No, it isn't a lesson on how to coach a stupid comeback in a stupidágame you should have lost.á Payton can teach Zorn, and the Washington Redskins too if they care to learn it, that you are better than they say you are and that life goes on. The Redskins are notátheálast stop in Jim Zorn'sácoaching career. Payton was considered a bust asáoffensive coordinator of the 2002áNew York Giants. Yet, here he ...

One of the perverse pleasures of the season is watching Daniel Snyder squirm.áHis decision about the Washington Redskins' nextáquarterback will be his third-most important of the offseason, after his decision for the 2010 GM and head coach. Almost everything tilts in Snyder's favor when it comes to Jason Campbell. With the season five weeks from a merciful end, Daniel Snyder expects to sweep out the old and bring in the new, we ...

I was invited to hostáComcast SportsNet'sáLive Chat for the Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles game today. Here are four things I learned about the Skins after chatting with fans: Redskin fans like this Redskin team. Fans said the Redskins are playing with a greater sense of teamwork and heart since the second half of the Atlanta Falcons game. Washington is still losing but the subs are a scrappy bunch who ...

The Washington Redskins face the Philadelphia Eagles in a NFC East contest on a chilly day at Lincoln Financial Field. The best that can be said for the Redskins is that they can win. Not that anyone expects them to. The Redskins are 10 point underdogs to the Eagles. But Washington's effort against the Cowboys stokes the dying embers of hope that something good can emerge from the season. The best chance ...

It's something you want to forget, but take a moment to remember Sean Taylor.á The former Reskins safety was a promising young man and a rising star who was painfully snatched from his friends and family two years ago today. Taylor emerged as the hard hitting face of the Washington Redskins defense, supplanting LaVar Arrington in that role. No one has replaced Taylor Taylor was allegedly shot and killed in his home ...

The popular topic on Washington sports talk radio yesterday was whether the Redskins' loss to the Dallas Cowboys was the worst in Redskin history. In the debate that followed, I did not hear the most galling reason of all: Washington's failure to add to the lore of Redskins and Cowboys. Washington blew its one chance to deal a setback to Dallas inátheir first appearance at $1 Billion Cowboys Stadium. In a shutout. To knock ...

The Washington Redskins signed running back Marcus Mason to a new contract.á The Washington area native will be in uniform for Sunday's game with the Philadelphia Eagles. The signing is a "done deal" according to Chris Russel, Redskins beat reporter for 106.7 FM THE FAN who related the news on The Mike Wise Show this afternoon. There are no other media reports about the Redskins and Mason yet, but the team has ...

Dennis Green's famous rant is the best summation of the Washington Redskins 7-6 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. You know the one: they are what we thought they were and we let 'em off the hook and stuff. I'm not going to focus on the two missed field goalsùShaun Suisham's first two of the seasonùor the three first halfáturnovers the Skins could have made. There will be enough of that over the ...

I love it when Brian Orakpo writes my stories for me. The Washington Redskins rookie defensive end/linebacker is up for Weeká10 Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week following his five-tackle, one-and-a-half sack performance against the Denver Broncos. He has seven sacks on the season. (H/T to David Elfin, Redskins 360 for the pointer.) Fan votes are tabulated on NFL.com through noon on Friday, Nov. 20. It is the second consecutive week Orakpo has ...

Scratch Jon Gruden from the wish list of potential head coaches for the Washington Redskins. Gruden found a new voice on Monday Night Football and signed a lucrative multi-year contract with ESPN to continue. That development might be good news for current Redskinsáhead coach Jim Zorn. á I suspect that Daniel Snyder's adolescent rageáover the Redskins performance last month was a huge turn-off for the big name coaches Snyder targeted as replacements. Snyder's entreaties ...
