The Redskins home loss to the Eagles on Sunday punctuated a season in turmoil. The Skins http://www.authenticswashingtonredskins.com/cheap-dustin-hopkins-jersey , in front of a home crowd filled with Eagles fans, could muster just 89 yards of total offense, while Greg Manusky’s defense continued to allow receivers and running backs wide open flats to catch and run all over. Below are my Studs and Duds of the game.Studs:Tress Way - The Redskins punter averaged almost 45 yards per boot, and threw the best pass of the game by any Redskins player on a called fake punt that went for a first down. Deshazor Everett - Starting in place of former safety D.J. Swearinger, Everett played very well, recording eight tackles, a pass defended and an interception. Shaun Dion Hamilton - Dion Hamilton continued to show he’s the best linebacker on the team White Paul Richardson Jersey , recording eight tackles, one sack, one tackle for a loss, and two quarterback hits. The rookie has played great over the second half of the season, and he’s a player to watch this off-season. Duds:Josh Johnson - Johnson was horrible on the day, going 12-27 for 91 yards and an interception. His passes were off the mark from the get-go, and he looked uncomfortable in the pocked and on the move. If this was his final audition for any NFL team next year http://www.authenticswashingtonredskins.com/cheap-zach-brown-jersey , he may have shot himself in the foot. The Offensive Line - The unit collectively played horrible. It looked as though they were playing to NOT commit penalties all game. Their run blocking was weak, they were not firing off the ball, and they allowed the Eagles defensive linemen to basically set up camp in the backfield all game.The Wide Receivers - I’ve said it all year; this group has a hard time getting open. It happened again Sunday, although Josh Johnson didn’t help matters by not getting guys the football when they did manage to break free from coverage.Preston Smith - Did he even play? Yeah, I know he was on the field...but did he actually PLAY?Josh Norman - We are paying this guy a LOT of money to make plays. He’s not doing his job!Jay Gruden - He went into the game knowing what he had to work with on offense - this was no surprise. The fact that his team produced just 89 yards of total offense and no scores is simply embarrassing. If Jay is retained for 2019, he needs to find an offensive play-caller. Bill Callahan - I’ve seen enough of him in D.C.! Greg Manusky - This guy has no business being a defensive coordinator in the NFL. His schemes lack imagination and deception, his blitzes are ill-timed and rarely get home White D.J. Swearinger Jersey , and he continues to allows offenses to exploit mismatches. Bruce Allen - #FireBruceAllen!And that is all folks!Enjoy the off-season. D’Andre Walker, OLBSchool: Georgia | Conference: SECCollege Experience: Senior | Age: 21Height / Weight: 6-3 / 245 lbsProjected Draft Status: 2nd or 3rd RoundNFL Comparison: Uchenna Nwosu College StatisticsPlayer OverviewD’Andre Walker was a 4-star prospect that was heavily recruited inside and out of his home state of Georgia. Walker decided to stay with the local big time program and committed to Georgia in 2015. He has put together 2 solid years of production and his head coach Kirby Smart heavily praised him for being a hard worker and considered him one of the team’s most important players. Georgia’s pass rush was not near the level it should have been this year after the losses of Roquan Smith and Lorenzo Carter to the NFL last year. Walker did his best to answer the call in that area and accounted for nearly a 3rd of the teams total sack production with 7.5 sacks on the year. Walker was asked to do a variety of things at Georgia as an outside linebacker. He played from a 2, 3, and 4 point stance on both the weak and strong sides. He dropped back into coverage and played a little inside linebacker in certain packages as well. Walker is an interesting OLB prospect because he falls into that second tier of OLB/EDGE prospects that will come off the board at the position in large part due to not being an elite athlete and being dubbed a ‘tweener’. Walker is a fine athlete and if a player of his talent is going to potentially drop to the 3rd round it should give you an idea of just how deep this class is at the position. StrengthsHigh effort / high motor player with good athleticism. Has natural feeling on how to use his speed, power, and length to get into the backfield. He can make quick work of a defender if everything goes right. Especially effective working off stunts where he can used his speed to cut inside and create interior pressure. Can convert his speed to power well. If Walker can consistently place his punch under the OL’s pads and keep his legs moving he wins the leverage and momentum battle and can overwhelm them quickly.Has experience dropping back into coverage but will have to prove he can do it consistently look for him at the Senior Bowl. He is also scheme versatile as an outside linebacker and should be able to play in 3-4 alignment as well as 4-3WeaknessesWalker isn’t overtly flexible, strong White Adrian Peterson Jersey , or fast so you won’t see him beat a lot of tackles outright with his speed until he works on his get off and technique more. Speaking of technique I think Walker has all the tools but like most prospects he doesn’t yet know when and how to use them all. He needs to improve his consistency. Most obvious he needs to get better at shedding blocks and developing counter moves so he doesn’t get stalled on his pass rush. This means improving his hands at the point of attack, playing at a consistent rush speed, and learning how to keep leverage and use it against his opponent. Walkers instincts and read and react ability strike me as just ok. In other words if he were more instinctive I think he would be involved in a lot more plays. This is especially true against the run where he isn’t really much of a factor. Size is decent but he is dubbed as the dreaded ‘tweener’.Let’s see his work:More D’Andre Walker videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsAfter drafting 6-4+ and 260+ pound defensive ends that they convert to linebackers in a 3-4 for the past few years the Redskins may be finally breaking out of that mold. They drafted Ryan Anderson in 2017 who is around 6-2 and 250 lbs. Anderson was not known for his athleticism but he is a true outside linebacker who should be more in the mix next season if Preston Smith is not brought back. How does Walker fit in? Walker offers the Redskins speed which they have been sorely lacking at the position. Walker is a similar size to Anderson and has the length to fit what the Redskins like. I do think they are looking to get faster at the position rather than only relying on technique and power as they have done in the past. Walker gives them that. The immediate issue is that Walker will have to improve his technique to get past the tackles in the NFL. The secondary ‘issue’ is that Walker is a pass rusher not a run defender. Don’t get be wrong all outside linebackers have to play the run and drop back into coverage at some point but the defensive philosophy of the Redskins seems to not make complete used of the pass rushing ability of its outside linebackers in the first place. If a change in this ideology is made I think Walker would be a better fit for the team at OLB where he can use his strengths despite his need to be stronger in other areas.
