I’m taking a different format for today’s Game Notes. The following are 4 “secrets”–things that I think will fly under the radar as other issues dominate the media this week. Secret 1: Mark Brunell is not the reason why we lost the past couple of games. No man is going to take more heat over … Read more
Many fans are exasperated by the kicking in Washington. Today the Redskins showed they are quite serious about fixing this problem. The coaches were planning to work out a rather inexperienced kicker today, Nick Novak, and a veteran kicker would have chance at the spot tomorrow, Todd Peterson. Redskin’s faithful will recall Nick Novak from … Read more

With the Redskins now four games deep in the 2006 season, several players seem to have found a groove or at least returned to old form: Mark Brunell has obviously rebounded from a terrible beginning to post two big performances and two big victories. The Brunell topic has been beat to death, but sufficeth to … Read more
Over the last two years, we’ve heard quite a bit about Santana Moss, and deservedly so.

What a dog fight. Santana Moss pulls in a pass from Mark Brunell and breaks it for a 68-yard touchdown in overtime? You can’t expect to see a much better NFL game than the Washington Redskins 36-30 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Not if you’re a Redskin fan anyway.
