The Redskins near-win against the New Orleans Saints is both encouraging and worrying. It’s encouraging because the team showed what many of us knew to be true—given competent play-calling and time, the team would improve enough over the course of the season that it would be ready to contend with the best in the NFL by year’s end. While many things have gone wrong for the Redskins ...

Barring a remarkable turnaround, the 2009 Washington Redskins season is basically over.

Much has been made of the impotence of the Washington Redskins offense this season. Frankly, I'm tired of writing about it. So I'm going to rant about the defense for a while.Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Blache gets a lot of credit for a job well done on defense due to his high rankings (see below) on defense.But should he?The Redskins rank sixth overall in yards allowed per game, sandwiched between ...

Redskins quarterback Jason Campbell is a riddle wrapped in an enigma. There are some things everyone can agree on regarding the former Auburn signal-caller. Campbell is poised in the pocket, has a cannon for a right arm, has good feet, and is one of the classiest players in the NFL. Good feet considered, Campbell has still yet to find a foothold in the NFL, and this is where ...

ItÆs the bye week in Washington and since weÆre halfway through another Redskins season, it seems it's time to talk about next year. HereÆs what we know: Head coach Jim Zorn will be fired.
