Well, at least that’s over. Here are labels for the 34-10 beating at Philly. Winners Brian Orakpo — Picked up two sacks and a forced fumble, which is pretty much his greatest game ever vs. an NFC East foe. Evan Royster — Picked up over five yards/carry and recorded 167 total yards (giving him 314 in two starts). The highlight was a 28-yard run in which he evaded four or five tacklers and then fell over. Roy Helu — Had a 47-yard TD despite a bad wheel that prompted Ron Pitts to say, “He is definitely gimping.” Gimping! Draft position — With the loss, the Skins appear headed for sixth. Losers Danny Smith — Special teams were a hot mess in so many ways: holding on a fair catch, shanking a punt, committing multiple block-in-the-back penalties on one return, giving up a big punt return and, of course, allowing yet another blocked field goal, their fifth of the season. Fire Danny Smith. Kyle Shanahan — I don’t know who to blame...

For the second time in as many weeks, rookie running back Evan Royster posted a 100-yard game. But his performance in Sunday’s 34-10 loss at Philadelphia was considerably more difficult. Royster played with sore ribs and had to be redryated intravenously during the game, at one point visiting the locker room midway through the third quarter. Still, he finished with 113 yards on...

AP Image Prior to two weeks ago, Brian Orakpo was the team’s leader in sacks during his tenure with the team, having never registered a full sacked on a division quarterback.  Against the Giants, he brought Eli Manning down for the first of his career.  Against the Eagles, he took care of things early, “Orakpo-ing” Michael Vick on his first third down pressure...

Redskins End Season Last in NFC East

Via Pro Sports Blogging  |  January 02, 2012
No surprise here.  The Redskins were blasted by Vick’s 3 TDs in the 4th quarter to be beaten 34-10.  Maybe the Skins would fair better if there were only 3 quarters as they consistently lose steam in the 4th. What Shanahan has been doing over the last few weeks where it’s clear there were no playoff hopes was to put players in, that normally wouldn’t see any play...
