Ever wonder what an NFL player wants for Christmas? How about what some of the Redskins receiving corps wanted when they were kids? “I used to get Micro Machines all the time, so those were always good,” Anthony Armstrong. “And there was one time where I got my brother’s gift. I asked for the other gift, but he got it.” Santana Moss didn’t get the gift he really wanted to give himself. “I remember one gift that I wanted that I couldn’t get,” he said. “I wanted some gold teeth one time. I saved my money up to get ‘em, I’m about to go get ‘em, and I didn‘t tell my parents, and just something told me just let ‘em know I’m fittin’ to get some golds, and Mom was like, ‘Go ahead, because when you come your stuff will be outside.’ … So I spent the money on something else.” Instead, he told News4, he used tinfoil to pretend he had gold teeth for a while.

Graham Gano is perfect again

After a shaky first three months of the season, the Redskins’ field goal unit finally seems to have regained some stability.

Redskins secondary aims to continue interception upswing

Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and his defensive backs have said all season that interceptions come in bunches and if they continued to do their jobs effectively, eventually they would experience a breakthrough. The Redskins finally had that day last week against the New York Giants, when they intercepted Eli Manning a season’s-best three times. Cornerbacks...

RB Roy Helu will not play Saturday

The Washington Redskins will be without starting running back Roy Helu, who was limited in practice this week by knee and toe injuries. Helu had hoped to play and said on Thursday that he felt “a lot better,” but coaches obviously consider him unable to play effectively Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. Fellow rookie Evan Royster is expected to start in place of Helu. Read...

Helu, Brown questionable vs. Vikings

The Washington Redskins have listed starting running back Roy Helu and starting right tackle Jammal Brown as questionable for their game Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings. Helu, hampered by knee and toe injuries, and Brown, who has missed the last two games because of a strained groin, were limited in practice this week. Both players have said they are hopeful that they can...

Halftime Report From FedExField

AP Image In the last two weeks Darrel Young has gone from an unsung hero in the blocking game, to being a weapon and playmaker on offense.  On the Redskins touchdown drive early in the second quarter, Young caught two passes for 33 yards.  At the time, he was the team’s top receiver, and it was Young’s top receiving day, ever. Not a bad offensive performance for a former...

Redskins vs. Vikings: 5 Questions

1. How will Roy Helu's injuries affect his impact? The rookie running back appeared on the injury report this week after totaling 116 touches in the last four games. Knee and toe injuries slowed him against the Giants last Sunday. The Redskins could limit his carries and give Evan Royster ...

DALY: Jekyll and Hyde Redskins hit new low

ANALYSIS/OPINION This time, there was nowhere for the Washington Redskins to hide. Injuries? Heck, the Minnesota Vikings lost their All-Pro running back (Adrian Peterson) and starting quarterback (rookie Christian Ponder) on the first two snaps of the second half. Nothing to play for? Who has less to play for than ...

First Quarter Impressions

AP Image Much like last week, the Redskins turned the ball over early, but not because of aggressive play call down the field.  Instead, it came via a breakdown in protection that led to a sack-fumble.  The defense had a stellar stand, yielding two yard, but the Vikings were already in field goal range. Vikings kicker Ryan Longwell doesn’t miss those: 3-0. Running back Evan...

After last weekend’s win vs. the Giants and the Browns loss to the Cards, Washington slipped out of fourth pick down to 7th. Then yesterday we find out that Matt Barkley has decided to stay for his senior year at USC, which makes things that much harder for us to pick a QB. After taking stock of the teams expected to have the top 7 picks and their needs, here’s how I...
