With all the heat Coach Jim Zorn has faced for the team's lack of scoring on offense, the Redskins' defense also has been a major disappointment through the first three games.

"I thought it would be a little better than it's feeling," Campbell said. "I still feel it a little bit, but it was worse against Detroit. I'm not really worried about it." In the 19-14 loss...

Will the Redskins ever win with under Snyder?

When it comes to examining the Washington Redskins, let’s take our foot off Jim Zorn’s neck for a second shall we?

Moving on to Tampa Bay and Week 4: 7 Pointers
