London Fletcher Touches Down In Hawaii

Found January 25, 2012 on Redskins Blog:
TEAMS: Washington Redskins

In anticipation of his role in this Sunday’s Pro Bowl, Redskins linebacker London Fletcher has landed in the Honolulu International Airport, where he was greeted by Redskins fans. He shared pictures and thoughts via his Twitter account (@LFletcher59): “Aloha! HTTR!” said the first tweet, followed shortly by, “I love the fans!“ Click to view slideshow. This is the third-consecutive Pro Bowl appearance for the Iron Man, following a season in which he led the NFL in tackles.  Fletcher is the lone representative for the Redskins this year, with several other players finishing as alternates. Last year, the Pro Bowl was moved to Miami, Fla. due to contract issues, and to coincide with the Super Bowl.  After much consternation, the game was moved back to Hawaii, and will be played in the open NFL weekend between the playoff Championship Weekend and the Super Bowl. Congratulations London, and hang loose in the Aloha State!

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  January 25, 2012
We love you, Rex Grossman.  We really do.  We admire the fact that you can go from starter, to backup, to starter, to Super Bowl, to backup, to starter, to backup, to kind of starter and just take it like a man.  Mike Shanahan has not exactly given Grossman a long leash since he named him the starter in favor of Donovan McNabb last season.  Somehow, Rex has kept on ticking....

Day Two From the Senior Bowl: South Practice

Via Bears Claws  |  January 24, 2012
  Here are my observations from watching the South team practice this afternoon:   Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan and his staff sent the South team through their first full-padded practice this afternoon at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.
