After agreeing to a hefty five year contract extension with Washington just a month ago, Donovan McNabb definitely had reason to believe that he’d be the starting quarterback for the Redskins going forward barring an injury serious enough to keep him off the field. But while his $78.5 million dollar deal would seem to indicate [...]

Sunday, December 12, 2010
Given Redskins owner Dan Snyder’s propensity to hire and fire head coaches almost as often as he changes his clothes, it should come as no surprise that he is reportedly considering a coaching change at the end of the season, dumping Mike Shanahan after just one year. There hasn’t been much to substantiate the rumor, [...]

Monday, November 15, 2010
Two weeks ago, the Redskins were the talk of the league for the wrong reasons, as they inexplicably benched Donovan Mcnabb for backup quarterback Rex Grossman with just two minutes remaining in a game against Detroit. Predictably, Grossman fumbled the game away, giving the Lions a late game defensive touchdown and eventually the victory. That [...]

After Mike Shanahan inexplicably decided to send Donovan McNabb to the bench late against the Lions two Sundays ago, the immediate discussion around the league centered on McNabb’s health and conditioning, which was the logic given by Shanahan following the game for the move. Shanahan later divulged that he felt more comfortable with backup quarterback [...]

Despite having come away with a crucial win against the Packers earlier this afternoon, the Redskins had plenty to be concerned with after the game, as both of their starting offensive tackles left the game with knee injuries. That concern was relatively short lived though, as initial tests showed no significant damage to either Jammal [...]

Saturday, October 9, 2010
While potential is often enough to get a player’s foot in the door, production on the field outweighs that in almost every case. That lesson was delivered the hard way this morning to wide receiver Devin Thomas, as he was released by Washington after two disappointing seasons. Given the state of Washington’s receiving corps right [...]

Tuesday, September 28, 2010
Washington’s move in the off-season to a 3-4 scheme under first year defensive coordinator Jim Haslett brought mostly positive reaction from around the league, as it seemed on paper to benefit the Redskins given their overall team speed. But three games into the season, the criticism directed at Haslett and head coach Mike Shanahan is [...]

Sunday, September 26, 2010
This year has brought one colossal mistake after another for Washington defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, but his latest comments could potentially end up costing him more than all the other blunders combined. In an interview he granted to a local sports station, 106.7 The Fan, Haynesworth took umbrage with the notion that his mammoth contract [...]

The Redskins have been the poster child for teams in need of quality leadership over the past few years, and that was once again made apparent this morning, as cornerback DeAngelo Hall trashed the coaching staff’s decision to have him cover different receivers throughout each game. “That’s how it was; it ain’t how it’s gonna be from here [...]
