National Media Blasts the Redskins Over Rushing RGIII Back, but They Give a Pass to the Pats with Gronk
April 8th, 2013 at 10:23 AM
***PHOTO1*** During last season's first round playoff loss, all the national media could talk about was how the Washington Redskins and head coach Mike Shanahan rushed quarterback Robert Griffin III back before he was ready.
What has gotten very little media scrutiny has been the Patriots and coach Bill Belichick's treatment ...

February 12th, 2013 at 9:30 AM
The Washington Redskins announced the hiring of former Denver Broncos' Assistant Special Teams Coach Keith Burns yesterday. Burns replaces the out going ST coach Danny Smith who left the Redskins last month to take over Special Teams duties in Pittsburgh.
Burns is a former ST specialist who played under Coach Mike...
The Season Ends on a Whimper and Fan Debate Rages About RG3
January 7th, 2013 at 9:54 AM
Yesterday the Redskins came out firing on all cylinders and it looked like it was going to be a route. Going up 14-0 early in the first quarter it seemed like nothing could go wrong for the Burgundy and Gold. However the first quarter would end and so would the...
Enough is Enough Redskin Fans, We Knew What Kind of Team We Had Going into This Season
November 5th, 2012 at 11:56 AM
***PHOTO1*** Yesterday during the lack luster Washington Redskins vs. Carolina Panthers game I had to close Twitter down. Yes the team, especially the defense played poorly, but the fan reaction was getting ridiculous.
All the complaining about defensive coordinator Jim Haslett has reached the heights of ridiculousness. Is our defense terrible? ...

NFL Ref Lockout: It’s Going to Get a Lot Worse Before It Gets Better
September 25th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Last week after watching the NFL's replacement refs decide the Redskins vs. St. Louis game (author's note, not that the Redskins would have won with the regular refs but it would have been an entirely different game) I thought that it could get much worse. Well ladies and gentlemen I...
Believe It or not Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen Might Know What They’re Doing
September 19th, 2012 at 9:05 AM
***PHOTO1*** I'm not quite sure when it happened but at some point in the last 15 years or so Redskins' fans began to question everything the front office did. Coaching moves, players moves, and what lawn service Fed Ex Field was using.
No matter the move there was usually a vocal...
The Redskins at St. Louis is an Extreme Example of the NFL Needing to Bring Back the Regular Officials
September 18th, 2012 at 9:51 AM
***PHOTO1*** Unlike some folks out there I'm not going to blame the Redskins 31-28 loss to the Rams on the officials. The officiating on both sides was horrendous. However, I will say the outcome would have been completely different had the regular NFL Refs were overseeing this game.
For one thing...
What Does the Big Win in the Big Easy Mean for the Washington Redskins?
September 12th, 2012 at 10:13 AM
***PHOTO1*** Even though I picked the New Orleans Saints to win this one I was right about something. I said, unlike many so-called experts, that the Washington Redskins could win this game and if they won the turnover battle they'd win the game. Well guess who won the turnover battle. ...

July 29th, 2012 at 6:25 PM
For the first time since January 1, we were able to watch the Washington Redskins live this week—three days in a row. With a news gap of that size, an overload tends follow. This article is focused on the key aspects of the first three days of training camp.
Position Battles:
I think there are...
Washington Redskins 2012 Offseason: the Last Rebuild
July 10th, 2012 at 2:06 PM
Since Mike Shanahan became the Redskins Head Coach, the word "rebuild" has been thrown out non-stop. Sometimes the organization would say they're not rebuilding (and the McNabb signing was supposed to be proof, ha). More recently they have toned down their anti-rebuild rhetoric and accepted what the fans have seen...
Mike Shanahan Compares Washington Redskins’ Niles Paul to Shannon Sharpe
May 16th, 2012 at 3:53 PM
In an interview with ESPN 980, The Sports Fix, Mike Shanahan confirmed that Niles Paul was transitioning to tight end and that he reminded him of Shannon Sharpe.

He gives you a chance to have a difference maker at the tight end position
I hate to compare anybody to a hall of fame...
Should Washington Redskins Fans Worry About Bounty Suspensions?
May 2nd, 2012 at 2:01 PM
Taking a look back at the immense damage done to the New Orleans Saints organization, many worry that the NFL will turn to the Washington Redskins next. Gregg Williams, under Sean Payton, was the one responsible for implementing the program in the Big Easy and it's not only believed, but...
Should Washington Redskins Answer If HBO’s Hard Knocks Comes Calling?
April 24th, 2012 at 8:34 AM
***PHOTO1***
Just this week the Atlanta Falcons became the latest NFL franchise to say "thanks but no thanks" to HBO and their reality football series Hard Knocks.
A few years ago HBO had little trouble nabbing teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City...
Washington Redskins Owner Daniel Snyder Got It Right by not Hiring Gregg Williams
April 6th, 2012 at 8:04 AM
***PHOTO1***
In January of 2008 Joe Gibbs retired for the second time as head coach of the Washington Redskins. The 2007-08 season was a tumultuous one which saw the Redskins yo-yo in and out of play-off contentions all season long and then in the second half of the season saw the...
Could the Washington Redskins Re-Sign Linebacker London Fletcher This Week?
March 26th, 2012 at 10:31 AM
***PHOTO1***
Washington Redskins fans have been in a state of unrest since the NFL's Free Agency period began almost two weeks ago. The unrest comes at the fact that free agent Pro Bowl middle linebacker London Fletcher has yet to be re-signed.
When the Redskins' dismal season came to a close last...
The Redskins Caught up in the NFL’s Bounty Scandal
March 6th, 2012 at 1:23 PM
***PHOTO1***
Since new broke late Friday evening about former New Orleans Saints' (and Redskins') defensive coordinator Gregg Williams and his bounty for "taking players out" I've stewed over it trying to come up with a position.
On one hand it sounds pretty disgusting to hear about coaches paying players to hurt other...
Washington Redskins Bounty Hunted During Gregg Williams’ Tenure; What’s Your Take?
March 3rd, 2012 at 3:22 PM
No question, the NFL is a violent, sometimes dirty league. To further separate themselves from this image, the NFL has taken action against questionable offenses (normally "dirty" hits). Now it appears the league has caught on to a bigger problem. Gregg Williams is being investigated for his "bonus" system, where players earned incentives for a variety of reasons, in both Washington and New Orleans.

So far, both Phillip...
Phillip Daniels on Washington Redskins Again; This Time as Director of Player Development
February 17th, 2012 at 5:05 PM
***PHOTO1*** First off, we all recognize Phillip Daniels as a true, prideful Washington Redskin; it must be said -- He's a great guy. He will end up being a great coach, and it's extremely nice to have him back. The Redskins have announced his hiring as Director of Player Development.
He's in touch with the Redskins' young players. And the coaches are probably banking on Phillip keeping them...
A Fan Posts a Story on a Popular Redskin Site That Sends Twitter into a Tizzy
February 8th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
***PHOTO1***
Last night as I was cruising through Twitter I noticed that our good friends over at Hogs Haven had posted a link on their Twitter account (@Hogshaven) to a story a fan wrote. The key word there is fan, in their Twitter posting they even stated that it was a...
