Redskins Insider:
Limited by injuries and reduced to a backup in three of the last four games, Washington Redskins free safety Oshiomogho Atogwe finally felt like his old self Sunday against the Giants.
Coaches again decided to start rookie DeJon Gomes, but early in the game brought Atogwe off the bench, and the eighth-year veteran played the bulk of the game. Turning in one of his best outings of the season, Atogwe made six tackles, broke up two passes and recorded his second interception of the season.

Will Ryan Kerrigan Win Defensive Rookie of the Year?
The Redskins didn’t do much right defensively in 2010. Amidst a tricky transition to the 3-4 defense, the unit finished the season ranked 31st. The change in philosophy was made more difficult by the lack of true 3-4 personnel, and so naturally Mike Shanahan made wholesale changes during the offseason.
It started in the draft when Shanahan passed on several quarterbacks and...
Neild Brings Hess Trucking Joy To Fans
By now, many of you are familiar with Redskins nose tackle Chris Neild, and the nickname “Truck” that he acquired in the fifth grade.
Perhaps not surprisingly, trucks were a favorite toy of Neild’s growing up. Each Christmas he would thunder downstairs to find a new Hess truck under the tree. His sister even called him “Hess” from time to time, a...
Clinton Portis on Tim Tebow
Having transcribed more Clinton Portis radio interviews than possibly any living human, I was thrilled to learn that the former Redskins star would be on both Mike & Mike and Colin Cowherd’s program during a Tuesday trip to Bristol.
