4/12/12 With the second overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins are looking to pick up a new franchise quarterback that they hope will solve their problems on offense. With a defense that is already among the best in the league, the Redskins will put their faith in whichever quarterback falls to them with the second pick. Of course, that depends on who the Colts end up taking with the first pick. Many experts believe that means Washington will likely end up with Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III from Baylor who will arrive with his Superman socks to save the Skins.

Washington Redskins Tickets - Season Preview

After finishing the 2010-11 NFL season 6-10 and fourth in the Eastern division of the National Football Conference, the Washington Redskin selected Purdue defensive end Ryan Kerrigan with the No. 16 overallpick in the 2011 NFL entry draft. With the exit of nose tackle AlbertHaynesworth, the Redskins continued overhauling the defensive linethroughout the draft. Washington selected Clemson defensive tackle Jarvis Jenkins with the team’s second pick and would select two moredefensive linemen in the final round of the draft. While two other players were chosen ahead of him, no Redskins rookieenters 2011 with as much hype and fan attention than former Miami Hurricane wide receiver Leonard Hankerson. Redskins faithful haveplaced high expectations on Hankerson following a record-breakingcareer at Da U, surpassing former Hurricane greats like MichaelIrving, Reggie Wayne and Andre Johnson. With former Cane Santana Mosssigning a five-year contract this offseason, Skins fans can expect tosee game-breaking plays from the due for years to come.
Washington moves into the 2011-12 NFL season without six-time Pro Bowl quarterback Donavon McNabb. After being benched in favor of backup RexGrossman during a week eight game against the Detroit Lions, itappeared McNabb’s time in the Nation’s Capital was over. Following the worst statistical year of his career since his rookie season in 1999,he was traded to the Minnesota Vikings on July 27, 2011 in exchangefor a 2012 sixth-round draft pick and another conditional pick in 2013.

Washington Redskins Tickets - Team History

The Washington Redskins have represented the nation's capital since 1937, winning five league championships and three Super Bowls in the process. With only two playoff appearances in the past decade, the new millennium has not been overly kind to the Redskins and, unfortunately, 2011 may be another rebuilding year for the team. The Donovan McNabb experiment does not look promising, and a rocky relationship between McNabb and head coach Mike Shanahan possibly foreshadows an end to the quarterback's time in D.C. Though the Redskins may not be favored to win the NFC East this year, Shanahan is a proven winner and is a good man for Washington to have in its corner.

Washington Redskins Tickets - 2011 Season Info

Though he showed flashes of what made him a perennial Pro Bowler in Philadelphia, 2010 was a rough year for Donovan McNabb. His 14 touchdowns were his lowest total since his rookie season, and his 15 interceptions were a career high. Rex Grossman will probably take over this season, but the team's offensive weapons do not exactly send goosebumps throughout the NFC. Neither, unfortunately, does the defense. Call it a player cashing in and checking out or a coach unwilling to bend his philosophy for a superstar, but Albert Haynesworth has been a complete disaster in Washington. His brief flashes of dominance mixed with constant bickering with Shanahan have made him a far cry from the player who commanded a $100 million dollar contract just two years ago. At 36, London Fletcher was incredible last year, and Brian Orakpo is a very good strongside linebacker. Wins over the Eagles, Packers, and Bears last year showed that not only do the Redskins have the ability to win tough games, their defense is capable of stifling tough offenses. Yet the same team that gave up 12 points to the Eagles in Week 4 gave up 59 to the same squad just six weeks later.

Washington Redskins Tickets - 2011 Schedule

Washington's schedule just may allow the team to contend this year. Depending obviously on how the season plays out, out of conference games against the Cardinals, Rams, Panthers, Bills, Dolphins, Seahawks, and Vikings all present games Washington can look at right now and expect to win. Their six conference games, however, are going to be challenging, as the Cowboys, Eagles, and Giants should be tough once again.
