Week One Offensive Starters

Trying to name the Redskins day one starters before the draft or free agency is over is hard, but because of the lack of cap room and lack of high draft picks we can assume most of the week one starters are already on the team.  This week I will list the week one offensive starters.  And next week I will list the week one defensive starters.

Quarter Back (QB) – RGIII – If not for his injury, this would be a now brainer.  But I still think that week one he will be ready to go and start the game. 

Half Back (HB) –Alford Morris – Definitely a no brainer, second in the league in rushing last year and has more rushing yards in one season that any other Redskin. 

Full Back (FB) – Darrell Young – Becoming one of the best blocking full backs in the league.  Considering he didn’t even start playing full back until he came to the NFL that is pretty impressive.

Wide Receiver (WR) – Pierre Garcon – When Garcon was healthy last year, we won games.  When he was injured we lost.  He is a game changer and will be out there week one catching passes from RGII.

Wide Receiver (WR) – Joshua Morgan – Morgan was a very dependable receiver last year and I don’t think any of the young guys take his spot yet.  He is reliable with good hands and size.  Depending on how the young guys play during the season he could loss his starting position but I think he will start week one.

Tight End (TE) – Fred Davis – Fred Davis is one of the most talented tight ends in the league.  And if he can stay healthy he will show the rest of the league what us Redskin fans already know.

Left Tackel (LT) – Trent Williams – Another no brainer, he is arguably the most athletically gifted tackle in the league and with another year under his belt he will be even better than last year.

Left Guard (LG) – Kory Lichtensteiger – Just signed a five year deal with us.  I thought that with his back up Leribeus being a third round pick and playing well when asked to last year that they would let Lichtensteiger walk.  But apparently the coaches know something I don’t and I don’t think you resign a guy to a contract like that unless he is going to be the starter.

Center (C) – Will Montgomery – Had his best year as a pro last year.  He is big and strong and athletic for his size.  I think he can possibly make a pro bowl with another big year.

Right Guard (RG) – Chris Chester – After a disappointing first year in Washington he played a lot better last year.  He was one of our most consistent linemen all last year.  He may face some competition from Leribeus but I think he beats him out and starts week one.

Right Tackle (RT) – Tyler Polumbus – As much as it pains me to say this, but I think he will be our week one starter.  He is a more than serviceable back up but not a good starting option.  Unfortuneatly I think he is our best option and if he starts week one than our whole offensive line will be the same from last year, which helps with continuity.  Let me know who you think should be the starting right tackle above.
