With the announcement that Fred Davis out for the year with a torn Achilles, Most fans were excited about the return of Captain Chaos, aka Chris Cooley.  I think they should be excited about the new kid on the block Logan Paulsen. Cooley who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2004 NFL draft became a cornerstone to the Redskins offense having 6+ TD’s in his first 4 seasons and racking up 2,608 yards on 241 receptions. Then came the 2009 season. On October 26, 2009, in a game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Chris Cooley broke his ankle. But Captain Chaos was certain he would come back quickly from this injury Cooley even commented on Twitter that the break may not be as bad as originally thought, and that he could possibly return in as little as four weeks. However Redskins team doctors disagreed and in November, Cooley was officially placed on injured reserve. In 2010 Cooley returned, and seemed to be 100% starting in all 16 games catching 77 balls for 849 yards and 3 touchdowns. H...

Teams get pass-happy vs. Redskins porous defense

Passing yards are easy to come by when playing the Washington Redskins, to the point where other teams have figured out they don't need to run the ball nearly as much. On first-and-10, the opposition is throwing 58.8 percent of the time, gaining a heel-rocking 8.4 yards per pass. It's pretty easy to keep a drive going when faced with a second-and-1 or second-and-2. That...
