The Redskins started off the year 2-0 and everyone rushed to proclaim them the sleeper team in the NFC. Rex Grossman is a real quarterback look at him play well! They run the ball and play good defense! Well unfortunately for the Redskins, that spiraled downward into a 5-11 finish on the season. Lowlights of the season include:
- Two of the Redskins' good young players were suspended for the final four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy
- Mike Shanahan playing QB Carousel with Rex Grossman and John Beck
- Mike Shanahan inexplicably not playing Roy Helu consistently until the end of the season
The first thing I would suggest the Redskins do is get a new coach, new GM, and new owner. But since none of that is realistically happening, we'll move on to the real needs of the team.
