I can use this column to figure out what s wrong with this team, which was projected to go all the way, and try to figure out how these problems can be fixed. In their division, the Redskins are looking up at the Giants and Eagles, two teams with much less talent. It s the special teams. That was easy. Fixing them may take several pages.
Many people see the offense as a problem.
There is a lack of speed at wide receiver and they can t get into the end zone. I say the running game and the defense are good enough to win most games. Then, when the other team is fatigued, their average wide receivers can get open downfield. With Michael Westbrook out, the Redskins receiving corps, despite having two future hall of famers in Irving Fryar and Andre Reed, is mediocre at best. But they should be able to wear teams down by running Stephen Davis 30 times up the middle and relying on their D to hold teams to under 10 points.
