In case you didn't already know not to push women in the face, take a lesson from Larry Johnson! Seriously, this is the 3rd time similar allegations have been made. Maybe you can stay away from the clubs so you can, I don't know, do the job you're paid to do?

Welcome Aboard, Colt!

2008-07-23T14:18:00.002-04:00

Good player, good guy. He was signing tons of autographs at camp today, probably creating lots of future little fans. Here's the story about his signing with the Redskins:

Honey, I'm heading to church again, so don't wait up...

2008-02-21T13:33:00.002-05:00

Well, this is one way to increase tithes... tell the guys that their church donations will result in a bigger screen for their SuperBowl experience!

It's finally that time again...

2007-07-26T14:43:00.000-04:00

Washington Redskins training camp starts on Friday!!! If you live in the area, head over here to see how you can catch them on the field.

Broughton down with Knee Injury

2007-05-10T19:14:00.000-04:00

Nehemiah Broughton suffered an injury to a knee ligament during practice this week. He will most likely be placed on injured reserve. He has spent two years with the Redskins, but has not spent much time on the field.

Cheer for a cheerleader

2007-04-10T13:07:00.000-04:00

The Redskins Cheerleaders will be putting on their Final Auditions show this coming Sunday at 3pm at Arlington Cinema Drafthouse. It's sure to be an event you won't want to miss. So come switch roles and cheer on your favorite finalist - and wipe that drool off your chin.

What can money buy

2007-03-09T15:51:00.000-05:00

Well if your middle linebacker London Fletcher-Baker, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder would swing you a $10.5 million signing bonus to go along with that five-year, $25 million contract. I am sure if the Super Bowl trophy was up for auction Snyder would be bidding. Let's hope Snyder is more interested in buying talent than headlines.

2007-01-17T14:28:00.000-05:00

Pierson Prioleau "definitely ready to play next season." His 2006 season ended when he tore the ACL in his right knee during the opening kickoff of the first game.

2006-12-15T17:26:00.000-05:00

The Redskins dominated the Eagles in almost every statistical category--including first downs (20-14), total yards (415-263), rushing yards (210-99) and time of possession (37:46-22:14)--except the scoreboard. Chalk it up to inexperience of Jason Campbell, who threw two costly interceptions that allowed the Eagles to build a 21-3 lead. Campbell, Ladell Betts and the Redskins showed resilience in scoring 16 unanswered points.

The New Orleans Saints were a powerhouse in defeating the Dallas Cowboys 42-17 at Texas Stadium on Sunday night. The Redskins will have their hands full with the NFL's top-ranked offense, which includes quarterback Drew Brees and running backs Deuce McAllister and Reggie Bush.

Redskins vs Saints is happening 12/17... don't miss it!!

Broken Promises

2006-12-08T16:43:00.000-05:00

In Sunday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers, the Washington Redskins lost 24-14 thanks to bad coaching. Last week coach Gibb’s had promised that he was going to play more “Redskins football.” So what happened? Where was this “Redskin football?” Apparently Gibbs had no intention of upholding his promise.

Instead of rushing for 155 yards, Ladell Betts should have been given enough carries to rush for 300 yards. And if he grew tired, they should have given the ball to T.J. Duckett 20 times. A two-touchdown lead and a kid quarterback making his third start demanded it. But the Redskins went ahead with their absolutely nonsensical approach and lost.

Can They Make the Playoffs?

2006-12-01T17:00:00.000-05:00

With only 5 games left until playoffs the Washington Redskins need to get their collective butts in gear and start winning. With the current standing of 4W-7L, there is still a possibility that they can make it if they win all of their remaining games.

But is this really a possibility or a stretch of the imagination?

The Redskins next game is against the Atlanta Falcons, who have been on a losing streak for the past 4 games. So, there is a strong possibility of victory for the Redskins if the Falcons keep sucking. Later, the Reds go up against the St. Louis Rams, who just came off of a 5 games losing streak, and the New York Giants who have lost the 3 previous games. There’s a strong chance that the Reds will win those 3 games, but that’s not good enough to put them into the playoffs.

Now, the real challenge will be defeating the Philadelphia Eagles and the New Orleans Saints. The Eagles have lost the 2 past games, but I’m sure no one has forgotten about how the Eagles slaughtered (3-27) the Reds back on November 12. Now, New Orleans will be the highest ranked team that the Reds will play before the playoffs. The Saints started off the season incredibly strong and have stayed fairly consistent with no real streaks since then.

So, the Redskins going the playoffs might be a stretch but they still have a chance.

Washington Can’t Blame Jason Campbell

2006-11-20T10:06:00.000-05:00

As NFL quarterbacking debuts go, 196 yards and a couple of TDs, without turnovers – that’s nothing for Jason Campbell to hang his head over. But the Redskins couldn’t keep a lid on the Tampa Bay Bucs in the second half. Maybe the biggest problem was Cadillac Williams, who happens to be a former teammate of Jason’s – they played NCAA football together at Auburn. Williams rushed for 122 yards and caught two passes for 34 yards against us.

We didn’t have Clinton Portis, and we’re not going to have him, so the Redskins need to step in a give Campbell the support he needs. We can do it.

Redskins will give Jason Campbell a shot

2006-11-15T15:50:00.000-05:00

This has not been Mark Brunell's year, despite some early high points (vs. the Houston Texans and the Jacksonville Jaguars). Sunday's sorry 27-3 loss to our NFC East rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles, turned out to be the last straw.

Will a 3rd-string quarterback in his second year in the NFL be what the 'Skins are looking for? It's not impossible. Let's hope Campbell works out something like Tony Romo has for the Dallas Cowboys: not always victorious to be sure, but better than most fans would have bet.

Will ‘Skins Be Ready for Cowboys?

2006-11-02T17:17:00.000-05:00

Traditionally, all you have to do is say “Dallas Cowboys” in Washington and whether the listener is a fan or a player, you’ll get a fearsome growl. Or something equivalent. However, our encounter with Da Boys back in September did not go well, and it helped set the tone for a season that just hasn’t jelled yet.

