Well, it’s that time of year again. It’s that time of year that you kiss your wife and kids goodbye on Friday after work and then hope that they welcome you back on Monday morning, with the understanding that not only will you be leaving them for a few hours Monday night, but that you … Read more
1. Breaking the Routine It hit me this morning when I was scanning through the various roster cuts – something is very different today. Instead of digging through other teams cuts, hoping they’d made a serious error, I found myself solely focused on the Redskins list. It’s a huge change from years past. As Redskin … Read more
The Doubters surfaced last week, but the team silenced them yet again with an astounding performance. Vick didn’t know which way to turn, and the Skins offense clicked while the starters were out on the field. There was a shovel pass, a reverse and several wide receiver hitches.

At almost every position on the depth chart, guys wearing the burgundy and gold are stinging anyone not wearing the proper colors. Ralph Brown and Garnell Wilds chalked … Read more

Utterly exhausted by a relentless attack, the Dolphins succumbed to the standard Joe Gibbs game plan in the preseason. 53 rushes. Merciless. How would it make you … Read more
Joe Gibbs himself summed it up best after the game Saturday night, when he stated simply that the Redskins were ‘solid’. Indisputably, their 17-0 victory over the Miami Dolphins was a definite improvement. While little can be made of any pre-season win, first-stringers played most of the first half for both teams, and it was … Read more
