Three Redskins to watch in Sunday's game at Tampa Bay:
1. LT Jordan Black. With Trent Williams questionable with a knee injury -- he still looked hobbled late in the week -- Black is the next man up. He was OK at times in replacing Williams a week ago, but also allowed a sack and some pressure. The Redskins already are weak at RT with Tyler Polumbus. This could impact the stretch zone running game.
2. CB DeAngelo Hall. He’s the Redskins’ tallest corner at 6-foot and likely will cover 6-5 Vincent Jackson quite a bit. Hall is at his best when he can read the QB and make plays, but press man is not a strength.
3. QB Robert Griffin III. The Bucs shut down Carolina’s Cam Newton and the zone read scheme in the season opener. The Panthers did get two big plays in the passing game out of these fakes, but that had more to do with good protection than anything. Griffin will need to develop as a pocket passer or they’ll be forced to continue using his legs too much.