The thing that’s worrisome, though, is that the Cowboys, who also seemed to be floundering along, looked a lot different against Carolina, a game Dallas won 35-14. Has the switch from Drew Bledsoe to Tony Romo at quarterback made that much of a difference?

Our quarterback’s assessment? Well, Mark Brunell said, “We’re 2-5, regardless of who it is and where it is, we need to win.”

If Only Redskins Could Have Quit at the Half

2006-10-25T19:28:00.000-04:00

We were leading at the half, even if it was only by a point. And the Indianapolis Colts’ Payton Manning had been taking a beating, even had to call a timeout and get a sideline rubdown.

Evidently all that did was get him fired up. Manning came flying out in the third quarter and got 3 TDs in a row. When all was said and done, the score was 36-22, and the Colts’ perfect season was still intact.

Washington’s bye week couldn’t come soon enough!

DONT CALL IT A COME BACK

2006-10-11T14:36:00.000-04:00

Nick Novak returns to the team that gave him his first chance. The former Maryland standout made his NFL debut with the Redskins on Sept. 19, 2005, against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He ended up kicking a game-winning PAT to defeat the Cowboys 14-13 at Texas Stadium, and he also had a touchdown-saving tackle on a kickoff return in that game.

Santana Moss stays humble as the praises keep coming

2006-10-05T10:26:00.000-04:00

On Wednesday, Moss was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for his three touchdown performance in last Sunday's 36-30 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Santana caught four passes for 138 yards, and the third of his three touchdowns was a 68-yard game-winning touchdown catch in overtime!!

Nothing beats an overtime game.

2006-10-03T01:52:00.000-04:00

Even many locals were grudgingly conceding defeat before the game, as Jacksonville deserves and has a lot of local respect.

Even after blowing two late-game leads, the Skins dug deep and Brunell showed Jacksonville exactly how much they lost.

The barrel has been scraped…

2006-07-10T13:53:00.000-04:00

As a long-time Washington Redskin I’m surprised to find myself in agreement with our coach over the necessity to displace players who have done so well for us this last season. It takes time and effort to change a talented rookie into the kind of player that can handle the responsibility of organizing players as well as performing their own specific role.

A change of nickname before a change of lineup, perhaps?

Redskins' Momentum

2006-06-22T17:28:00.000-04:00

Remember the five-game streak at the end of 2005 that carried the Redskins into the playoffs? I think Washington has made some additions that can help keep the momentum going. It was fun to watch Mark Brunnell connect with Santana Moss, but this coming year our QB will have Antwaan Randle El from the Steelers, Brandon Lloyd from San Francisco and Christian Fauria of the New England Patriots added to the mix.

Brunnell is no spring-chicken, although maybe that means he is at least mature enough not to ride a motorcycle without a helmet. But in the event he has problems, we now have Todd Collins as well as Jason Campbell to turn to.

Former Washington Redskin Sells Cocaine to Undercover Cops

2006-05-28T15:28:00.000-04:00

All around the NFL lately there are players in the news for breaking the law. I am sickened every time I look at the stories on ESPN and other sites. Timmy Smith, former NFL running back, has been sentenced to federal prison for conspiracy to distribute cocaine. What a role model for future generations of youth in America. Why is all the money and fame never enough.

How could we not need anything in the draft?

2006-04-24T19:40:00.000-04:00

The Washington Redskins get first pick in the second round of the draft, but Joe Gibbs claims he is happy with our team as it is now and says he has no intentions of bringing in a rookie at any position. I am sure we will be using our pick but wonder whom we will chose with Gibbs words in mind. Supposedly we will just choose the “best athlete”. What do you think about that?

Here’s the story…http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=

Can you at least try to be a role modal?

2006-04-05T00:49:00.000-04:00

Sean Taylor of the Washington Redskins is going on trial for the assault charges that were brought against him last year. If you remember the safety was involved in the armed assault on a group of people he was arguing with. Taylor is the king of late hits and rule breaking, so it is no surprise that he is now facing jail time for violent acts outside the NFL. Money and fame are not compensation enough for some players to uphold the positive image of the NFL and athletes everywhere.

What? I’m just looking!

2006-03-12T23:11:00.000-05:00

The Washington Redskins Cheerleader tryouts are coming up soon. On the official site I found out that as a Redskins Cheerleader you will travel to exotic locales to shoot the annual calendar. I had always figured they used back drops. I think I will pick up a copy of this year’s calendar. (to support the Cheerleaders of course)

Please don’t scare me like that!

2006-02-03T23:31:00.000-05:00

There have been some wild rumors flying around about the Washington Redskins being interested in picking up Terrell Owens. The Skins’ VP has said they recognize his extraordinary skill as a player but have no interest in adding him to their roster anytime in the near future. When I read that I breathed a sigh of relief.

Trouble with the Law

2005-06-08T13:52:00.000-04:00

The hard hitting Sean Taylor is moving to a different beat for now. He gets to play the whole season with out interference from the court. Although he does have an arrangement to on the 25th of this month but more than likely the trail won’t be held till next winter. Taylor’s agent reported that he will show up to training camp and will be at the team facilities this coming Tuesday.

'Redskins Generation': Auditions Coming Soon!

Kids ages 12-14 can be a part of a new in-season weekly show, "Redskins Generation." Auditions are June 4-5.

Don Warren

2005-05-29T15:52:00.000-04:00

Don Warren has returned to the Redskins organization to help with Pro scouting. Warren, who is a legend to the Redskins franchise, will be evaluating different aspects of both internal and external degrees. He will be reviewing pro personnel and NFL Europe, etc.

Warren was a Redskins tight end from 1979-1992, where he assisted in making three Redskins Super Bowl Championships. During his last 13 years, Warren has been coaching high school ball in an effort to be able to coach his own kids but still be close to the game he loves. Now, he returns to the team he loves to help build them up.

It's Official: Redskins Sign DB Hall

2005-05-24T18:42:00.000-04:00

- from the official site of the Washington Redskins

The Redskins have signed veteran defensive back Cory Hall, according to Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato. Hall, formerly with the Falcons, will add "more depth and more competition," Cerrato said. The team also released defensive back Roosevelt Williams.

