The Redskins announced that they have hired Bobby Turner to be the running backs coach, and assistant head coach. The move reunites Mike Shanahan with the assistant who helped the Denver Broncos produce more rushing yards than any team in the league since Turner joined them in 1995.

Scabs To Pick
Well we are only one day past a very memorable day for Redskin fans, but I can’t help but look back and have a couple of issues…
Cerrato Out, Allen In
In what most Redskin fans would classify as an early Christmas present, Vinny Cerrato resigned as the Washington Redskins executive vice president of football operations on Thursday. It is the end of an era – an unsuccessful, often painful era.
By The Numbers: Raiders
Here are the numbers and statistics from the Washington Redskins 34-13 drubbing of the Oakland Raiders on Sunday: 222 – Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on a 16 for 28 day. It wasn’t a Pro Bowl performance, but he was solid. He also had 20 yards rushing on 4 carries. 108 – Yards in penalties … Read more
Sit Down Carlos
Cornerback Carlos Rogers was benched on Sunday, after giving up a 40-yard touchdown reception to Brandon Marshall. On the play, Rogers was beaten badly on a double move, allowing Marshall to get behind him and make the catch.
Carlos was a little sensitive after the game:
