The best players from an average team.

Top 10 Redskins Players

These are the top 10 Washington Redskins players of 2015.

10. Alfred Morris

Morris has performed well, given that his carries have dropped significantly this season and his offensive line is not so great at run blocking. He still hits the whole with a burst and carries defenders.

9. Matt Jones

Jones ranks just ones higher than Morris because he has made it to the end zone four times. He has a little more speed and pass-catching ability than Morris. His only issue is ball security.


8. Chris Baker

Baker has had a pleasantly surprising breakout year for himself, establishing himself as the Redskins' most disruptive lineman this season. He penetrates into the backfield on running plays and has himself a career high five sacks so far. Prior to this season, his highest sack total for a single season was just one.


7. Ryan Kerrigan

Battling through a hand injury and adjusting to Joe Barry's new defensive system, Kerrigan may not be having his best season, but he is still the Redskins' best pass rusher by a long shot. He leads the Redskins with 6.5 sacks.

6. Dustin Hopkins

Hopkins has had himself a solid year, connecting on 21 of 24 field goals (87.5%). He has a lot of power when he kicks the ball and has been fairly accurate in his kicks, too.


5. Bashaud Breeland

Breeland is the Redskins' best defensive player, picking off two passes for 56 yards and registering a couple of forced fumbles. He is the future for Washington's defense secondary. Breeland plays man coverage well, showcases great ball instincts, and tackles so well for a cornerback out in space.

4. Kirk Cousins

Coming in at #4 is the quarterback himself: Kirk Cousins. Cousins ranks among the league's best in completion percentage this year (68.6%). He has thrown for 17 touchdowns for over 3,000 yards with 10 interceptions and three rushing touchdowns. His decision-making has improved a lot from last year: he's humble and he is a total team player that I believe is the future of this team.

YOU LIKE THAT?

3. Pierre Garcon

Garcon is the total package at wide receiver -- great hands, decent speed, versatile route runner, and run blocker out on the edge. He has caught 54 passes for 562 yards and three touchdowns so far this season. He should get more passes thrown his way but he is sometimes overshadowed by the other receivers.

2. Jordan Reed

If Reed knew how to block he would probably be #1. He is the ultimate receiving tight end, totaling 58 receptions for 574 yards and six touchdowns, all team highs. His route running is phenomenal and he rarely drops passes. Reed is a nightmare for linebackers and safeties. He also makes plays down in the red zone.

1. Trent Williams

Trent Williams is the ultimate left tackle and quarterback's best friend. He is the only left tackle to not surrender a sack this season and he run blocks like a mammoth. Williams is quick for a tackle and always knows where to be to spring the ball carrier for another few yards. He simply plays mistake-free football and does his job nearly every play.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