From Chicago to Washington

2005-05-19T16:33:00.000-04:00

The Washington Redskins have been putting together a line that resembles something of a line from before; that line was the Bears 2001 defensive line. After acquiring Cornerback Walt Harris and defensive end Phillip Daniels (both starters on the Bears during 2001), the Redskins have now snagged Warrick Holdman.

The 6-1, 235-pound linebacker has been with the Cleveland the last few years but was originally part of the Bears. Greg Blache, who was originally defensive coordinator in Chicago, is currently defensive coordinator in Washington.

HONING THEIR GAMES:

2005-05-15T18:35:00.000-04:00

- from FOXSports.com

Patrick Ramsey needs to have a Drew Brees-like season if he wants to remain in the plans for another year. But he must first overcome some problems. He needs to make quicker decisions. He needs to overcome his tendency to try to make a play instead of throwing the ball away and letting the defense go to work. The team is experimenting with the shotgun formation, which should benefit Ramsey in a number of ways. It will give him a better view of the defense and a better chance to detect any pre-snap movements. He will have a better chance to sense inside blitzes on long-yardage passing downs and give him more time to react to and elude them. He will be in passing position immediately upon taking the snap, which gives him a better chance to make quick reads and hit breakoff receivers in case of blitzes off the edge.

Possible Middle

2005-05-12T19:41:00.000-04:00

Lemar Marshall originally came to the Redskins through Michigan State. Marshall has been accustomed to playing outside linebacker for the Skins and has done so for the past three years. This may not be the case anymore.

According to the Redskins website, they have been testing out the option of Marshall shifting to middle linebacker due to the recent losses the team has suffered in this position.

"I used to be a safety and I had to make a lot of calls on defense and getting everybody situated in the defensive backfield. But it's different because at middle linebacker you have to be aware of everybody else, including DBs and the D-line. That's the only difference. You have more people you have to communicate with."
- Lemar Marshall

MINICAMP MAYHEM:

2005-05-10T17:16:00.000-04:00

- from FOXSports.com

Although it's a long way from tryout player to regular-season contributor, Charles Howard, a defensive end from Florida State, has taken the first step in the journey. Howard showed excellent quickness and good speed in the rookie minicamp. He came in as a tryout player and walked out with a free-agent contract. Howard's effectiveness will be tested when he faces real NFL players. But he might have enough quickness off the edge to merit a long look in training camp. . . .

Jason Campbell also is a long way from earning a starting job, but he at least performed well enough to provide some justification for his selection at No. 25 overall. The former Auburn quarterback had good pocket presence and showed an ability to zip medium-range passes to receivers. He did a good job of understanding pass patterns, finding open receivers in traffic and delivering the ball where the receiver was supposed to be. He impressed the coaching staff with his patience. When something went wrong, he refused to blame the less talented tryout players and took the blame himself.

LaVar Arrington

2005-05-06T16:58:00.000-04:00

LaVar Arrington is set to return in full health in this upcoming season. Arrington was put out for 12 games last season on account of a faulty knee. He had two surgeries on that knee and after some time of rehabilitation appears to be healthy and ready to go. The Redskins were one of the leaders in defense last season holding the #3 spot. With a ready Arrington, we have the possibility of rebuffing our defense and possibly further improvement.

HARD TRUTH :

2005-05-02T15:52:00.000-04:00

- from FOXSports.com

Sean Taylor is perhaps the most physically gifted member of the defense. He can patrol the deep middle, cover man-to-man when necessary and is a force in run support. But unless Taylor matures and prepares mentally for the job, which includes participation in the offseason program, the time will come when no matter how great his physical gifts, he will come up short in his performance. His off-the-field problems last year, combined now with his apparent interest in renegotiating the contract he signed last season, are not good signs for a long, happy future in Washington.

Ninth Pick

2005-04-26T18:43:00.000-04:00

After losing a couple of possible choices for the ninth pick, Joe Gibbs decided on Carlos Rogers to fill a corner that needed it bad. Rogers comes from Auburn University. This is the second straight season that Gibbs has used the first round pick on a defensive back.

"I think he is a combination of a shutdown corner and a very physical guy. I think he fits in good with us. It's going to be exciting to have him on the football team."
- Joe Gibbs

Joe Gibbs on Draft

2005-04-19T17:31:00.000-04:00

Recently in a press conference, Head coach Joe Gibbs stated his intentions for the Redskins with the upcoming draft. The Redskins currently have the ninth draft pick in the first round. There will be a media session upcoming between the tops in the organization to discuss further plans.

"Right now we've had no discussions with anyone about trading away the ninth pick (in Saturday's NFL draft). Are we considering any options we are presented with? Yes, we'll consider anything, but no one has presented a compelling scenario."
- Coach Joe Gibbs

DRAFT WHISPERS:

2005-04-14T14:55:00.000-04:00

- from FOXSports.com

If the team can get a mid- to late-round pick for WR Rod Gardner, it likely will trade him. The club lacks a second-round pick, and if it could move down in the first round and pick up a second-round selection, it might make that deal. But a third- or fourth-round pick might be the best it could get in return. Coach Joe Gibbs' frustration with the offense shouldn't be underestimated. He might add a front-line wide receiver to compete with David Patten for the starting job.

Wide Receiver Prospects

2005-04-10T17:48:00.000-04:00

Chris Henry, 6-5 and 190 pounds, West Virginia
Craphonso Thorpe, 6-0 and 189 pounds, Florida State
Reggie Brown, 6-1 and 194 pounds, Georgia
Steve Savoy, 5-10 and 191 pounds, Utah
Roscoe Parrish, 5-8 and 176 pounds, Miami (Fla.)

Patrick Ramsey

2005-04-05T20:24:00.000-04:00

Coming onto his fourth consecutive year with the Cincinnati Bengals, Patrick Ramsey is looking forward to the coming season. Ramsey, who has started in all four years, has to focus on some offseason training.

