Swearinger & Montae Nicholson seemed like a good duo.Swearinger was a reasonably talented veteran who seemed to have finally found a home where he could thrive with Washington, while Nicholson was a younger player who showed promise.However, at mid-season, the front office traded for HaHa Clinton-Dix and Nicholson was benched.A few weeks later, Nicholson got into a drunken brawl, resulting in his arrest. The Redskins responded quickly by moving him to the Reserve/NFI list.Not long after, D.J. Swearinger’s habit of mouthing off in public resulted in him being released by the Redskins, and suddenly Deshazor Everett was starting games.The Redskins let HHCD walk in free agency, but made one of the biggest moves of any NFL team this off-season when they signed former Giant, Landon Collins, to a 6-year, $84m contract.The 25 year-old should be a defensive cornerstone for the Redskins for the next half-decade.With Swearinger and Clinton-Dix both gone to other teams, Montae Nicholson had his day in court this week; the judge dismissed the charges against him for lack of evidence. Apparently His Honor does not have a Twitter account.That may have spelled the end of Montae’s recent legal issues, but his situation with the Redskins is still uncertain.He may well be in the team’s plans as the starter alongside Landon Collins, but he could also still face further discipline from the team or the league.Having not drafted a safety in April, the Redskins could be faced with the unpalatable option of starting Deshazor Everett again if Montae Nicholson faces a suspension, or if the team simply decides to release him.Fans have made some noise about signing a free agent — Tre Boston has been a popular name to throw around — or possibly having a cornerback or linebacker switch position, but Jay Gruden has mostly tossed cold water on both of those ideas.So, the team has limited existing depth on the roster, no safety selected in the draft, no veteran free agent added since Collins signed in mid-March, and the head coach says that we won’t see any other players switching positions to fill the roster spot.There’s really only one other source of safety help, and that’s an undrafted free agent. From among the original 8 UDFAs signed by the Redskins just after the draft, there’s only one safety in the group. Jo Jo McIntosh, welcome to Washington — possibly the most inviting place in the NFL for a young safety looking to make a roster.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="r3WFUQ">Click this link to access all 2018 and 2019 Undrafted Free Agent profiles on Hogs Haven<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="6Na6Ln">The 23-year-old McIntosh will be right at home, having played his college ball in Washington.What’s that? err... I guess that would have been SEATTLE, Washington.Anyway, Jo Jo McIntosh is 6’1” and 204 pounds.He played college football at the University of Washington, where he was a starter for the final three seasons. In his senior year, McIntosh made 56 tackles over 14 games, but he didn’t make any interceptions. He’s currently one of six safeties on the Redskins’ roster, and he’ll look to make the squad as a specialist.He has the kind of draft analysis you expect to read for an undrafted player. Here’s what Lance Zeirlien had to say:McIntosh’s profile from the Draft Network is pretty similar:These profiles aren’t surprising: this young man has skills, but wasn’t a strong draft prospect.The descriptions of his play (aside from those troubling comments about lack of agility) make him sound like a player who could possibly take to coaching and be a good candidate to develop into a depth player for the future, but I don’t think we’re likely to see him lining up on the first defensive play from scrimmage in Philadelphia in Week 1.Personally, I will be cheering for Jo Jo because of a distant and somewhat tenuous connection I learned about as I was researching his background.As most of you are aware, I live in South East Asia — in Thailand specifically.After 14 years of living here, I have a certain affinity for the region and its people.But nearly 40 years ago https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-terry-mclaurin-jersey , in 1981, I worked together with several people from my church to sponsor two Cambodian refugee families and help settle them in America.One family was a father and his two children (the mother had been murdered by Pol Pot’s soldiers while she was pregnant with a third child) and the other a young married couple whose first child was born in the U.S.We helped find homes and furniture for the families, helped them get jobs, taught them English and did a lot of socializing with them.The kid that was born in the U.S. is now a man in his late 30s.I see pictures of him often because his father is one of my facebook friends.What does all this have to do with Jo Jo McIntosh, you ask?Jo Jo’s grandparents came from Cambodia to the United States decades ago — at around the same time that I was involved with helping two Cambodian families get settled in the U.S.Cambodian’s suffered greatly under the dictator Pol Pot.Modern research has located 20,000 mass graves from the Khmer Rouge era all over Cambodia. Various studies have estimated the death toll at between 740,000 and 3,000,000—most commonly arriving at figures between 1.7 million and 2.2 million, with perhaps half of those deaths being due to executions, and the rest being attributable to starvation and disease.The sad story of Jo Jo’s grandparents is one that is echoed by hundreds of thousands — perhaps millions — of Cambodians who suffered in that era.The genocide that took place was one of the great tragedies of the 20th century.Knowing where his grandparents came from, I’m thrilled that Jo Jo has a life that offers him the opportunity to live in freedom and prosperity, and pursue his dream to play professional football.JoJo McIntosh wasn’t drafted, but the Redskins have a need at safety and they saw enough in JoJo’s college play to bring him to camp.So let’s not rely on my interpretation of second and third hand draft profiles to form an opinion.Hogs Haven has a broad membership; one of our readers is a film analyst who has volunteered to give his take on the Redskins UDFAs like JoJo McIntosh.James FitzGerald (@GMDfitz7765) is a former college player, high school coach, and an avid college football fan who has spent hours in the film room watching opponents and his own teams. His analytical skill adds depth to these profiles that I can’t supply on my own.Let’s see what he has to say.