Redskins Vs. Colts - Studs and Duds In what was one of the worst home opener performances in years Dustin Hopkins Jersey , the Redskins were throttled in all phases of the game Sunday afternoon by the visiting Colts at a half-empty FedEx field. So much for the “Fan Experience” the Skins brass was touting all off-season; there was hardly anyone there to see it. This game resembled more of a Pitt home game that the season opener for the Burgundy and Gold. stuffed with that GREAT new menu of over-priced food items, and at least they got to see free fireworks - although NONE were produced by the home team!Below are my Studs and Duds for the game. Studs:Chris Thompson - The guy was taking an absolute beating underneath on the short passes - yet he hauled them all in, popped up off the ground, and kept coming back for more. He truly is our best offensive weapon.D.J. Swearinger - At least one Redskin came to play yesterday afternoon. Swearinger wasn’t perfect, but he was all over the field, and recorded two interceptions off Andrew Luck. The leader of the Redskins defense has been just that so far this season. Mason Foster - The guy was a complete MACHINE! That is all. Matt Ioannidis - Ioan-Man just keeps showing up, and displaying a relentless motor. Two tackles (one for a loss), a sack and two quarterback hits - pretty nice afternoon. Jonathan Allen - Much like Ioannidis, Allen was one of the bright spots on defense. He too showed a relentless motor which produced four tackles and two quarterback hits. His presence was certainly felt in the game. Duds:Alex Smith -This is a case where stats definitely don’t tell the whole story. Captain Check-down made his first appearance of the season, and boy was it in GRAND fashion!Some may call this a bit unfair to label the ultra-conservative Smith as a dud after his offensive line stunk it up, and his receivers failed to get open (yet again) - but all we heard all off-season was how Alex would audible to get the team into the correct looks, and if how the play broke down, his legs would carry us. Well, NONE of that seemed to happen on Sunday. The offensive redzone woes continued for Gruden again, and much of that blame, as it did when Kirk Cousins was here, falls on the quarterback play. The ENTIRE Redskins Offensive Line - Oh yes, make NO mistake; the entire unit were DUDS! Our All-Pro left tackle - huge DUD. Morgan Moses - awful! Lauvao - complete garbage heap! Scherff and Roullier - they stunk...maybe just not quite as bad as the others; but they stunk none-the-less. Question - how does an NFL offensive line fail to pick up stunts all game WITHOUT making an adjustment? Embarrassing, just plain embarrassing. The Redskins Wide Receivers - Is it just me, or do these guys have serious issues getting open and/or catching the football? Is Alex maybe afraid to take chances with this group? I’m just completely dumbfounded at this point. And Chesson...you HAVE to come back to the football son! Not just stand there and wait for the ball to come to you! They teach you that in Pop Warner! I could probably cut Paul Richardson some slack, as he’s the only one who seems to get more than a yard of separation. Ryan Kerrigan - Talk about a major disappearing act...check your milk cartons folks - has anyone seen Ryan Kerrigan? His stat line for the day...1 tackle!How about his stats so far on the season - 1 tackle!...that’s it!Josh Norman - Someone please remind me again how much we are paying this guy to get abused by T.Y. Hilton? TFF (Tyler Football Focus), had him rated a -2.3 - the lowest of any qualifying corner who played a minimum of 20 snaps. Dustin Hopkins - I’m REALLY getting sick and tired of the missed field goals and fans defending this guy. Even the kicks he makes you have to hold your breath on half of them. Can the team please bring in Dan Bailey (or someone) for a tryout. Jay Gruden (and the rest of the GD coaching staff) - Wow, was this embarrassing. You know what’s even more embarrassing? Having to listen to these Gruden pressers after the game. Shut your damn mouth, and FIX the problem! If you can’t, then we need to find someone who can! And Bill Callahan - you’ve been in the league long enough...is it possible for you to make an adjustment so your offensive line can pick up a damn stunt! Manusky - you sucked too. It’s not too hard to realize Josh Norman can’t cover T.Y. Damn Hilton man-on-man! Holy cow, the entire coaching staff should fire themselves!Redskins Fans at the Game - One word - EMBARRASSING! Notes:- I was so sick to my stomach after this performance that I couldn’t force myself to watch it a second time.- Go get Josh Gordon! ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — After deciding to give Reuben Foster an immediate second chance following his domestic violence arrest, the Washington Redskins say they’ll continue to investigate the 24-year-old’s legal problems and are making no assurances he’ll ever play for them given the obstacles he must clear to return.Foster is currently on the NFL’s Commissioner Exempt list and cannot play in games or practice following his arrest Saturday night at the San Francisco 49ers’ team hotel in Tampa. He has been charged with one count of first-degree misdemeanor domestic violence.Washington was the only team to put in a claim for Foster after the 49ers released him Monday, the league’s latest example of an organization looking past off-field issues for potential on-field production.Coach Jay Gruden acknowledged Wednesday the Redskins must deal with the public criticism of adding Foster so soon after his arrest, But the coach isn’t sure the second-year linebacker will actually ever suit up for Washington.