With optional training open March 21st, Ramsey is looking at preparing himself properly before the season.

“My mindset right now is to just continue to improve. Last year, there was improvement during the course of the season, but I want to begin that process now. That'll put me at an accelerated level when I start the season. Obviously, you're going to learn something in every game you play. I want to be the guy who leads us to great things and turns this thing around. I want to be a part of the success and I want to be out there on the field when it happens.”
- Paul Ramsey

DRAFT BUZZ:

2005-03-31T15:09:00.000-05:00

- from FOXSports.com

With their receiving needs addressed through free agency, the team now is free to focus on shoring up the areas of defense that were damaged in the free-agent market. The team is more likely to look at cornerbacks and defensive ends for the ninth pick in the first round. Adam Jones from West Virginia and Antrel Rolle from Miami both should be available. If the team decides to improve its pass rush, a good candidate will be DE Erasmus James from Wisconsin. One other possibility exists. The team does not have a second-round choice, having traded it last year in order to draft Chris Cooley in the third round. If the team can trade down, still get a capable defensive player in the first round and pick up a second-round choice, that might be too good a deal to pass.

Preseason Schedule

HARD TRUTH:

2005-03-13T15:25:00.000-05:00

- from FOXSports.com

When asked about coaching the modern NFL player, one of Joe Gibbs' standard lines is that human nature doesn't change, that today's players want the same things as the players he coached from 1981-1992. But with the Laveranues Coles incident and the case LaVar Arrington has pending against the team over a disputed bonus payment, Gibbs needs to acknowledge the hard truth that today's players are different in some fundamental ways than the players he coached earlier in his career. Gibbs constantly stresses "team first, individuals second." But in Coles he has seen an excellent example of "me first, team second." Gibbs knows it takes outstanding players to win, and now he knows there is a very high price, and it is not completely a financial price, that comes with some of today's outstanding players.

Moss for Coles

2005-03-06T20:05:00.000-05:00

The Redskins and New York Jets have completed discussions on another intense trade. This time it is involving two receivers: Santana Moss from the New York Jets and Laveranues Coles from the Washington Redskins.

Moss, who is a five-year veteran of the game, has caught 151 passes for a total of 2,416 yard and 19 touchdowns. Last season, Moss didn’t rack up as much stats as during the 2003 season. This was due to a hamstring injury that held him back from producing.

Coles has been an extreme force for the Redskins, which made the trade on their part seem kind of odd. He has racked up the third-most receptions in Redskins history. Art Monk is the only one to beat him out on these stats.

It is a very ironic trade on account that Coles was traded to the Redskins before the 2003 season, only to be traded back now. But, the Redskins have made room for Moss and want him on their line.

General Updates

2005-02-24T17:13:00.000-05:00

Lemar Marshall, outside linebacker, will stay with the Redskins. He was re-signed February 17th after producing a great season. Along with Marshall, running back John Simon will be returning after spending 2004 on the injured reserve list.

The Redskins also gave up quite a few players. Most major in my opinion was dropping Vonnie Holiday. He’s an extremely good player, but expensive as well. Letting go of him will leave some salary cap space. Jermaine Haley was also released along with Vaughn Parker.

Brian Mitchell Retiring and Returning

2005-02-13T16:44:00.000-05:00

Brian Mitchell, after a 14-year legendary career in the NFL, will be going into retirement. Mitchell, 37, began his career with the Washington Redskins in 1990. After a 10 year span in Washington, he moved to the Philadelphia Eagles for three seasons and the New York Giants in 2003.

Mitchell, specializing mainly in punt and kickoff return, was an extremely versatile player, being able to move to running back, wide receiver, and even quarterback. He actually began his career as a quarterback for Southwestern Louisiana where he threw for over 5,000 yards and ran for over 3,000.

Mitchell will sign a one-day contract with the Redskins to be able to retire from the franchise.

Some of his records include:

• Second all-time in all-purpose yards with 23,330
• Kickoff Return Yards: 14,014
• Punt Return Yards: 4,999
• A member of the 1991 Super Bowl championship Redskins team

4 players signed

2005-01-30T16:13:00.000-05:00

From nfl.com:

The Redskins have signed four players to the team's offseason roster, including two who were with the team for parts of last season.

Offensive lineman Ben Nowland, offensive lineman-tight end Dan Goodspeed, defensive back Roosevelt Williams and linebacker Joe Tuipala were officially added to the roster this week.

Tuipala is a three-year NFL vet who has had stints with the Detroit Lions and Jacksonville Jaguars. He was a special teams standout for Jacksonville in 2001-02, leading the team in tackles both seasons. He also saw limited duty at linebacker for the Jaguars, recording 17 career tackles (8 solo). Tuipala hails from Honolulu, Hawaii and played collegiate football at San Diego State.

It is expected that the Redskins will assign Tuipala to NFL Europe this spring.

Williams is a 2-year NFL vet who has previously played for the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns. He was originally a third-round selection by the Bears in the 2002 NFL Draft and as a rookie started two games at cornerback, playing in 11 overall and recording seven tackles. Williams moved on to Cleveland the following season and started three games at cornerback, playing in 14 overall and logging 13 tackles. He attended college at Tuskegee Institute.

Goodspeed was briefly on the Redskins' 53-man roster in December, but did not play in a game. The 6-6, 300-pounder is a two-year NFL veteran who spent 2004 training camp with the Miami Dolphins but was released prior to the start of the regular season. During his career, Goodspeed also spent time with Tampa Bay and the New York Jets after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Kent State by the San Francisco 49ers in 2000.

Nowland, who spent most of last season on the Redskins' practice squad, recently completed his second year in the NFL. He has mostly played center in his football career, including starting 33 consecutive games at Auburn.

Nowland is expected to be allocated to NFL Europe this spring. Last year, he was assigned by the Redskins to play for the NFL Europe's Frankfurt Galaxy. He helped lead Frankfurt to an appearance in the World Bowl.

I guess we need to keep a close eye on NFL Europe, and look out for a couple of those guys. Lets hope they turn out alright and injury free in NFL Europe, so they can come back and play here. GO REDSKINS!

