Looks like a White Christmas to chicago and back to detroit and toledo across most of ohio and into western pennsylvania theres a fairly significant storm system coming out ac across. Not much sun for us today. And then for Christmas Day i think mostly sunny. Good amounts of sunshine and winds will kick up. Tomorrow winds up to 30 miles an hour. 35 mile an hour wind gusts would not surprise me. It will be quite blustery out there. Starting in 20s and 30s and warm to the the upper 30s and owe low 40s tomorrow and will be cold and feel super cold out there. Lot of clouds for us today. Limbed amounts of sunshinep if we have much sunshine at all. Clouds extend back up to northwestern pennsylvania and then you can see this wlob of snow here. This is m coag cross. It looks significant. If you travel today remember going out towards chicago or detroit or st. Louis any parents through midwest may be delays as this patch of snow comes across and in some cases this could be some fairly significant snowfall. Maybe up to 6 to in spots as that comes across. Fruit fewer cast this morning notice a lot of cloud cover here. I doubt we see much if any sunshine okay and by late this afternoon and evening a few showers start creeping up little bit of snow back out to the north and west and as this continues to travel north its a little colder late this evening and maybe northern, western suburbs and a few snowflakes and certainly up to pennsylvania and back out to the west and a lot of snow here that could be as much as maybe 6 to 8 of snow at Higher Elevations back out west of us. And planner for today again if many sunshine not much. Thats not right. 60. Where did that come from thats yesterday. Deposit get start at 42 end 43, 1 00 temperatures 42 or so just so you know.

Gusty winds. And thanks for joining us. Stick with us redskins gametime is next. Merry christmas. Welcome to Christmas Eve edition of fox5. Its very festive here on the set. That was from last week. Im brody logan alongside ken harvey and grant paulson and Will Montgomery. We will start the way we always do. Keys dot game. Keys to the game. Brought to you by local kia dealers. Okay. So keys to this game taking on the broncos today. Not much want to do things you have to block vaughn miller. Hes the best player on broncos defense. Its a good defense. Outsideing in secondary with three quality corners. Probably best triumph aunt. You can keep the colleague chris harris. Even additional plague off the bench. Vaughn mill certificate guy. He he can beat you. And when they played big this season we had chances to win. If you looked last week redskins defense kind of dictated game until end and so its going to be a game of whoever, whichever defense plays the best whichever defense makes the least amount of mistakes. This is a guy vaughn mill senior a guy if you get him going it boosts moral of team. Von miller is hard to bl block. How do i know this i vokd him in practice during the the 2 2014 season and occasionally i would have to blo to one pass and i was wo wondering von youre de february sivr end and stay out there against taglees and centers and guards and hes elusive pass rusher and practices hard. Some of these elite players may take practice off. Every day in practice hes coming full tilt and practices the way he believes and hes a happened full to block. Hes a handful to block. One way to slow him down if you run the baltimore. Quantity over quality probably im over now expect dwalty. And you had lesean daniels no one heard of any way running back gets hurt at practice. Now now youre down to bibs. I have no High Expectations for the run game. You have to at least commit to being somewhat balancedied and getting zero or one and in effect pushes matches on 1st and 2nd down otherwise von miller pins ears back and tries to get to cousin. For the sake of us watching game and going on and becoming faster paced game theyre running ball and you need a running game we talk about it all the time well balanceded late in the season and try to talk about balance at the end of the day we can look and see what guys and what happens and thats what and i played against him many times and big long hair. Every his hair and tape and gloves at the end of the game not only look for running look out for pet cohair over offensive lineman gloves. If you have 4 k television and if youre getting broadcast look for those ha hairs. One thing the offense need to do get the ball out to the tightened and receivers and just try to get something down field toe stretch with this. Its kind of as you looked at the beginning of season that was kind of game plan. You get to tightened and receivers and if you had jordan reed and good guys you can make some things happen. But, right now, if the running game if you rely on running game get it out to tightened and receivers to take them and pressure off the grung game and you can balance it out and hopefully produce from it you. Need to get a big play in passing game and most weeks you will not be able to do that in screen game like you saw from bibs. That means involving dodd son vertically. Right now theyre lacking speed. Its a matchup. You get vernon davis or Jamison Crowder in the spot. Oneonone with linebacker and they can win in the scene and stretch the field for 25 sore 0 yards and cousins can drop into the bucket. This team right now is just rav us in for someone to make a big play topen things up. Part of the reason they cant run the ball is they cannot get anybody out of the box with plays down the field. No question and you mentioned you know db going to be tough with the