Coming off of a 4-12 season in 2009, the Washington Redskins are eager to put the Jim Zorn era behind them as they start afresh with a new front office, coaching staff, and roster. There's plenty of new faces in our Nation's Capital and that is probably a good thing, considering last year's roster lacked playmakers. If you looked across the Redskins' roster in 2009, you couldn't point to many players who ...

This is the final article in a three-part series discussing what the Washington Redskins must accomplish in 2010 to contend for a Super Bowl. The first article focused on the health of Donovan McNabb and the new-look offensive line while the second previewed the new 3-4 base defense.   Consistency at Wide Receiver Since 2005, Santana Moss is the only Redskins receiver who has hauled in over 1,000 yards in a single season ...

With all the talk surrounding Albert Haynesworth and his less than certain future with the Redskins, everyone is overlooking the fact that Washington has managed to compile a solid group of players along the defensive line. Vonnie Holliday , Adam Carriker , Ma'ake Kemoeatu , Anthony Bryant and Howard Green are amongst the new faces who will be hunkering down up front in the Redskins new 3-4 scheme. ...

  By the time the NFL offseason hits late May, interesting football news is hard to come by. The free agent market has dried up and ESPN has begun the annual Brett Favre watch. I will not succumb to discussing whether No. 4 will return for another season. Nor will I break down every possible scenario in the Albert Haynesworth stand-off (the way things look now, it appears as if Haynesworth will ...

With Philadelphia Eagles QB Donovan McNabb being dealt to the Washington Redskins for a second-round pick in 2010 and a third- or fourth-rounder in 2011, the order in the NFC East has been thrown out of balance. Washington had seemingly settled into preparing for the future this offseason. They had stayed relatively quiet, making a few low-profile moves to bolster some of the weaker spots on the roster. However, Washington wasn't kidding ...

Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis certainly didn't receive a free pass when new head coach Mike Shanahan came to town in January. Shanahan came to the Redskins announcing that there would be competition at every position this offseason. After signing Willie Parker and Larry Johnson off the free agent market in the last month, Shanahan is certainly making stiff competition for Portis. Shanahan had some words in reference to Portis during his introductory press conference back in January that really stuck with me. While he ...

Recent rumors have linked the Washington Redskins to NFL draft prospect Tim Tebow. Of course, with the rumors has come plenty of speculation as to what the Redskins drafting Tebow would mean for the franchise. Needless to say, the hype surrounding Tebow has only increased as the draft approaches. The team who selects Tebow will be hounded by reporters for days as the sports world tries in vain to discover what their plans are for Tebow’s career. Tebow is an average guy in ...

This is one in a series of articles examining free agents who could potentially be pursued by the Washington Redskins this offseason. Every free agent class has its crown jewel; the player that every team covets. Last year Albert Haynesworth was king of the hill when several teams offered him upwards of $100 million.However, this year, many of the top free agents are being affected by the likelihood of an ...

The unthinkable has happened here in Washington. The Redskins have announced a coaching change. Mike Shanahan was named the Redskins head coach after nearly a year of speculation that he would take the job. I remember reading a Pro Football Talk post last spring that detailed Dan Snyder's attraction to Mike Shanahan and how Snyder would land him in 2010. This, of course, has happened. But ...

The Washington Redskins haven't experienced much success this past decade, and last Monday night was an ode to the pain and suffering this once-proud franchise hasá undergone. With the Redskins losing 45-12 to the rival New York Giants in the waning minutes of the fourth quarter in a meaningless game, one could look out into the stadium bowl and see a sea of blue. Redskin fans were long gone; Giants fans ...