Silly Penalties

2005-01-24T10:04:00.000-05:00

Something of importance that the Redskins need to improve on next season would be to stop the number of penalties. A good portion was by the talented LG Derrick Dockery. Dockery was tagged with false start penalties in just about every game and C Cory Raymer would help the cause if would watch his hands and hold less. On the defensive side of the ball there is the young, hard hitting Sean Taylor who plays with a lot of intensity but would better his defense if avoid the personal fouls.

In the end the Redskins gave up 1,047 yards in penalties by the end of the season. How can you win a football game with that many mental mistakes. You can't, but these kinks can be easily work out of the system in the off-season.

Season Finale

"It was a fun season in respect to this defense being an overachieving defense," assistant head coach-defense Gregg Williams said. "The thing we did well was that we didn't have any superstars. We don't coach superstars, we coach players. We coach teams, and our guys bought into that."

It's true, the upside to the whole 6-10 season, was that the Redskins defense stood there ground remaining in the top 3 defenses through the entire season. They end up being the third ranked defense in the 2004 NFL season. Not to shabby.

Throught the season the Redskins held their opponents collectivly to 4,281 yards, or 267.5 yards per game.

Joe Gibbs, I still have faith.

Redskins (5-9) vs. Cowboys (5-9)

from the official site of the Washington Redskins

The Redskins, victorious in two of their last three games, prepare to play their final road game of the regular season when they take on NFC East rival Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium. The match-up is set for December 26 at 4:15 p.m. ET (3:15 p.m. CT).

The Redskins are coming down the home-stretch of the season and looking to finish strong after soundly defeating the New York Giants three weeks ago, falling in dramatic fashion to NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles, and then topping the San Francisco 49ers on the road last weekend.

Sunday's game against Dallas will be the second rematch of the season between long-time coaching rivals Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells. The Redskins also have a chance to even their 2004 road record to 4-4 on the season and avenge the 21-18 loss to the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 3 at FedExField.

Although the storied rivalry has been one-sided in recent history--the Cowboys are winners of the last 13-of-14 games--the Redskins are charged with positive momentum from solid performances the last few weeks.

"It's hard to have a rivalry when one team is winning all the games," Gibbs said. "The toughest thing for us is our division and what we have to do is win in our division, then work outwards."

The Redskins produced a strong performance last week in their victory over San Francisco at Monster Park. Unsung heroes got their turn to shine and the Redskins defense posted another dominating display.

Running back Clinton Portis rushied for more than 100 yards, Robert Royal logged his second career touchdown and middle linebacker Antonio Pierce continued his stellar season when he tied for the team-lead in tackles with nine and had a 78-yard interception return for a touchdown.

"Our guys have continued to fight and it's been every single week," Gibbs said. "It was a short work week for us--we played late last Sunday night and we had to travel to the west coast. I have to give the 49ers credit, they fought hard and we knew that would be the case. But the thing I'm proudest of is just the way we fight."

Running back Clinton Portis has five 100-yard games in the Redskins five wins this season. He also needs 217 yards to make NFL history, becoming the first player to record 1,500 yard rushing seasons in his first three years in the NFL.

Quarterback Patrick Ramsey is also finding his niche since taking over the starting job in Week 12. In his five starts, he has posted an 83.3 passer rating.

Eagles 17, Redskins 14

Once again, Washington hung tough with NFC East division winner Philadelphia. This time, the Redskins had the ball and a chance to win in the game's final minutes. But the late comeback was thwarted when quarterback Patrick Ramsey threw an interception in the end zone, ending a potential game-winning drive.

The Redskins would go on to lose 17-14 at FedExField, dropping their record to 4-9 on the season.

"I was trying to throw a touchdown," Ramsey said of his interception. "I was trying to give [receiver] Chris Cooley a chance to catch the ball. I felt like Chris was going to be able to get behind the defender. He had made some great plays [earlier in the game]. It was probably not a great decision, but at the same time I was trying to get us the win.

Head coach Joe Gibbs said he was proud of his team for nearly pulling off a big upset of the 12-1 Eagles.

"I'm proud of our guys for the way they fight--they've done that all year," Gibbs said. "I feel like they played with a lot of heart. We were right there to make a play and couldn't get it done."

Ramsey finished the game completing 29-of-45 passes for 251 yards. He connected with Laveranues Coles on 12 of his completions for 100 yards--the best output of the season for the Redskins' wide receiver.

Ramsey is also developing a great rapport with Cooley, who logged five catches for 75 yards. Cooley's 31-yard, third-down catch put the Redskins in position for a game-tying or game-winning score.

It was a hard-fought, physical battle on both sides of the ball. In one of the game's scary moments, cornerback Shawn Springs left the game on a cart in the fourth quarter after a jarring hit. He was diagnosed with a concussion. Springs was chasing McNabb, who had scrambled right, when he was blindsided by Eagles' fullback Josh Parry.

Down 17-7 early in the fourth quarter, the Redskins began to mount a comeback. Safety Sean Taylor tipped a Donovan McNabb pass into the arms of Springs, who turned up-field and gave the Redskins a first down at their own 49-yard line,

It took Ramsey just four plays to lead the offense in for a touchdown. Ramsey connected on passes to Portis for 15 yards and Chris Cooley for 24 yards to give the Redskins a 1st-and-goal at the 2-yard line. Portis followed blocks by Chris Samuels and Derrick Dockery for the touchdown.

Washington entered the game eyeing an upset of the Eagles, a team that had been outscoring NFC opponents by an average of 32-to-13.

The Redskins got off to a great start, thanks to Ladell Betts' 54-yard kickoff return. A 15-yard face mask infraction on the return gave the Redskins a 1st-and-goal at the Eagles' 7-yard line. One play later, Clinton Portis slid through a gaping hole to the left for an easy 5-yard touchdown run.

The Eagles responded with a touchdown drive of their own. It included a 47-yard pass interference penalty on Springs covering Owens. McNabb found tight end L.J. Smith on a 2-yard touchdown pass to culminate the 5-play, 66-yard drive.

