The last time I saw Saint Nick, he wasn’t exactly in the jolliest of moods. In fact, he appeared fairly miserable while watching the hometown New York Giants self destruct against the Washington Redskins.
He wasn’t shouting obscenity-laced tirades like the bulk of the other fans in attendance at MetLife Stadium last weekend, [...]

Redskins wide receiver Jabar Gaffney had six catches for 77 yards and a spectacular one-handed grab on a four-yard touchdown reception Saturday in a 33-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, giving him a new career high in receiving yardage.
Gaffney, a 10-year veteran out of Florida in his first season with Washington, now has 919 receiving yards, surpassing the 875 he had a year ago...

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...

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.

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...

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 ...

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 ...

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...
