New format, new times, new Youth Report.
This is the new Redskins Youth Report. After about 7 years of doing it the same way, times have come to change it a bit. It will now be done in a tiered ranking by different levels. Remember, our rankings are based on performance and contributions to the Redskins. The Tiers will not be separated by rookies and 2nd year players. They are all thrown in together.
Top Tier Rookies:
1. S Chris Horton: Horton is the top ranked Redskins rookie. As a seventh round draft pick, this likely would not have been predictable by any Redskins fan, analysts, or writer. Horton stays on the positive because he was one of the few that put in a rather impressive performance against the Giants. Horton is aggressive and very quick. He has improved his tackling and has a strong knack for being around the football. That’;s his charm as a newly position starter on this defense. That is precisely why S Reed Doughty won’t get his job back, Horton is just to, well, impactful (new word!) Horton finished with 8 tackles and 3 assists. A good, solid performance. (1)
2. S Laron Landry: Landry comes in second. As a second year player, this will be Landry’s last season on the Youth Report list. Landry has played very well, but at times shows lapses in judgment. He started out the season on fire, unable to be thrown at deep. There have been time since he has been beaten or doesn’t make the play to the ball well. BUT, overall, another solid season for Landry. This week, Landry had 5 tackles and 2 assists. There is no doubt, Landry is more effective the closer his is to the line of scrimmage. I wish the Redskins would send him on a few more blitzes and utilize his speed. (2)