With two touchdowns in the first four minutes, it looked as if there would be plenty of offensive fireworks. But the game quickly settled into a hard-hitting defensive battle.

In a play that seemed to epitomize the Redskins' effort, Coles took a jarring hit across the middle from Eagles' safety Michael Lewis. Coles held on to the ball, though, in a play that seemed to energize the FedExField crowd.

Early in the second quarter, the Eagles nearly scored early when McNabb completed an 80-yard pass to Todd Pinkston. Philadelphia had 1st-and-goal at the Redskins' 5-yard line. McNabb completed a pass in the flat to Terrell Owens. He was met head on by Antonio Pierce, who knocked the ball loose from Owens's hands and recovered the fumble.

In the third quarter, the Eagles built a 17-7 lead on a 1-yard touchdown run by Dorsey Levens and a 38-yard field goal by David Akers. It proved to be enough of a lead in the end.

"It was a tough loss," left tackle Chris Samuels said. "We laid it all on the line today. Give credit to Philly--they won the game. But they respect us. We went after those guys hard."

Added linebacker Marcus Washington: "I was proud to be out there. We've got some great character guys on this team. We fight from the first whistle to the last whistle. We're building on something here."

Steelers 16, Redskins 7

from the official site of the Washington Redskins

The Redskins dropped to 3-8 on the season with a 16-7 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Heinz Field on Sunday afternoon. The Steelers used three field goals by kicker Jeff Reed, nifty running by Antwaan Randle El on several punt returns and a 100-yard effort by bulldozing running back Jerome Bettis to win the game.

The Redskins' defense was able to keep the game close, pressuring quarterback Ben Roethlisberger repeatedly. The defense, ranked second overall in the NFL, limited the Steelers to just 207 total yards and 100 passing yards. Roethlisberger was sacked four times, twice by linebacker Marcus Washington and one each by Lemar Marshall and Chris Clemons.

But the Steelers' defense, ranked first overall in the NFL, was better. The Redskins managed 156 yards of total offense and just 51 rushing yards. Patrick Ramsey was 19-of-34 for 138 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

Like Roethlisberger, Ramsey was under seemingly constant pressure, with the Steelers' defense registering five sacks.

"Our football team, I told them I was proud of them," head coach Joe Gibbs said. "I was proud to be with them. They fight each and every week, against two tough opponents two weeks in a row on the road. Our guys competed and fought their guts out. But we weren't able to get it today. Hopefully somewhere in there, there'll be a reward. That's what's in my thoughts."

Of Ramsey, who was making his second start of the season, Gibbs said: "My general feeling was, he competed and he's a tough guy--which is what he's showing. I think it was kind of all of us today."

The Redskins trailed Pittsburgh 13-0 at halftime. Late in the third quarter, the Redskins scored a touchdown on a 2-yard pass from Ramsey to H-back Chris Cooley. It was the Redskins' first touchdown since Week 9 against Cincinnati.

The 13-play, 79-yard drive included a 26-yard run by Ladell Betts and a 17-yard pass from Ramsey to Laveranues Coles that got the Redskins' offense to the Steelers' 4-yard line. One play later, a defensive pass interference penalty gave the Redskins a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line.

The Steelers' defense rose to the challenge, however, stuffing Betts twice at the goal line and breaking up a Ramsey pass to tight end Brian Kozlowski.

Down 13-0, Gibbs elected to go for the touchdown on fourth down instead of settling for a field goal. Ramsey dropped back to pass and connected with Cooley for the touchdown. Cooley had settled near the middle of the end zone and caught the ball despite two Pittsburgh defenders draped over him.

A few minutes later, the Steelers increased their lead to 16-7 when Reed kicked a 32-yard field goal.

In the first half, the Steelers used a pair of long punt returns by the fleet-footed, shifty Randle El to build a lead.

The game was scoreless until late in the first quarter, but both teams had good field position. On Pittsburgh's second drive of the game, Shawn Springs was called for a 32-yard pass interference penalty as he covered Randle El. The play gave the Steelers the ball at Washington's 24-yard line.

The Redskins' defense stiffened, thanks in part to a pair of young players seeing their first action of the season. First rookie defensive tackle Ryan Boschetti tackled Bettis for a two-yard loss. Then first-year linebacker Chris Clemons, signed by the team last week, sacked Roethlisberger for a 7-yard loss, putting the Steelers out of field goal range.

Late in the first quarter, Randle El had a 60-yard punt return to set up the game's first score. It was the Redskins' Washington, playing on punt coverage, who made the touchdown-saving tackle on Randle El as he sprinted down the left sideline. He was knocked out of bounds at the Redskins' 17-yard line.

The Redskins' defense stiffened again, stopping Bettis twice and forcing an incomplete pass. Pittsburgh had to settle for a field goal; Reed connected on a 33-yarder to give the Steelers an early 3-0 lead.

On the first play of the second quarter, Randle El again caught a punt and weaved his way through the Redskins' special teams, eluding tacklers at almost every turn. It was punter Tom Tupa who knocked him out of bounds, saving a touchdown. The Steelers began their drive at the Redskins' 39-yard line.

Roethlisberger completed a 20-yard pass to Bettis, giving the Steelers a 1st-and-goal at the Redskins' 4-yard line. Bettis did the rest, lumbering into the left corner of the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown.

Midway through the second quarter, Reed added a 36-yard field goal to put the Steelers ahead 13-0 heading into halftime.

It was a lead the Redskins would not be able to overcome.

For the second week in a row, Washington was able to stay close with one of the NFL's elite teams on the road for three quarters. The Redskins lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 28-6 a week ago, but it was a close game until the Eagles pulled away in the fourth quarter.

"I think you can say we were very competitive and we fought hard [in both games]," Gibbs said. "The games were close into the fourth quarter. So you look at it and say our football team has continued to fight against tough odds. That's the way I look at it. That's what I would take from it. I'm proud of our guys and the way they fight. They fight hard."

