Joe Gibbs<\/a> selected in last years NFL draft, he was picked ninth overall. Landry is the only first round pick since the return of Gibbs that\u2019s still on the field. Sean Taylor was the first, number one pick (5th overall) of the \u201cGibbs II\u201d era, and was taken from the team tragically a few weeks ago. Cornerback Carlos Rogers who was ninth overall the following year (2005) is sidelined for the season. The Redskins traded their first round pick for the 2006 draft to select Quarterback Jason Campbell fourteen players after Rogers was taken, Campbell was sidelined two weeks ago and his return is questionable. <\/p>\n— Head athletic trainer John Burrell announced Marcus Washington has been named the Redskins’ Ed Block Courage Award winner. The award is given to one player from each NFL team who has overcome injuries while at the same time maintaining a high level of sportsmanship and professionalism both on and off the field. Marcus was sidelined late last season with a knee injury. During the off season, he underwent hip surgery, and suffered a dislocated right elbow injury in a preseason game. Though ten games this season Washington has 48 tackles, five sacks and one interception.<\/p>\n
— Players like Redskins lineman Lorenzo Alexander are a rarity in today\u2019s NFL; Alexander plays goal line offense, defense, and on the special teams. With a depleted offensive line, he plays the tackle eligible, but filled in briefly for Jason Fabini as a pulling guard Sunday night against the Giants. Lorenzo\u2019s position is listed as a defensive tackle but should be DT\/TE\/G\/T that also plays ST. Alexander went undrafted out of college (California) and spent most of the 2006 season on the Redskins’ practice squad. Defensive coaches told Joe Gibbs and Joe Bugel they should give him a look on the offense line during this years OTA’s and he has become one of the team’s most versatile back-ups.<\/p>\n
— The Washington Times reported that Redskins coach Joe Gibbs is open to the possibility of staying beyond the 2008 season. Gibbs would not address the rumors that owner Daniel Snyder had offered him a two-year extension by saying “I don’t want to dredge up a bunch of stuff, hear people talking about, ‘Hey, Joe wants to talk to Dan about a contract,’ \u201cWe’ll talk at some point. That stuff takes place in the off-season. My focus now is on Minnesota. That’s where I’m going to leave it.” Asked if the rumor had anything to do with ensuring the players that he wouldn’t be a lame duck in 2008, Gibbs said “I think the players kinda know,\u2019 “They know me, what I’m all about. I don’t think they’re worried about that. They’re worried about the playoffs. They’re not worried about me.”<\/p>\n
— Clinton Portis rushed for 126 yards on 25 carries (5.0 YPC), to go over 1000 yards for the fifth time in six seasons. Portis has only had three 100+ yards games this year and two came in games at the Meadowlands; he rushed for 196 yards against the Jets on November 4th<\/p>\n
