Washington to the Super Bowl

by Tanner Hale
After an exciting NFL season in the books, it’s now time to get focused on next season as free agency starts, NFL combine, and NFL Draft approaches.
One team that the league should be scared of coming into next season is the Washington Redskins.


Washington lead the NFL in rush yards last season with two rookies in the backfield. Robert Griffin III and Alfred Morris is arguably the most explosive running duo in the league.

Peirre Garcon didn’t have a huge effect due to injury, but when he was in the starting lineup, he averaged nearly 100 yards receiving per game.

The Washington Redskins front 7 was among the leagues best, without one of the most elite young pass rushers in the game, Brian Orakpo. They finished 5th in rush defense and made a clear statement that you will have to beat us through the air

The Redskins offensive line included Trent Williams and Will Montgomery, who were Pro-Bowl selections this season.

The biggest need for Washington over the off season is the secondary, this was the worst secondary in the league and it hindered the Redskins playoff run due to its lack of skill and decision-making against some of the premier wide-outs in the league.

And here I quote, “The Washington Redskins will advance to the NFC Championship game”, only if they improve the secondary. The Redskins have the most explosive offense in the NFL and have the front 7 to win a super bowl. Hail to the Redskins!