Redskins Motor Past Lions, 17-10

from the offical site of the Washington Redskins

It's no secret the Redskins have struggled to score touchdowns this season. On Sunday in Detroit, coaches used the unconventional to put points on the scoreboard--and it resulted in a 17-10 win over the Lions at Ford Field.

Both of the Redskins' touchdowns came in the third quarter. One was a halfback option pass from Clinton Portis to Laveranues Coles; the other came following a blocked punt.

The win closed out the first half of the regular season for the Redskins and put Washington's record at 3-5.

"I'm proud of our guys," head coach Joe Gibbs said. "We have a bunch of players who fight hard every week. Every game we've played has been a close game and this one was no different. It was an extremely hard-fought game."

The Redskins' defense posted another stellar performance, limiting the Detroit ground attack to just 64 yards. Detroit quarterback Joey Harrington threw for 269 yards, but most of them came in the fourth quarter as the Lions mounted a fourth-quarter comeback. Defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin had two sacks and Fred Smoot recorded a fourth-quarter interception to help thwart the comeback.

The Lions scored a touchdown on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Harrington to fullback Cory Schlesinger to close to within 17-10 with 2:11 left in the game. Harrington had one final opportunity, but time ran out after a last-second Hail Mary pass was caught in bounds.

"I made up my mind when we had the lead that we needed to make sure we didn't beat ourselves," Gibbs said. "We tried to play it fairly cautious. I wanted to make sure our defense had every chance to stop them."

Mark Brunell and the Redskins' passing game struggled--the offense had just 73 yards passing and was 3-of-14 on third down conversions--but Clinton Portis more than picked up the slack. Portis rushed for 147 yards on 34 carries, a 4.3 yards per carry average.

On his first two carries of the second half, Portis logged 42 yards in putting the Redskins in excellent field position for a score.

Gibbs turned to Portis to close out the drive, employing a halfback option play. Portis took the handoff from Brunell and quickly lofted a high-arching pass to Laveranues Coles in the corner of the end zone. Coles, a step ahead of the nearest Lions defender, caught the pass near the right sideline for the 15-yard touchdown and a 10-3 lead.

"We worked on it all week and that was his best throw of the week," Brunell said. "Laveranues made a nice play, chased it down. It was a big play, obviously coming out in the second half like that."

Later in the third quarter, special teams coordinator Danny Smith sent his unit on a punt block. Taylor Jacobs broke through from the left and batted away the kick of punter Nick Harris. The ball tumbled away and Walt Harris quickly scooped it up. He raced untouched into the end zone for another score and a 17-3 advantage.

"We've had a punt block on every week, it's just a matter of when Danny chooses to use it," Gibbs said. "In that play, it kind of looked like they got off a bad snap and that gave us enough time to get back there to block it. We finally got one and it came at a good time for us."

The first half was filled with solid defensive play, as both teams went into halftime tied at 3-3. Each offense was hamstrung by poor field position and the defenses were able to contain playmakers for both teams.

The Lions started three first-half drives at their own 14-, 13- and 1-yard lines while the Redskins started drives on their 26-, 8- and 3-yard lines.

Neither offense was able to establish any momentum until midway through the second quarter. James Thrash returned a punt 43 yards to give the Redskins their first good field position of the half. Brunell completed passes to tight end Brian Kozlowski and running back Ladell Betts, while Portis spearheaded the ground attack. They led the Redskins to the Lions' 1-yard line.

For the second consecutive week, the Redskins had a touchdown taken off the board due to a penalty. On 4th-and-1 from the one, Gibbs elected to go for it. Brunell found tight end Robert Royal in the back of the end zone for an apparent score. But the play was called back due to a false start by right tackle Ray Brown. The Redskins had to settle for a 24-yard field goal by Ola Kimrin.

Late in the first half, another Redskins penalty helped the Lions get into field position for a field goal. With less than 20 seconds left in the first half, Harrington completed a 14-yard pass to tight end Stephen Alexander to the Redskins' 35-yard line. Antonio Pierce and Todd Franz lightly pushed Alexander out of bounds, but they were called for an unnecessary roughness penalty.

After the game, Gibbs made a point to say penalties were a concern.

"We've told the guys, if you hit anybody out of bounds, you run the risk of a penalty," Gibbs said. "Our guys know that. We can't be having those penalties."

Even with the mistakes and the 3-5 record, players still have high hopes for a postseason push.

"We just have to take it one game at a time," Smoot said. "If we win the next game, it just brings us one game closer to where we want to be at."

Portis, 'D' Lead Redskins to 13-10 Win

2004-10-18T15:29:00.000-04:00

By Gary Fitzgerald, Redskins.com

Led by a dominating defense and strong running by Clinton Portis, the Redskins defeated the Chicago Bears 13-10 at Soldier Field on Sunday afternoon. The win improved the Redskins' record to 2-4 on the season and ended a four-game losing skid that tested the team's mettle the last few weeks.

Portis was the offensive star, rushing for 171 yards on 36 carries. He found room running behind both sides of the offensive line. As a team, the Redskins rushed for 218 yards, with Ladell Betts adding 30 rushing yards on six carries.

Portis's yardage total was the most for the Redskins since Dec. 12, 1999, when Stephen Davis rushed for 189 yards.

Mark Brunell did not post impressive numbers, but he was efficient in leading the Redskins' offense on three scoring drives. For the game, Brunell was 8-of-22 for 95 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.

The Redskins' defense shined from the get-go. Led by defensive tackle Cornelius Griffin (eight tackles, two sacks), Fred Smoot (six tackles) and Sean Taylor (four tackles, one sack, one interception), the defense limited the Bears to just 160 total yards of offense. Bears' quarterback Jonathan Quinn, making his second start for injured starter Rex Grossman, was 10-of-22 for 65 yards and one interception.

Even with the dominating performances by Portis and the defense, the game went down to the wire as the Redskins' offense was unable to run out the clock with a slim three-point lead.

But Quinn was pressured repeatedly on the Bears' last opportunity to drive downfield for a game-tying field goal. Quinn was sacked twice on the last drive, and on 4th-and-15 with 25 seconds left, he was intercepted by Taylor to seal the win for the Redskins. It was Taylor's first NFL interception.

