The controversial roughing the passer call on Haynesworth exemplifies the broader Redskins 2009 season struggles that have fans questioning everything about this franchise. While it made no difference in the game’s outcome, that alleged penalty is just further evidence that the NFL’s effort to protect quarterbacks has spiraled completely out of control.
Well we are only one day past a very memorable day for Redskin fans, but I can’t help but look back and have a couple of issues…
In what most Redskin fans would classify as an early Christmas present, Vinny Cerrato resigned as the Washington Redskins executive vice president of football operations on Thursday. It is the end of an era – an unsuccessful, often painful era.

“Linus! You’ve got to lose the blanket! Oh yeah!”
There is one thing that the Redskins have plenty of… and that is retired great running backs who have an opinion. Riggins has joined the pig pile, along with B. Mitch. There seems to be a bit of a competition to see who can contribute the wittiest commentary. That would definitely have to be Riggo… B. Mitch seems to have the bigger bite, though.

John Riggins has been at it for weeks with some serious venom cast in the direction of the Washington Redskins organization. Though sometimes radical, the brash Redskins legend often says a few things that ring true for many Redskin fans. But did his latest rant cross a boundary? Check out Dan Steinberg’s recap at D.C. Sports Bog, if you haven’t already seen or heard Riggins latest comments.
There aren’t many Redskin fans that aren’t familiar with John Tayman, aka Bang, and his cartoons. Unfortunately for Redskin fans, John spreads his particular brand of cartoon ‘love’ around to all NFL teams now, but his latest episode is definitely a must-see for Redskin fans.
While it has become almost painful to watch the Redskins fumble through each and every week, it’s our job at THN to keep bringing you the news – no matter how ’embarrassing’ some of it might be.
Yesterday, Vinny Cerrato publicly endorsed coach Jim Zorn’s job stability.
Oh, I know I’m gonna ruffle some feathers with this one.
Here’s my question; Was Jack Kent Cooke really the genius we believe him to be, or did he just have the right cogs fall into place?
