At the beginning of the offseason when we started the big draft section, we fully anticipated having a full page dedicated to our beloved Redskins. We were going to profile prospective first round picks, address individual team needs and things like that. We never could have predicted the whirlwind free agency period that has resulted … Read more
The Redskins have been the busiest team in the NFL signing both unrestricted and restriced free agents – 14 of them in fact. They re-signed veteran Tre Johnson, as well as re-signing OL Wilbert Brown and Alex Sulfsted. They added Trung Canidate via a trade with the Rams. At the time of this story’s release, … Read more
We’re three days into free agency and the Redskins have already taken drastic steps towards fielding a playoff contender for 2003. With many holes to fill, it was uncertain how the Redskins would go about filling their needs in the offseason. Apparently the answer is… quickly. Day one of free agency saw the Redskins first … Read more

RUSHING: The Redskins had another solid day on the ground with over 150 yards rushing between Ladell Betts and Kenny Watson. Once again the rookie RB’s split the load evenly carrying the ball 17 times each. Watson had 58 yards and a touchdown while Betts added 98 yards. Unfortunately Betts fumbled the ball going into … Read more
RUSHING: My first five quarter awarding since The 5th Quarter’s inception. Sure it was against the expansion Houston Texans, but when you have two running backs gain over 100 yards in the same game, there is little choice. Ladell Betts carried the ball 20 times for 116 yards, and Kenny Watson added 110 yards on … Read more
RUSHING: When Stephen Davis had 24 yards on his first 2 carries, it looked as though the Rdskins were going to employ a steady dose of running. Then, Davis fumbled the ball on his third carry and separated his shoulder on the same play. After that, Washington only ran the ball 23 more times. Ladell … Read more
RUSHING: Coach Spurrier’s ‘de-emphasis’ of both the running game and Stephen Davis continued against the Giants. Seven different Redskins had runs, though Washington ran the ball only 20 times. Davis had just 12 carries for 70 yards (5.8 yards per carry), including a nice 33 yards gain in the 3rd quarter. If management plans on … Read more

Well at least not in the second half. The offensive line did create some good lanes for Big Country to run through early on, but those lanes got smaller … Read more
RUSHING: The Redskins took a business like approach to the running game today and it paid huge dividends. Although their stats may not seem impressive overall, as the team rushed the ball 39 times for a total of 127 yards, the rushing game played a large part of the win. Stephen Davis accounted for the … Read more
