(Portis would get a D, but the O-Line is bad too. Ladell Betts looked even worse)
Quarterback
Jason Campbell
DYAR=121, 14
DVOA=17.8%, 14
1 TD, 1 FL, 1 INT, 68.9 C%
4 rush, 48 yds.
Considering the O-Line, the lack of support from the RB position, and the lack of production from WR1 and WR2, Jason Campbell has had an excellent year so far. Lack of TDs is the only thing holding him back from A.
Current Grade = B+
Wide Receivers - Tight Ends
Antwaan Randle El
DYAR=38, 17
15 rec, 137 yds
Catch rate=73%
Malcolm Kelly
DYAR=6, 45
Catch Rate=71%
Chris Cooley
DYAR=36, 8
Opposing teams are intentionally concentrating on stopping the only deep threat, Santana Moss, who is having a terrible start to the year and his lowest 2-game catch total in years. This is not necessaruly a bad thing as it has allowed Randle El to thrive in the slot, Cooley to continue his Top 10 production, and allowed Malcolm Kelly to get in the flow of the offense.

Doing a great job against the run but they need to get more pressure on the QB.
Linebackers
The Redskins are 9th in the NFL at stopping the run, and 27th at preventing runs of 10+ yards. Not a good sign of the ability of the LBs to stop RBs at the second level beyond the line. Part of this is also on the secondary, but Orakpo's lack of tackles is also worrisome. So far the experiment is questionable. Huge credit goes to London Fletcher for doing his best to pick up the slack.
Current Grade = C
Secondary
Pass Defense=13.3%, 17
There were rumblings that the 2009 Redskins defense could be one of its best ever. Not with a secondary playing like this. Loaded with blue chip players at their peak NFL age: LaRon Landry (Rd 1, age 24), Carlos Rogers (Rd 1, age 28), DeAngelo Hall (Rd 1, age 25), Fred Smoot (Rd 2, age 30), plus overachieving playmaker Chris Horton, and one of the best off-the-bench safety in the NFL, Reed Doughty on paper this could be the #1 secondary in the NFL. They aren't even average, and were exposed repeatedly by a Giants passing offense featuring a bunch of no-name WRs.
Current Grade = C-
Overall Team Grade = C
The Redskins are perfectly average. The O-Line is in shambles and as currently constructed look to be about a D going forward. The good news is that they have a RB good enough to carry the ground game to a C despite the O-Line. The passing offense continues to grow and could reach B. The D-line is excellent. The LBs can reach all the way to an A/B grade but that requires some huge progress by Orakpo. The secondary is one of the most talented units in the league but is seriously underachieving. The upside is there.
