The Redskins responded in a big way this past weekend on the road

The Redskins responded in a big way this past weekend on the road Youth Montae Nicholson Jersey , beating a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team who, pre-game, presented a vast amount of challenges for the Washington Redskins. A 16-3 victory is not pretty by any means; however, what the Redskins displayed in the outing against Tampa Bay showed that not only is Washington still in great shape for a playoff push, but they were undervalued by many. Here is all of what we learned from the Redskins sixth victory on the season.Which is more accurate? The 2018 Redskins are a resilient team or are they merely undervalued? The answer is both, but 60/40 in favor of being more undervalued. When the injury bug hit the Redskins over the past few weeks, a lot of fans and media members thought the train was on the brink of being derailed for the second straight season. Of course,everyone who thought it had the right to think that way, it was the same situation from the previous year with injury tally. Here is the deal though, the Redskins still have to step on the field and play, the season was not over for them, and they had a lot to play for in the vital months of November and December. The Redskins took advantage of an explosive but generous Tampa Bay offense, forcing four turnovers throughout the game, three being in the fourth quarter. The Redskins were not only resilient, but a better team than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and many people did not know this. The Redskins are an undervalued team.The Redskins may have a makeshift offensive line as it stands, but the veterans will hold steady with Washington’s scheme and coaching.Washington’s offensive line consisted of two backups, one free agent who was signed a week ago, a young second-year starter, and an often injured veteran. This makeshift unit produced 116 yards on the ground, which was the bread and butter for this offense, and allowed three sacks. For a group that has not played together at all during the season Cheap Josh Doctson Jersey , they played winning football against Tampa Bay Sunday and did just enough (which is all that matters given the circumstances) to give the Redskins a chance to win. To put lit lightly, the Bucs were a cakewalk compared to the Redskins next opponent, the Houston Texans. It will be fascinating to see how they follow-up a solid debut against a more robust front of the Texans. The defense had another lousy outing yardage wise, they gave up a lot but capitalized on a turnover-prone Ryan Fitzpatrick. They continue to be an opportunistic defense.The Redskins defense forced three Ryan Fitzpatrick turnovers Sunday, but giving the Redskins offense four extra possessions in total throughout the day. This outing was utterly different from the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons game, in which they not only gave up many yards but did not take points off the board consistently. Whether it was by forcing a punt/field goal or a critical turnover, they struggled to get that accomplished. Yes, The Falcons had a mishap in the Redskins territory, the anomaly, however, that was not indicative of their performance throughout the day. The Tampa Bay game showed that even if the Redskins was going to give up a lot in between the 20s, they were going to force the Buccaneers to be perfect deep in the Redskins territory, and they could not do it. With 18 turnovers forced this year and a plus 11 turnover margin, the Redskins are in good shape, and I am confident they can continue being the opportunistic defense moving forward.Build The Team: CFB Standouts Week 6 OffenseReggie Corbin, RBSchool: Illinois | Conference: BIG 10College Experience: Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 5-10 / 200 lbsIf any of you follow area high school football you may recognize Corbin’s name. Corbin is a native of Prince George’s county Maryland and played high school football at Gonzaga in downtown D.C. before he landed at Illinois. Corbin wasn’t highly recruited I think he may have only been a 1 or 2 star prospect but he is making the most out of his opportunities this season at Illinois. Last season he didn’t see many carries last season and took the offseason to get in better shape. This season Corbin is the workhorse for the Illini and is a top 5 rusher in the BIG 10 in rushing yards. Corbin primarily rushes out of the shotgun but he uses his vision, agility, and speed to take advantage of the zone run scheme he plays in. Illinois has had some prolific runner’s in their history but Corbin is on pace to land a spot in their single season top 10 rushing list. He finished this matchup against Rutgers with 11 carries for 137 yards and a touchdown. Gardner Minshew, QBSchool: Washington State | Conference: PAC 12College Experience: RS Senior | Age: 23?Height / Weight: 6-2 / 220 lbsMinshew started his collegiate football career at East Carolina. He was given a red shirt during that time and also graduated so now he is playing as a graduate transfer at Washington State. It’s going pretty well for him. Minshew is playing really well in Washington State’s air raid offense and he’s on his way to putting up career best numbers. Who knows what NFL future Minshew might have the transition for his predecessors from college to the pro’s hasn't been a smooth one. In the meantime he is one of the most prolific passers in the PAC 12 and that was on display this weekend as he lit up Oregon State going 30/40 for 430 yards and 5 TDs. If Minshew continues to play this way he will definitely catch the eye scouts and start receiving a lot more buzz. Dexter Williams, RBSchool: Notre Dame | Conference: IndependentsCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 5-11 / 215 lbsAt Notre Dame just because you begin the season as a starter doesn’t mean your job is safe. We have seen it with Ian Book replacing Brandon Wimbush and we can see it again with Dexter Williams replacing Tony Jones Jr. Williams along with book as provided a spark to the Notre Dame offense transforming it to one of the more prolific offenses in the FBS. Williams talents were on display this past weekend against Virginia Tech. Williams dismantled the Tech defense and ripped off several huge runs that helped propel the Irish to a win. Williamshas legit speed and vision and once he gets into the open field he is hard to stop. Williams ran for 178 yards on 17 carries for 2 TDs this past weekend. In just two starts he has 339 yards on 39 carries and 4 TDs. Steven Montez, QBSchool: Colorado | Conference: PAC 12College Experience: RS Junior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-5 / 235 lbsRight now Montez is one of the most underrated QBs in college football. Montez got the keys to the Colorado offense last season and the growth from that year to this year is obvious. Montez leads a 5-0 Colorado team that is ranked 18th in total offense in the NCAA. A large part of that is how prolific Montez has been this year. What is most impressive about Montez’s growth is not his yardage Jamison Crowder Jersey , attempts, or touchdowns it is his accuracy. He is averaging a 75% completion rate for the season so far if he can keep up that kind of pace you’ll start hearing more about him by November. Montez picked apart Central Michigans offense this past weekend going 24/33 for 328 yards and 2 touchdowns. Special emphasis not necessarily on the numbers but on when and where he placed the ball. I’m liking him more each week.DefenseHasan Defense, CBSchool: Kansas | Conference: BIG 12College Experience: RS Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 5-11 / 187 lbsKansas lost but Hasan Defense picked off one of college football’s best quarterbacks not once but twice. The picks themselves are dope but what is even most impressive and encouraging about Defense as an NFL prospect is his ability to bait a quarterback and his instinct and ability to break on the ball at the last moment and convert those opportunities to touchdowns. In a conference often criticized for its defense there are few defensive players in the BIG 12 that could pull their weight in other p5 conferences. I think Defense is one of those guys. Plus, his name, its obvious. He finished this game with 7 tackles 1 pass defended and 2 interceptions. Jachai Polite, EDGESchool: Florida | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Junior | Age: 20?Height / Weight: 6-2 / 242 lbsFlorida is 5-0 and has looked pretty good in all their games. They are a real dark horse to make waves in the SEC. A huge part of that has been Florida’s defense a lot of the players are don’t have enough experience to be draft eligible but the Gator defensive unit is clicking as well as any other top defense in the country right now. A standout star in the making on that defense is Jachai Polite. He has already caught the eye of #drafttwitter and well as real NFL scouts. Perhaps aside from the question of length Polite has all the other coveted skills of an EDGE rusher. He is quick and fast and can make a tackle look silly. He can pursue and shut off running lanes. He can get to the QB and bend the edge to make the sack in just one fluid movement. Florida upset LSU this weekend in large part to Polite’s presence on defense. He finished this game with 6 tackles (2 for loss), 2 sacks, a forced fumble, and a pass defended. Brian Burns, EDGESchool: Florida State | Conference: ACCCollege Experience: Junior | Age: 21?Height / Weight: 6-5 / 235 lbsThere isn’t much to be happy about if you’re a Florida State fan but there is no question that you can have pride in your best player Brian Burns who is also one of the best edge rushers in the country. Burns nearly destroyed the Miami offense and nearly broke my heart this weekend. Burns got after new starter N’Kosi Perry often and made a fool of the offensive line. Burns has the length so coveted by NFL teams off the edge and is relentless in his pass rush. Burns doesn’t just have potential he is so far above so many EDGE prospects already. He has a ridiculous swat, dip, and swim move that he uses to quickly beat protection and get after the QB. He’ll likely be a 1st round pick coming from a bad team. He finished this game with 4 tackles (3 for loss), 2 sacks, 1 pass defended, and 2 forced fumbles. Montez Sweat, EDGESchool: Mississippi State | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 22?Height / Weight: 6-6 / 245 lbsIf it hasn’t clicked already there are some very good edge rushers potentially in this year’s class. One player that will be entering for sure is Montez Sweat. I don’t know what it is about Mississippi State Edge rushers but I have been in love since Preston Smith. Athletically Sweat is what some Redskins fan’s wish Smith was. Both players will be compared for obvious reasons but I think Sweat is more dangerous coming off the edge (I really like Smith BTW). Sweat has built an impressive resume at Miss State already. He is one of the nation’s sack leaders (8) and is almost past his career best he set last year (10.5) in just 6 games. The same goes for his TFL numbers this season (10.5) compared to last year (15.5). He is on his way to setting personal bests. Put simply he lives in the backfield and can take over games. His did just that against Auburn this past weekend. Sweat finished that game with 3 tackles (all 3 for loss), 3 sacks, and one forced fumble.
