Trent Williams: #WallpaperWednesday

Still feeling down over the tough loss to the Falcons? Maybe a new Redskins wallpaper for your desktop will cheer you up. Personally, I think the offensive line has played well to date this season – perhaps even better than expected. After all, 40% of the line has virtually no NFL experience. Run blocking has … Read more

Difficult Loss To Swallow?

I know I wasn’t the only one that found Sunday’s loss to the Falcons heart-breaking – most of Redskins Nation were pretty devastated. I tried to provide even a minor amount of silver-lining through my Twitter account, but some to many just weren’t having it.

Which I understand to a degree, but maybe not to the degree that sometimes seems to be the case.

Flashback Friday: Trevor Matich

Today’s Flashback Friday is Trevor Matich. After all, today is his birthday. 🙂

Matich played for the Redskins from 1994 through 1996, but was in Washington after his playing days, cutting his broadcasting teeth in D.C.

Perhaps the most memorable quote by Matich in his time here, was on (then) Head Coach Steve Spurrier:

“The Redskins would be better off if their head coach were a ham sandwich. A ham sandwich has no personal agenda and would at least do no harm.”

Umm, perfect.
