TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants
The Redskins had their opportunity to take over the Eastern Division this season as the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants all took turns putting up disastrous losing streaks and leaving the door wide open... But too bad for Mike Shanahan and the 'Skins, after an early burst of promise, their season hit the skids. RB Ryan Torain has been released from the team. And to add insult to injury, ILB veteran great London Fletcher was snubbed in the Pro Bowl voting.And the guy who promised a Division title --- QB Rex Grossman --- has struggled to put up a lousy 73.3 passer rating this season.
Rex Grossman may play his final game with the Washington Redskins on Sunday at Philadelphia. The quarterback is not signed for next season and the team looks likely to draft his replacement come April. Yet, Grossman was undeterred on Wednesday over the future. He expects to return to Washington and start next season.
"My confidence level is at an all-time high," he said. "I just need to e...

Rex Grossman’s confidence ‘is at an all-time high’
As he enters the final game of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles, Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman said that his confidence is “at an all-time high.”
Grossman has thrown 15 touchdown passes and 2,895 yards – both the second-highest totals for his career -- and has completed 58.8 of his passes (a career best). But he also has 19 interceptions – he has thrown at least...
Gaffney’s Grab Makes ESPN Top Plays
On Saturday, receiver Jabar Gaffney tied his career-high in touchdown receptions (5, New England 2007), and did it in spectacular fashion.
With six minutes left in the third quarter and the ball at the Vikings 5-yard line, Grossman dropped back to pass. Gaffney did a simple slant from the right side, and got one-on-one coverage in the middle of the end zone. Grossman fired the...
NFL Pro Bowl Voting Seems Tainted
I thought the NFL Pro Bowl was a reward to the best players of the season at each position? As it turns out, that’s not the case. A prime example here would be the Washington Redskins’ LB London Fletcher. He led the league with 162 tackles while the Pro Bowl honors went to Patrick Willis for the San Francisco 49ers,36th, on the tackles list with 93 and Brian Urlacher, 38th...
Evan Royster brings competition to RB spot
Redskins running back Evan Royster was born in Fairfax and attended high school at Westfield in Chantilly, so he had plenty of family and friends around for the holidays. Though he hasn’t yet studied tape of his breakout performance against Minnesota Saturday, his family made sure to have a replay of the game going during Christmas dinner, he said.

No Redskins picked for Pro Bowl
The 5-10 Washington Redskins did not have a single player named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster that was announced Tuesday night.
Inside linebacker London Fletcher

Redskins injury report: Helu remains limited
Redskins rookie running back Roy Helu said earlier Wednesday that he feels a lot better and “absolutely” expects to play Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. But Helu was one of five players limited in practice, according to the team’s injury report.

Alexander Pays Dues For His Alma Mater
Special teams captain Lorenzo Alexander is a native of Berkley, Calif. and a proud former California Golden Bear. Only one thing could ever make him wear the colors of another team, and his name is Brian Orakpo.
The story behind the wardrobe dysfunction stems from last night’s game Holiday Bowl game between Alexander’s Bears and Orakpo’s Longhorns. Orakpo–...

Last May, Yasmine Arrington, a senior at Benjamin Banneker High School, was in the middle of one of the last math tests that she would take in high school, when she was paged to the office. Certain that she had heard the announcement wrong, and focused on the test, she tried to concentrate on the problem on the paper.
Then she was paged again. And again...
DALY: Wins override merit when it comes to Pro Bowl selection
ANALYSIS/OPINION: Once a year, the NFL and its legions of fans remind us that the Washington Redskins barely exist. This message is delivered, painfully and publicly, on NFL Network's Pro Bowl Selection Show. Most seasons, the Redskins are thrown a crumb or two — which is bad enough — but ...
Redskins' Mike Shanahan started scouting college QBs at midseason
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan acknowledged Friday he began watching game film of college quarterbacks at midseason. It's no secret that the Redskins need improved quarterback play — Rex Grossman is tied for the NFL lead with 24 turnovers in only 12 starts — so Shanahan's admission is not necessarily ...
