So here we are again. Another season drawing to a close with the Redskins “playing out the string”. With three games left in the season and the playoffs well out of the picture, the Redskins should start to prepare for the 2003 season. It is hard not to look around the league and compare our … Read more
Greetings, Shaolin Redskins fans. Our army returns again to our little valley with heads down, swords dragging in the dust.

RUSHING: Coach Spurrier’s ‘de-emphasis’ of both the running game and Stephen Davis continued against the Giants. Seven different Redskins had runs, though Washington ran the ball only 20 times.

1. “W” Got the “W”, then the “L” Danny Wuerffel finally got his chance – and made the most of his opportunity. Wuerffels’ stats were impressive, 16-for-23 235 yards, no interceptions.

Shaolin Redskins fans, it is a time for rejoicing! Not only did our troops defeat a skilled enemy; not only is it a week for family and feasting in much of our land; it is the week when we confront our most hated foe! The only thing to make it sweeter would be defeating that … Read more

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.
