In 2004 THN started doing weekly cartoons to spoof that week’s opponent for the Washington Redskins. They were very well received and we are happy to be carrying on the tradition this year. Each week we will be launching that week’s cartoon on either the Thursday or the Friday. There will always be a ‘Send … Read more
The Washington Redskins announced their practice squad on Saturday and there were a few surprises both in who made it and who didn’t. Also of note is the Redskins only allocating seven of the eight players that they are permitted to sign to the squad. Here are the seven players: Jonathan Alston, OL – Alston … Read more
The following is a question and answer we did with Dan Labert of FantasyTailgate.com as their featured fan site this past weekend. As you might guess from their web address, they highlight fantasy football and tailgating, so we talked about a little bit of both. Our thanks to Dan for thinking of THN, and we … Read more
Last week we looked at some of the players that were on the bubble for the Washington Redskins. By Tuesday, the Redskins have to pare their roster down to 65 players (plus NFLE exempt players), so decision time is here. This week, we’ll take a look at some of the players that we missed last … Read more
The Washington Redskins hosted the 2004 AFC North Champions and put on their best showing of 2005. While little can be gauged by meaningless pre-season games, it’s always good to see improvement.

While at Redskins Training Camp, THN caught up with one of it’s favorite players and one of the funniest Washington Redskins to interview — Cory Raymer. Always engaging and entertaining, we were happy to talk with him again. It was just a couple of days after the Baltimore scrimmage where he appeared to have been … Read more
The last day of open practices for the 2005 Washington Redskins training camp was Thursday and it was probably the hottest day yet. There was a full crowd in attendance and apparently it was ‘VIP’ day as there seemed to almost be more people with VIP passes than without. There were a few of the … Read more
There was an eerie difference as we arrived at Redskin Park today… it wasn’t busy. It was perhaps the least attended training camp practice since the Spurrier era. The skies were overcast and there was a light drizzle but the rain held off and Redskin fans were treated to an afternoon practice with elbow room. … Read more

This seemed to keep the crowd to a dull roar but with six or seven bus loads of camp kids there, it was still … Read more
