When the Washington Redskins head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals Thursday night, the ‘Skins will travel farther than any other preseason team this year. In fact, this will be the longest road trip for the Redskins all season long. “Why couldn’t they come here?” asked guard Derrick Dockery. Head coach Mike Shanahan added, [...]
The New York Jets and Washington Redskins have gotten as much press as any other NFL teams leading up to the regular season. Between HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ and Darrelle Revis’ contract issues, Jets head coach Rex Ryan and company have built on the publicity that began with last year’s postseason march to the AFC title [...]
The Washington Redskins (1-1) will be without starting quarterback Donovan McNabb due to a sprained ankle when they visit the New York Jets (1-1) meet on Friday. Instead, veteran backup QB Rex Grossman gets the nod against Jets head coach Rex Ryan’s defense sans All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis for another week. New York is favored [...]
It is easy to get excited about new QB Donovan McNabb if you are a Washington Redskins fan, but the bigger move by the team in the offseason was bringing in head coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen to restructure the organization from the bottom up.

1. The more I think about it, the more I become convinced that Lane Kiffin is the worst hire a major contender has made in, well maybe ever. He’s proven nothing as a coach, he has absolutely no loyalty or staying power, and recruits won’t trust him as far as they can throw him after [...]
1. I don’t think that we should read too much into how the Saints won today. It wasn’t pretty, and it probably shouldn’t have happened, but there was a lot to take from that. First, Washington was the best passing defense in the league coming into the game but the Saints managed 419 passing yards [...]
Yesterday I touched on how uneven and uninspiring so many teams have been in the NFL has been this year.