In the first half, the Redskins built a 10-0 lead midway early in the second quarter.
Kicker Ola Kimrin-signed on Saturday to replace the injured John Hall-nailed a 41-yard field goal to open the scoring in the first quarter.

On their next possession, Brunell led the Redskins on an efficient 8-play, 79-yard drive that included passes of 21 yards to Laveranues Coles and 11 yards to Portis. On the first play of the second quarter, the Redskins got in the end zone on an 18-yard pass from Brunell to a wide-open Rod Gardner.

The Bears got on the scoreboard midway through the second quarter by capitalizing on a Redskins' turnover. It was a turnover that seemed reminiscent of several others that had occurred in Redskins' games this season.

Brunell's pass to Gardner was tipped by a defensive lineman at the line of scrimmage and drifted aimlessly into the secondary. The football was hauled in by cornerback Jerry Azumah at the Bears' 30-yard line. A Pro Bowl kick return specialist, Azumah quickly found open space and raced down the right sideline for a quick seven points.

For the Redskins, it was their fourth time this season that a turnover had been returned for a touchdown by an opposing team.

The game settled into a defensive battle from that point on, with neither team scoring in the third quarter.

Early in the fourth quarter, Portis led the Redskins downfield with runs of 22 yards and 17 yards. The drive stalled on the Bears' 7-yard line and Kimrin came in to kick a 26-yard field goal, putting the Redskins ahead 13-7.

Chicago responded with their only offensive drive of the game. The Bears gave the defense a heavy dose of tailback Thomas Jones (who finished the game with 97 yards on 24 carries) and he helped lead the offense to the Redskins' 28-yard line. Kicker

Paul Edinger nailed a 46-yard field goal to pull Chicago closer.

But the Redskins' defense clamped down the rest of the way.

Gibbs Debut

2004-09-13T13:46:00.000-04:00

It was head coach Joe Gibbs' first regular season victory, yesterday, since returning to the Redskins last January. And it was the franchise's 500th regular season win and one - quarter of those belong to Gibbs as he gets his 125th career win.

The Redskins out played the Bucs in a 16 - 10 decision. Game ball should go to the Redskins offensive and defensive lines.

Go Skins!!!

Randy Thomas is Regaining His Confidence

2004-09-02T17:01:00.000-04:00

Redskins guard Randy Thomas' solid play in 2003 might have warranted Pro Bowl consideration had he not been playing for a 5-11 team. With the season-ending injury to Jon Jansen, Thomas will be called upon to elevate his game even more.

The loss of his line mate, who was lined up next to him for every practice and every game last year, will be hard to overcome. "He's such a team leader and motivator and we just have to find a way to replace him," said Thomas. He's still going to be with us (working with line coach Joe Bugel ), though, and I'm glad of that." Still, though, there will have to be adjustments made on the field. "(We were) like bread and butter and somebody stole my butter so I've got to buy me some more."

Kenyatta Jones , the team's first option to replace Jansen, has enjoyed some success himself. "He's going to be fine. We've just got to get some repetitions together. He's been in it, he's been on a Super Bowl team," Thomas said. "With Jon going down he can basically start his career over and do well. . . He's got a chance to be a hero (by stepping in for Jansen).

Keep Your Eyes On These Guys

2004-08-27T18:52:00.000-04:00

He wanted them to play smarter last week and they did. Now the Redskins have different things they need to show tonight, starting with how they handle a team built on speed. St. Louis has speed on defense, on offense and special teams. That's why they're so dangerous indoors.

But this is an all-around test, unlike what Washington faced a week ago. Chances are, the absence of LaVar Arrington , Phillip Daniels and Mike Barrow will be felt much more tonight.

On the hot seat: Patrick Ramsey . The third-year quarterback needs a strong showing to have a realistic chance of winning the starting job. Ramsey started to show improvement, but this will be an excellent test for him. He needs to show he can handle pressure, knowing where to throw the ball under duress.

Keep an eye on: Defensive end Ron Warner . He's looked better than Regan Upshaw . Is that enough to beat out the veteran? Warner has appeared in six games since first entering the league in 1998, but he's done a nice job this summer.

And another eye on: Right tackle Kenyatta Jones . The Redskins have said they're pleased with what they've seen. But coaches almost always say that. What I want to see is Jones handle a top rusher without consistent help. So far, I haven't seen that. Tight end Walter Rasby is a constant companion on passing downs (which helped create a nice pocket against Miami). But Jones will face Leonard Little at times tonight. It's an excellent chance to see what Jones can do.

Two more: rookie tackles Mark Wilson and Jim Molinaro . Washington needs these players to progress rapidly. Wilson's balance was an issue vs. Miami and must improve, especially when pulling. That's correctable; let's see if those corrections have taken place.

Best subplot: The battle for the backup running back position. If Ladell Betts is healthy, a big if, then the job is his. There's not enough room to keep Rock Cartwright , John Simon and Sultan McCullough . That is, without a surprise cut there isn't. Each of those three has shown flashes of how they can help. Each is limited -- McCullough is the most limited, but he's also the fastest. What matters most? If special teams really plays an issue here, then Simon and Cartwright have the edge. But it's debatable if they'll keep both.

What we'd like to see: Taylor Jacobs string together a few catches. The coaches say he's smart, runs good routes and is fast. So let's see what he can do with the ball.

Washington 17, Miami 0

2004-08-23T14:48:00.000-04:00

Miami got pounded in the preseason game yesterday. From Yahoo!

The Washington Redskins ran for 181 yards, controlled the ball for 41 minutes to beat the Miami Dolphins 17-0 Saturday night.

Miami (1-1) made five first downs -- none in the second half -- and totaled just 98 yards. By the second quarter, the offense was drawing boos from the crowd of about 30,000.

That makes us 1-1 in the preseason. Brunell looked great, even if most of his passes were pretty short. Now we need to gear up for St. Louis, who lost their first game against the Bears last week, and face the Chiefs tonight....