<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="LovEXI">Fitz’s film reviewFilm Watched: Washington v. Auburn, Utah, ASU (2017)JoJo McIntosh is a hard hitter, and he uses that hitting ability to knock the ball out of the receiver’s hands and make an impact in the gameHe is strong and is able to fight off blocks. He congests the second level so the ball carrier has fewer places to run. Also, Mcintosh closes in on the tackle after the reception well. He’s able to anticipate a reception and make the tackle before the receiver gets too many yards after the catch. However, JoJo tends to go for the big hit over the sure tackles; this over aggression causes him to miss some tackles, and the same over aggression also causes him to over pursue and run straight past ball carriers. Despite being a big hitter he is an inconsistent tackler. At times he tackles too high, doesn’t wrap, or puts his head down. He missed quite a few tackles because of poor fundamentals. I also do not think he is good enough at coverage to play free safety in the NFL. He is not very agile and he played very few reps in man coverage.How would he fit with the Redskins? JoJo McIntosh can make the team if he shows enough improvement in the offseason, but that is partly because the Redskins are missing depth at safety and nobody is really sure who will start in that positon right now.For that reason alone, JoJo McIntosh has a chance to make the roster. However, I do not think he possesses the coverage ability to play free safety at the NFL. He appears to be more of a special teams player and backup at the position.In my opinion, JoJo McIntosh will be cut during camp or the preseason, though because of the team needs at the position, he seems like a candidate for the practice squad. ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Coach Jay Gruden’s Washington Redskins have established a pattern: When they get a lead, they win; when they trail, they lose.The Redskins (5-3) are the only one of the NFL’s 32 teams that both has managed to avoid a single loss after holding a lead AND also has failed to come back to win a game after trailing.The first is good, of course. The latter could prove to be truly problematic as the season progresses if the offense overseen by Gruden and carried out by quarterback Alex Smith continues to be as ineffective as it’s been.“I don’t think we’re probably even aware” of Washington’s inability to erase a deficit this season, Smith said Wednesday, then added: “Certainly we’ve been in a lot of games that have been back-and-forth.”That last assertion is not accurate. Not at all.During each of the Redskins’ eight games this season, whichever team scored first not only won — it never fell behind. Not even once.In last week’s 38-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons Montez Sweat Jersey , Washington was down 14-0 early, cut that to 14-7, then never got closer.“It’s just a mindset really: You’re never out of it until the final gun. We’ve just got to keep playing. I don’t think guys played less hard because we got down. We just didn’t make enough plays to come back,” Gruden said. “That’s something we need to figure out: a way to put our players in position to, A, get the ball back when were on defense and, B, get the ball in the end zone at a decent rate on offense.”Heading into the NFC East leaders’ game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5) on Sunday, the Redskins are putting up a mere 20 points and 343.9 yards per game, which both rank 25th. No team below them in either of those two categories has a record above .500.The Bucs, in contrast, rank No. 7 in points at 28.6, and No. 2 in yards at 446.8.It’s the defense that’s been Tampa Bay’s downfall while losing five of its past six games — worst in the league in points, allowing an average of 34.4, and third-worst in passing yardage, at 307.1.An inability to mount a comeback is typically the mark of a bad club.Currently, the only teams other than Washington without an erase-a-deficit victory this season are the Detroit who are both 3-5.Over the previous four complete seasons, the only two teams to go an entire campaign without even one such win were the 2017 Cleveland Browns of 0-16 infamy and the 2017 New York Giants, who were 3-13.During Gruden’s 4½ years in charge of Washington, it owns 15 victories in games in which it trailed, which is just the 27th-best total in the NFL. The teams with fewer? The Browns (9), Jaguars (10), Giants (13), Chicago Bears (13) and Indianapolis Colts (14).“You can probably count on one hand how many comeback wins we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Gruden said, exaggerating a bit. “That’s something that we have got to do a better job of.”Notes: At the portion of Wednesday’s practice open to the media, two of the three offensive linemen signed off the street Monday lined up with the starting unit, with Jon Cooper at left guard and Austin Howard at right tackle. Morgan Moses, the regular RT, worked by himself on a separate field, wearing a big brace on the right knee he injured against Atlanta, although he could be ready to play instead of Howard by Sunday. … The other linemen were Ty Nsekhe at LT, Chase Roullier at C, Tony Bergstrom at RG.