“We accept, obviously, the questions, but we want to let the process play out and see what happens and get to the bottom of it,” Gruden said. “There’s no guarantee he’s ever going to play here, to be honest with you. He’s got a lot of work to do — personally, with the team, with the NFL, with himself — before he even thinks about playing football again.”Foster was arrested on a domestic violence charge last spring. Though those charges were dropped, Foster served a two-game suspension to begin this season for his arrest on a gun charge and for misdemeanor marijuana possession.San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan, who was Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2010-2013, said he was a little surprised a team claimed Foster. Gruden said it was a “team decision” made with president Bruce Allen and senior vice president of player personnel Doug Williams.“At the end of the day we decided to make the move, and we’ll deal with the outcry, so to speak,” Gruden said. “But for the most part Tress Way Jersey , this is a young athlete, a young person who got himself into some trouble, and we want to find out exactly what happened.”Gruden said after practice Wednesday the organization did not speak to the woman involved in the incident. He did say the Redskins spoke “a little bit” to Tampa police and would continue to look into Foster’s situation at the same time as the NFL holds its investigation.Nick Saban, Foster’s coach at Alabama, said he has not talked to the linebacker and doesn’t know much about his situation.“Anything that we can do to help Reuben or support Reuben in any way, I think he knows we’re here for him,” Saban said. “I love to see our guys make good choices and decisions and do the right things. Hopefully people can help Reuben do that in the future so he can have an outstanding career, but I have not talked to him.”Helen Jefferson Lenskyj, a University of Toronto professor emerita who has studied violence against women by athletes, said it’s common for teams to suspend judgment on a player in situations such as this.“In a very lucrative team professional sport like football, I’m not too surprised,” she said. “And it happens so frequently there’s sort of a pattern where we’ll wait until the facts are all in, we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt, we don’t want to destroy his career, there’s always two sides to the story — endless excuses.”Williams said in a statement the Redskins spoke to former Alabama teammates of Foster’s before signing him. Washington has seven ex-Crimson Tide players who were teammates of Foster’s at Alabama, but two of them said they were not asked about Foster by Allen, Williams or Gruden.“I didn’t talk to Bruce or anybody about it,” safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix said. “You’ve got to speak with the organization, the guys that are above me, on that decision. But as a human being, as a person that wants to provide for his family and make the right decisions, just got to learn from your mistakes.”Defensive lineman Jonathan Allen said he wasn’t consulted by the front office, either, and added that he could only talk about Foster’s character based on his personal interactions with him in college.“I’ve never had a problem. I’ve never seen any problems out of him,” Allen said. “He’s a great person. But I don’t know the whole details of the situation, so I can’t really speak about that. But from my experiences, it’s been good.”Rookie linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton said he was happy for the addition of Foster, but declined comment on whether he was asked by team brass about his former Alabama teammate.The Redskins are facing similar criticism to what the Dallas Cowboys received for signing linebacker Greg Hardy in 2015 after his domestic violence case. The Redskins also signed linebacker Junior Galette in 2016 after the New Orleans Saints released him following a domestic violence arrest, a charge that was later dismissed.Gruden said the team could have waited and signed Foster later, but didn’t want to chance another team signing him.Foster’s future with the team is unclear.Boston University professor Emily Rothman, who has published more than three dozen studies on interpersonal violence, said she hopes that during the ongoing NFL investigation that the woman involved has a say in what happens next.“Really the best person to go to is the survivor and the people supporting the survivor,” Rothman said. “And that should be done consistently. Now, what the fallout is? In some cases, suspension might be the right thing. In other cases, it might not be because the situation really can vary.”The Redskins took on Foster, whose rookie contract runs through 2020, in the hopes that he can help them on the field at some point. There’s no timeframe for him to be able to contribute, and Gruden knows the team gets “nothing” out of the move if Foster is found guilty.“We understand that there’s a lot of things that he’s gone through, and there’s some issues there,” Gruden said. “We’re going to let the NFL take their time and do the right thing with the investigation, as are we. And we’ll go from there.”
