4. Greg Stroman notches an interception and 2 passes defended

Stroman has impressed the Redskins so far this offseason, and it only stands to reason that he should continue to do so against a weaker performance.

Part of the contingent that made Orlando Scandrick expendable in D.C., Stroman seems primed to serve as either the top backup for the Skins or an inside/outside hybrid guy who can come off the bench. Thanks to his ability as a punt returner, he will certainly have a chance to make an impact early on, like he did against the Patriots.

I pointed out that Stroman had a strong first preseason game with the Redskins in a recent article, and said the following of his performance in that contest.

More from Riggo's Rag

"In the team’s first preseason game, Stroman was one of the better performers on the second string. He did a lot to lock down the Patriots receivers when on the field, and that definitely frustrated Brian Hoyer and the offense. Stroman generally ran step for step with the receivers on the outside, and since he also has slot ability, there’s a good chance that he could turn into a versatile, top backup."

Stroman is going to continue to work hard, as his roster spot isn’t safe yet. That said, there is a strong chance that he will make the final roster and serve as a key playmaker. But, it would certainly help his cause to continue to make some plays at corner.

If Stroman can grab an interception and total two pass defenses/breakups, then he will virtually seal his spot as a member of the Redskins secondary. That’s certainly a bold prediction, but it could end up happening, especially if Stroman receives an extended run during the contest.
