Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback has started his career with a bang, which has helped people forget some of the turmoil that he stirred up before he even get to the NFL.
So this week’s THN Toon is just a friendly public service announcement to help Redskins fans remember things:
Occasionally, I like ot hit the Twitterverse and just ask people for their opinions on something, and then put the answers of #RedskinsNation right here in this blog. So yesterday’s crowdsourcing question was:
What is the single biggest key to containing Cam Newton’s effectiveness on Sunday?
On Sunday, for the first time in four years, John Beck will start an NFL game at quarterback. In the midst of the Washington Redskins critical heart-breaking 20-13 loss to NFC East rivals the Philadelphia Eagles, Coach Mike Shanahan called on Beck to supplant a floundering Rex Grossman after his fourth interception of the afternoon. … Read more
Teams win and lose… as teams. No one individual is ever single-handedly responsible for the fate of an NFL franchise. Repeat that over and over to yourself about Sunday’s performance from Rex Grossman, and maybe you’ll believe it. The fact of it is, when you put up four interceptions, and almost nothing of note on … Read more
Word is that King Dunlap may not be able to play on Sunday, and that could become the Achilles heel for the Philadelphia Eagles. Dunlap was expected to play in place of starter Jason Peters, who was officially ruled out of this week’s action.
Not only do the Eagles have to go three deep at left tackle if King can’t go, but the only other option they have, is to play Todd Herremans at left tackle. At first glance, that wouldn’t appear earth-shattering as Herremans is listed as the right tackle, but what a depth chart won’t tell you is that he was already playing out of position. Herremans is naturally a guard.
When the Philadelphia Eagles take to Fed Ex Field on Sunday to face the Washington Redskins, it will likely be the first time that a 1-4 away team were favored over a 3-1 home team. If the Redskins needed more inspiration than the 59-28 shellacking they suffered at the hand of the Eagles last year, … Read more
After more than thirty great shows on their current set, Brian Mitchell and his crew will be launching an all new look on Friday’s Tailgate Show. The web show at Bmitchlive.com already has a very professional look and feel to it, so what could possibly be in store for the new digs? I figured there was only one logical way to find out – ask them.
Having just been on the show last week myself, I have to admit that I was more than intrigued when Brian leaked a sneak peak to the new set’s existence on Twitter this week. I promptly asked the show’s Creative Director Ben Brletic, if it was alright if I forwarded along a few questions for them. Ben graciously obliged and promised that I would have them back in short order – and then carried through with that promise (Thanks Ben).
The Washington Redskins handed the St. Louis Rams a 17-10 loss last Sunday, and also perhaps lost in the game, was Tim Hightower’s stranglehold on the number one running back position. Ryan Torain made his return to the Redskins line-up, and after a 135 yard performance, he might not be sitting down again for a … Read more
Last night I was fortunate enough to make my first appearance on Brian Mitchell’s new Tailgate Show. If you’re not familiar with the show, please check out my blog from when THN’s own Bobby Johnson was on the show a few weeks ago.
Brian Mitchell has been coming by this website for a few years, and was interacting with the fan base here, before Twitter, before Facebook, before players actually interacted with the fans. I have always been very appreciative of the fact that he did so, and I have always tried to reciprocate that support wherever I could.
It’s the bye week, but there’s still some things going on in Redskins Nation that you might want to know about:
