Redskins @ rams
(Derek Hingle/Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE)
Washington Redskins at St. Louis Rams
Sunday: September 16th
4:05 PM
When the Redskins went into New Orleans week 1, only the extreme faithful of Redskins Nation, and probably people within the Redskins organization for that matter, believe the Skins had the firepower to keep up with the Saints.
My how things change after just one week. Robert Griffin has all of the region buzzing and even has Sports Center talking about the Washington Redskins — even outside of Griffining. The Redskins are a 3.5 point favorite against the Rams, and I have even seen people advising to take them in survivor pools.
Washington looks to continue to build on their offensive success, while fine tuning some things on defense and special teams.
Here are a few things to look for during the mid-afternoon matchup:

Alf, RG3 make the moves in Redskins backfield
It isn't easy playing backfield buddy to Robert Griffin III. The ball placed on your numbers for a handoff can suddenly disappear. Take the wrong angle, and suddenly you're playing bumper cars behind the line of scrimmage.
The other rookie in the Washington Redskins starting lineup is sixth-round draft pick Alfred Morris, who overcame a misstep or two to have an NFL debut...

One of the more compelling storylines from Week One was the impressive debut of Robert Griffin III. The Heisman Trophy winning quarterback and No. 2 overall pick led the Redskins to a surprising road upset of the favored Saints.
In fact, it was more than impressive. It was historic in more than one way.
On Wednesday, the NFL announced that Griffin is the NFC offensive player of the...

Alfred Morris – Alfred Morris should run all over the Rams run defense in week two. I expect the Redskins to be protecting a lead in this one and feeding Morris consistently in the second half. The Rams just aren’t good enough to compete and will regret not giving up on Bradford for RGIII if they don’t already. Morris is in line for 25...

For once, there is no quarterback controversy in Washington. Barring a complete meltdown, RGIII will be the starter for as long as he stays healthy. Rex Grossman is a journeyman backup and will be number two, and the inexperienced but talented rookie Kirk Cousins appears ready to challenge Grossman in the near future. This virtual certainty at that key position has allowed Shanahan...

Redskins running back Alfred Morris seems to be generating as much discussion in the fantasy football world as anyone. As a (for now) starting running back for Mike Shanahan coming off a 28-carry, two-touchdown game in Week 1, it's easy to understand why heads are turning.