screen game earlier like you mentioned on the screen last week against arizona you saw o line out front blocking and earlier in the season Chris Thompson leading way on screens, whatever do you it will be hard against provrping owes defense whether you run or pass. It will be hard to look this way and down the play and and it has a six pack. Good luck with gingerbread man. My daughter is hungry now by gingerbread men. We messed you all up this is chaos. I was going to bring something up about the game and my quick question. One, you can if you dont feel hell throw it you know you can get to the quarterback and know what as long as you know what you can do if theres milliseconds in between the play and if you have to think for a second, what do i have to do. I have to stop the run or do whatever that second even though it doesnt seem like a long time its a long time in football. If you dont have to think about that then focus on all your skills and techniques and you practice over and over again so its auto the matic that onens door to game bet of different techniques. And theyre facing pass rusher in von miller that can do all those things. Hes got it all. Weaver broken down the offense and coming up defensive side of the ball game time is back after this welcome back to redskins gametime. Im annie yu. Its time for the redskins trivia question. Brought brought to you by navy federal. Which team holds world for first most team all selections and most pro bowl selections let us know what you think post answer to fox Facebook Page and well answer the question later in the show. And as always brody youre going to be wrong. Whats. And peppermint patti mrs. Clause came at you with fire. And lets go to defensive side of the ball. Grant im going to go to you. Youre the most ridiculous looking person here. So you have to stop. The guy in the sweater investigate. You have to stop the run game if you want to stop this bronco offense. Brock will not play e game and will not be that good again. It means patchton lynch will take the rest of the team. And got benched by the cardinals after having hor he induce game in washington. This is similar game. If you make the run and you will hang in this game at worst and make scum plays on offense as well. It wept over 100 yards go wild and you will have a shot late in 4th quarter. And end of year both teams are going nowhere. But, still the basic its nice summary of the season ken. The basics is. There you stop the run. If you allow them to start a runin game gym it openings a passing game. Defense plays well and sometimes poorly and sometimes well for quarter or two quarters and object of game is to play well four quarters airport stop the run. No question denver pronk owes had lunching the ball and look out for Center Matt Paradis were not talking about the o line a whole lot. He was actually on the practice squad my year 2014 and i taught him all my tricks of the trade and how to hold properly and if hes holding defensive line this week and not getting cold its because i taught them ideal tricks. Cj anderson has a burst and hard to tack well one guy he also game on to the scene in 2014 wli came on in denver. And apder sop watch for those guys. Youre your own hype man. Gingerbread man samantha right here. Ginger man voice. Well put him on that later. You know we talked about getting this broncos defense and another thing do you if you stop the and out theyre back on the field longer and you can fire them out another things and you good get to brock get him to the ground. Theres been a couple times this season we talked about the pass rush being a detriment when you got the guy out of the pocket you get them better off schedule. Carson wentz or Aaron Rodgers is that way with athleticism. Brock osweiler is not. Like a giraffe. If you get to him and force him off the mark hes not the same passer. Paxton lynch who has athleticism one reason why he went high in draft is not comfortable making plays off schedule. He needs to be 2 and sunny and everything to go the the way they drew it up wednesday. Hes a kid quarter back with little experience. This is a week you rush the qb and get in face and hit him early i think thats it you have a pro bowler in ryan kerr i began and flashes of glory and if you get to quarterback early it it affects the whole team whether you like it or not. If you get in his head and start hitting early and starts making mistakes the whole team especially with two teams that are losing the whole team will start going down mentally and that way you can dictate a game. Definitely your point is correct and you have to get to them. Brock did play well last week and hes capable of scrambling and looking at the film closer to the redskins defensive line and we have the club off his hands and hes he creating pass rush and one recipient of rush was when i believe the second sack the quarterback was flush. Interior and pocket they have been creating some good pressure and also redskins mixing blitzes and tst crusty smith on the edges what do the bronco dozen in the pocket to change protection. He is not great when he gets flush he rap close to 2300 yards. Dont put the entire game plan on brock. Let him do what he can do. Hand the balloff. When you are he throwing the ball you have a couple good wide receiver out there in denver and emmanuel he has weapons out there and hes capable im looking at your christmas sweater and memorizing. Thats basically analysis which is true. Hes not great. Im asked to take us to break. Which players could mean a win for redskins. Well let you know. Grants will let you know actually.

