When times become increasingly tougher and the end is not near, it is then that a person, or in this case, a team, determines their true character and desire to be successful. That is the situation facing the Washington Redskins heading into Week 9 of the 2009 season. Having gone through the lighter portion of … Read more
So it’s a bye week, and for Redskin fans, that seems to mean a whole lot of people walking around with their heads down. Who can blame them? It’s been a tough first seven games.
Since the bye week is almost at the half-way point, I thought I’d take a look at the things that were ‘good’ for the Redskins in the first half of 2009.
As Redskin fans try to come together and unify, presumably so that they can commiserate with others, I thought I’d blog about one of the few bright spots of 2009 – Albert Haynesworth.
Here are this week’s leftovers from THN Weekly with Andre Carter.
THN: Haynesworth apparently left to go to the locker room with about 25 seconds left in the game but he was also the one guy to make his voice heard and try to motivate guys and get them to step their game up after the game. Is that true? If so, why did he leave so early and what did he say?

The difference between Sunday’s loss to the Carolina Panthers and the previous two is that the Redskins led at halftime for the first time all season and squandered a 15-point lead in the third quarter. Arguably the biggest … Read more
One of the prevailing pieces of information to come out of Sunday’s 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was that, despite being booed on their way to the locker room at the beginning of halftime by the hometown crowd, the Redskins did not take an emotional “Rah! Rah!” approach, but rather a calm, focused … Read more
This week’s exclusive THN Weekly with Andre Carter is now posted and can be found here.
Here are some quotes not included in this week’s edition:
There is no way to sugarcoat it. Sunday’s 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, who had lost every regular season game since Week 17 in 2007, is arguably the most undesirable in recent memory. Fans and media alike have been questioning the team’s direction since the Redskins 9-7 win over the St. Louis Rams in … Read more
