The Washington Redskins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are playing live on the NFL preseason schedule for Week 4 and the matchup comes as both teams have new head coaches and it starts up at 7:30 pm ET and is live at Raymond James Stadium as RG3 tries to have a bounce back year and Josh McCown is leading the Bucs at QB and the game is live on NFL.com.
The Redskins have RG3 back healthy and they are hoping he can stay that way, but they also have Kirk Cousins ready to come in if he needs to. The team has high expectations after going just 3-13 last season and they have a tough division in the NFC East, as the Eagles were the winners while the Cowboys and Giants should both be improved as well. The team signed DeSean Jackson after his ridiculous release form the Eagles and now they have another great receiver to put alongside Pierre Garcon, who had a breakout year last season.
Griffin needs to learn to play quarterback from the pocket and while he is an amazing athlete, dude also needs to shed the attitude. Griffin doesn't have an attitude problem per se, but he turns every situation into a me against the world thing and he really needs to stop being such a baby and handle the criticism, because he's been hurt in each of the last two years and still has not learned to slide correctly, so maybe look in the mirror man. Griffin is great, but he has to play better and Jay Gruden is the type of offensive coach that can handle someone like RG3.
The Redskins had a strong rushing attack with Alfred Morris and Roy Helu and they will need that to continue and they come into the game after a loss to the Baltimore Ravens on the road. The team now plays against the Buccaneers in Florida and the team then opens with two of three games on the road and that includes opening against the Texans and then the Jaguars before playing the Eagles on the road. The Eagles made the playoffs last season and won the division and the team has two divisional games with the Giants after Philly, which is before a home matchup with the champions Seahawks.
The Redskins have three of the next four after that on the road, including another Monday night football matchup with the Dallas Cowboys. The team also plays against the Cardinals, Titans and Vikings, while the Buccaneers will be on the schedule out of the bye week. The team has a tough stretch with the Niners and Colts on the road and that has another stretch of three games on the road in four weeks, including the Giants after playing the Rams.
