The “Other” Danny

The owner of the Washington Redskins, Dan Snyder, was dubbed “The Danny” or just “Danny” by the media shortly after acquiring the storied franchise. Many articles have been written about Mr. Snyder’s brief tenure thus far as the owner and about the decisions that he has made. While not every decision or move made by … Read more

Week 13: ‘Twas a Turkey

Ah, Shaolin Redskins fans, our little village lays smothered under the forlorn detritus of our day of thanksgiving. We were feasting on so many wonderful dishes–and then disaster struck. Our troops, after an early domination of our sworn enemies, collapsed and their defeat was secured. It is a dark time for all of our peoples. … Read more

Week 13: Cowboys

RUSHING: While Steve Spurrier didn’t really call enough running plays for the running game to establish itself, the offense didn’t execute the plays very well either. 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

Week 12: Rams

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.

Matthews’ most telling quote from post-game interviews was this little gem, ‘I’m not playing as bad as the stats indicate.’ You’re right Shane – you’re playing a lot worse than the … Read more

Week 11: Giants in the Mud

Good day, Shaolin Redskins fans. It is a quiet, reflective day here on my mountain–it has rained on and off throughout the night, and mist shrouds the valley below. It is gray all around. The Ol’ Ball Coach has brought us more lessons from Master Sun Tzu. Let us turn to them: WATER WATER EVERYWHERE … Read more

Week 11: Giants

RUSHING: Stephen Davis did not show any signs of being hampered by the knee injury that kept him out of the last two games. Unfortunately, Steve Spurrier didn’t show any signs of embracing a ‘run-first’ attitude either. The Redskins ran the ball only 21 times compared to 35 passing plays. SD had 59 yards on … Read more

Week 10

1. The Shane Game Last week we warned you that QB Shane Matthews might be losing his grip on the starting job. Against the Jaguars, Matthews brought back painful memories of the ghosts-of-quarterbacks-past. There is perhaps no greater insult than to compare any QB to the likes of ex-Redskin Tony Banks… so here goes. Matthews … Read more
