PM Practice

Tuesday afternoon and it’s a scorcher here in Ashburn. I arrived a little early figuring that the good weather would bring people out in droves. It proved sound judgement as this afternoon was far and away the most heavily attended practice. Unfortunately, the players all came out without their pads on which meant that we … Read more

Training Camp Day 2

AM Practice Traffic to Redskin Park was a little heavier today, probably because it’s such a beautiful day in Ashburn. I concentrated on the receivers this morning. When the squad split into offense and defense, the cornerbacks, the receivers and the quarterbacks all got together to run some routes at full speed. A lot of … Read more

AM Practice

First practice of training camp and my first observation is, it is HOT in Ashburn today. Overcast skies and muggy conditions made for a very sticky morning practice. The offense and the defense split up almost immediately and went to separate fields. I went to the defense field because it was less crowded and a … Read more

PM Practice

Building A Better O-Line

The Redskins organization took a huge step in shoring up their offensive line today, when they signed free agent guard Dave Fiore to a four-year deal. In signing Fiore, they began assembling a “Hog-esque” offensive line, something that has been lacking in Washington for years. Fiore, a three-year starter with the San Francisco 49ers, has … Read more

A Driven Man: Regan Upshaw

If you’re only familiar with his reputation, you might look at Regan Upshaw as a modern-day football stereotype. The gold teeth. The three pitbulls. Fines for spitting. Penalties for late hits. “Thug,” you might think, and dismiss him out of hand. But you’d be wrong if you did. It isn’t–and he isn’t–that simple. Let him … Read more