This is part of the show where i give you my thoughts and players you need to watch. Players that can impact the game on each side of equation and stat of the day. Because im wearing ridiculous suit ill provide these as Santa Paulson today. What do i have for the bro broncos, ho, ho, ho, von miller, youre a good pass rubbery gave you speed and you didnt need it. How is santa perfect the br bronx. Von miller will have a good game. If your redskins to watch is kirk cousins. Last year i gave you 24 million. Ho, ho, ho and year before that i gave you 19 million and i didnt know how to xlit ho, ho, ho. Its a christmas miracle a White Christmas ho, ho, ho and saddle up to see why is he loading the sleigh. Kirk cousins could be playing final game of the day. I have nothing but ho, ho, ho, redskins only had one wide receiver clips 00 yards. It happened once. It was Jamison Crowder. Maybe you could do it again. Maybe for the first time. And somebody else other than vernon davis and police catch the football. And look ill try to get it back on the rails. Is it too late for a Christmas Present . This book is about the same price as 3 tickets to todays redskins game. Well talk about that coming up. What would you rather have, this book or a family the entire family can go to the game today. Ken harvey wrote a book i dont know if you saw that. Well talk about that. Welcome back to redskins gametime. Merry christmas. Redskins have not been most valuable use of your dollar. A couple wins over the giants and cardinals part of that and on top of that playing for nothing. So its not surprising that tickets this weekend are going for as low as 6. Yes. 6. To put that in perspective hot dog at the game cost 6 and beer is 9 and you could wind up paying ten times as much for parking as you would for ticket. This past weekend dan sign aboutberg of Washington Post traded snickers for 130 face value ticket for cred skins cardinals. Fan excitement is not pa paeinging soon. Regardless of who is in the stands the team wants to put on a good show coach grud insa the field in front of fans you want to perform well. And and that will be an issue really enter do i think that will be an issue. Earlier this week brody took to twitter to ask redskins fans what would they rather spend 6 on today. Ticket, foot long sub. Two gal obs of gas or toilet paper and if you look at screen you can see a 12 pack of toilet paper takes the prize. Way to go, brody. Solid question for the dmv. All right we dont want to end without mentioning our very own Will Montgomery yes last week the former hog was featured in the Washington Post d. C. Sports blog. Many of you saw it. Theres our stud.

And decent job of being an owner letting football people handle decisions. I feel good about this team. And the direction it is h heading. Theyll go out swinging with a win over denver. My first question would be is that a plant by the redskins organization. And that was very positive. Kirk threw up good stats and talked about injuries and all that and o line. And went on ir for left tackle and things out the rest of o line and in case somebodys shoe lace brakes. Guys go in not each dressed now first half of surprise. I think kirk has a everything whiching season. I think he played well for the most part and i dont know what do you think buffer isnt a . Bobby may be a loan in his same. Snir you have not heard a lot from snyder as compared to past chingt which is a good thing. He has done everything they him. Whats the year to prove he is not going to be as good as he thinks he is. And subpar team. And at least with all the injuries. Its a good thing xing i think i dont know if hell be the guy for this team. They have to make a xlitment and decide what they want to do and good from there. There will be a lot of suit ors out there for services. Thomas houser wrote not a skins fan at all. Thanks for commentsing but do i respect cousins skills. Broncos may be a good fit. I think he fits better with the chiefs. Thats interesting point here. Could kirk cousins be looking at future team and Denver Broncos clearly need a quarterback. Somebody is wearing a hat hating a lot right now. Its hard to think and talk about football right now. And i think wherever kirk wants to go he can go. He has agent so agent can talk about money issue and money side of things and you know all kirk can do is stay he healthy over the next few weeks. I wish him luck. And his wife open forum wants to welcome at whatever the best team he thinks will fit the skill set that will be good for him. Or team fit. And money can be the difference between two million and spent 30, 40 million. You get tax free states. And sack free states. That would be fantastic. Texas, florida, some of those ones. Tennessee no state taxes. John butler wrote they were a lot better team than record shows. They need games get ago way from them. Move ob to next year. Just finished strong. Theres a lot of positivety im surprised by that. And but is this something a lot of people might say some fans are in the crowd of tank we want a better draft pick start over. Theres others that say we get momentum going into next season. Isnt it true theres moments up one season to the next. I think you can carry momentum. This is point of season youre definitely out of. It youre starting to put guys in ir and starting to evaluate some of those other guys. Hopefully not at expense of starting quarterback who is free agent next year and you think earlier in the season obviously redskins had good games offensively and defensively games. They only put together offense and defense in the same game. I feel like oakland game was complete package. And it will be hard for the redskins. The problem is not the players but meant tallty and mindset of team. You have to look at this team and say what is our identity. We have spakz of it this plays well and times when offense plays well and theres so many outside factors that cope pushing it down that it will be hard for them to take that to next year and make a couple changes. And this team is not the total package and they need to work to that. Total package is annie yu and guy lambert. We always know when youre about to set up. I can hear you whispering. I satisfied to guy here it comes, here it comes, thank you, solid as always brody. Just like your outfit. Well start around the league this morning with president of Baltimore Ravens who has interesting taking whoon he thinks Fan Attendance is down. And you would think all eyes would be on the field and not necessarily all eyes happen to be on the fans in the stands or shall i say lack there of autopsyy. This after the president of bawlt more ravens wrote a letter and september it to this week. At issue hes saying ravens attendance is dunn this year. We have a lot of no shows. He then went to blame the protests from the number of players actually taking a knee during singing of national anthem. Ravens did that one time while playing in london back in september. Now, controversy here is that nfl front office is saying hold up wait a minute protests have not affected attendance at all and if you look at actual numbers you will all have the same amount of attendance you did last year. A lot of folks are saying the president of Baltimore Ravens happens to be using that as a scapegoat well wait and see. Raidersp u running back Marshawn Lynch weighing up with thinner pockets if you hoped to get a present from Marshawn Lynch i dont know why. You probably still g co could. Hes waking up with light pockets because he was fined for this incidents that took place last week as they took on the dallas cowboys. Lynch fumbled ball in end zone ruled touch back he had to be restrained. They find him 2 had for yelling at a ref. Thats 1,000 a day since december. Thats about the worm of my car. To put it in perspective in my world. More than my car you have a good car. Carolina panthers going up for sale end of year and theres one name consistently coming up here as potential buyer. Everybody has been talking about this. We spoke about it last were. P. Diddy wanted in. So did steph curry that name keeps come bag up. Apparently steph has been speaking to family and friends and lot of teammates on the Golden State Warriors saying guys im really serious about this and if youre wondering steph signed a contract worth 200 million last year and he has part ownership in under armour and he has a lot of loose change laying around. Carolina panthers worth more than 2 billion dollars. Kevin durant said i want in too. Im a skins fans as long as i can wear my skids jerz write on the sidelines.

