Washington Redskins Tickets

The Washington Redskins made an important decision this summer. No longer would FedEx Field be a place for the living dead to try and resurrect their careers as the starting quarterback. Goodbye Donovan McNabb, farewell John Beck, please site down Rex Grossman. Instead, hello number two pick in the 2012 NFL draft Robert Griffin III. The future is bright but those with Washington Redskins tickets are by no means expecting a smooth finish to the season. Even Peyton Manning only won three games his rookie season.

Perhaps that is not quite the best example. Manning had the zombie crawl down since college.Griffinarrives as a far more mobile quarterback with perhaps a better arm. However,Griffinis hoping to be as a much a game changing quarterback, one who can alter the path of an NFL franchise.Griffinhas already tried to be a little more Manning-like in this early season. His Week 1 performance was inspirational. He threw for two touchdowns and stayed in the pocket and let his receivers run their routes and make their reads. The result is a better than 70 percent completion percentage, two touchdowns, no picks, and an incredible average of a dozen yards per pass attempt.

General Manager Bruce Allen did a great job acquiring Pierre Garcon to play opposite Santana Moss. Fellow rookie Aldrick Robinson has been a solid addition as the third receiver and tight end Fred Davis is a solid blankie for a rookie.

Coach Mike Shanahan will do his best to provide an acceptable running game to give Griffin a chance to put up similarly impressive passing numbers. Alfred Morris, Evan Royster and Roy Helu are all likely to take turns starting in the backfield, with the coach riding whoever is hot. Shanahan is not one to focus on a feature back. This will be Kyle Shanahan’s last chance to prove himself as an offensive coordinator. Kyle needs to develop a repartee with Griffin as the feckless pass defense is likely to require Griffin spend much of his rookie season coming from behind or taking part in a barnburner. Obviously this season revolved around Griffin and every true Redskin football fan should be trying to find Redskins tickets to enjoy the journey as the rookie develops into a transcendent player.
