Plenty of people have criticized the Washington Redskins lately; matter of fact, it's probably difficult to find anyone outside of Daniel Snyder's earshot who has anything nice to say about the team. But for all the grief and disgust the Redskins have inspired, no one has done a better job of pointing out what a train wreck this team has become than the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Yes, the Rams beat the Redskins 24-0, but that wasn't the best part of the story. Rams head coach Jeff Fisher sent Stedman Bailey, Michael Brockers, Janoris Jenkins, Alec Ogletree, Greg Robinson and Zac Stacy out to midfield to handle the coin toss.
What do those six players have in common? Why, they're six of the players St. Louis acquired via draft picks when it dealt Washington the pick that would become Robert Griffin III. Yes, the same RG3 who's now a disgraced distant second option at quarterback for Washington.
Here, courtesy of Fox Sports, is a visual reminder of where things stand:
Bailey caught two passes for 47 yards, while Ogletree had seven tackles and Jenkins three. Robinson also started the game at left tackle. Griffin? He was on mop-up duty, coming in down 24 points and completing just three of four passes while taking yet another sack. Advantage thoroughly St. Louis.
The only way St. Louis could more thoroughly de-pants Washington in this deal would be if the Rams picked up Griffin, which is not out of the realm of possibility starting next year, and turn him into a viable starter. That's really the only way this saga should end.