Eeingings. I will also go with eagles. You know, nick foles, come on. Yes, still going with eagles, nick foles in winningff way. You could have brought it along. Byo. And next game, seahawks cue boys, 4 25 kickoff this is playoff Elimination Game for both these teams fighting to get the last spot in wildcard. Ill go do you boys i like they can still run the ball well. Elliot is back. He is back, good point, seattle they dont run the ball at all. I dont like the way theyre plague. Im going cowboys. I go with cowboys too ezekiel will be a boost for moweral. Seahawks were embarrassed by rams. That fuels them to get a win and theyll ends surprise for cowboys give me seahawks. To the next game giants cardinals. Barn burner, youll tune into this 4 25 kickoff. Ken who do you have. Giants. Finish up w yes. Ill go with cardinals. I would figure we would stop is selecting this game five weeks ago ill go with cardinals. I will too. Speaking of teams that maybe have not quit. Broncos redskins right here fox5, 1 p. M. Kickoff from fedex field. When . Where . Kickoff at fedex field 00. Gil with the redskins. Or go alone for 6. I think this will be a competitive game. Two teams both out of it. You know, ive played for both teams. I snapped both quarterbacks looking at bronkz owes last week they rushed for couple yards and had great defense i like that style of offensive game plan. Since i played with bovrping owes last i will pick the broncos. Okay. Ill say if you look at redskins season pretty much the games they win is against ba they win or lose are better than average. Brock be os whileer they call him the hight because of how much money they can get in his career. I thought the hight was plug on his book he was doing. That is a bit of hight. Give me redskins. You played with everybody and so youre a fresh, young face you understand whats going on now. Thats why youre in the lead with the picks. Whose hants are getter. As center. Brock at 6 9 has large hands ill leave it at that. You all giving looks. Im curious inside info. Weve got something for y you. Yeah. Hey, we have free time. Okay. Since its Christmas Eve moist of us are anticipating opening presents tomorrow. And im present magical santa. If he can give everything anything for the redskins to improve 2018 what would you put under the redskins tree. Kim you besides your book for a nice Stocking Stuffer ill say move the stadium to george town water front within awk walking distance of down up to. Catch a game and maybe nice cocktails afterwards. I think for santa with this team is well for them to believe in themselves or maybe not even believe in themselves but for them to realize full potential i think the team had theres a good team here but its digging and str struggling to get out and so i think they can realize the full potential and that would be a great thing. Ill go with a group present. I want jordan reed, frank williams, Chris Thompson. Injuries this team has had we dont get a chance to see what they can be with kirk cuz inlz and know what hell be next year. If you change the injury luck this team maybe the entire season changes. Maybe its over and over again. Youre such a talents. I would love for you to go a whole season. O line, d line, secondary. Line backers. Game of football though. And how much does that play too into it. Ken and i had our fair share of injuries. In the back my dislocated ankle and wrist and shoulder. Would you ask kirk cousins for long Term Extension keeping them there going forward. Go ahead ken. An that de privz the whole team of any win. We say it all the times we look at stats with top five and yards and Everything Else the guy is leader and he studies and he has all intangibles and youre not going to find the kid to leave your team and find somebody that is sitting on the the bench right now to lead your team. Kirk is the guy and its whether or not they want to pay or not. Well go outside the box here. Because its santa he can sgivr you anything. If there was one player from any other team in nfl you would have santa put under the tree that could help red skips game what player would you want. Interesting we were talking about von miller all day. Why not add von why not just add kerrigan and von and book ends. Talking about right now. Yes. That will be good. I am good with it. Thats easy. Would go with say todd girly the way he looked. This team had ace number one. And how about 1992 ken harvey. That will be pretty good right . Yes. You think about it. You know how some teams regardless of players that come in its the system that makes the players good. And if they dont fit into the system theyre out of here and i think even if you sometimes would bring some of these great players you think about into this team if they still have not developed the system that player would drop down to the level of the team. As opposed to rising up. Maybe you would say you ask santa for entirely new front office. No because i like my job. Its not about the jimmys and joes and xs and os or other way around. Companies sometimes you have to tie real evaluation and move outside of the box and outside consultants come in and evaluate the team and even though the front office. Evaluate tight sweaters they wear. See he what you can do and what weaknesses and strengths are. Maybe not wholesale change but reevaluate. This is fictional book. I dont throw it out.
