Let us take a fleet look back at the “afraid-to-say-rebuilding” 5-11, 2011 Washington Redskins.
Shattering ESPN’s hint of winning only three games the over-achieving Redskins won five. Mike Shanahan recorded the longest losing bolt of his career and his worst overall record ever . It’s now been four years since the franchise has produced a pleasing season or reached the playoffs.
Now onto the awards section of our program....
The MVP Accord and the Defensive Award go to London Fletcher: the NFL’s energizer bunny and tackling instrument . Any Redskins defensive player who finished the last two seasons on IR should talk to Fletch about his in the flesh maintenance. I’m guessing it doesn’t involve eight hours of every day weight-lifting.
The award for the Offensive MVP was lost in the mail.
The Most Important Special Teamer was Sav Rocca. Great pick-up by Shanahan, even if he might be an Eagles spy.
There are several Emerging Luminary recipients: Roy Helu, Ryan Kerrigan, Perry Riley and Evan Royster. That’s a respected sign . Running backs need to flourish in Shanahan’s system and linebackers have occasion for to flourish in a 3-4 defensive set.
