Former Redskins safety Vernon Fox is a former Redskins player, a Redskins fan, and a Redskins analyst. But he is not a Redskins apologist, as he offers his weekly perspective on the direction of the team.
His advice to the players? Keep swingin’.
His advice to fans? Hang in there.
One of the highlights of this week’s assessment is his tip of the cap to Redskins linebacker London Fletcher.
“Listen, this is the sign of a key iron man,” Fox said of his former teammate. ”This guy went out and still played in the game injured. Now there are guys all over the league that struggle with hamstring injuries, that are out multiple weeks. He went out and fought through the pain, had 19 tackles, an interception, and a half sack. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
Here’s Fox’s take on what everyone should do to ride out the rough patch:

A recent post by Dr. Aaron of “Joe Sports Fan” blog captured our attention, because it discusses almost everything you’d ever want to know about Redskins defensive end Adam Carriker.
Carriker is having a beastly start to 2011, already accumulating more sacks (4.5) than he had in his career combined (3.5). He is also on track to break his season-high...
Redskins re-sign CB Brandyn Thompson to practice squad
The Washington Redskins have re-signed rookie cornerback Brandyn Thompson to their practice squad two days after waiving him to make room on the 53-man roster for running back Tashard Choice.
Thompson had been called up to the game day roster from the practice squad for Sunday’s contest against Buffalo because veteran Phillip Buchanon was nursing knee and neck injuries. He didn’t...
Five questions facing the struggling Redskins in Week 9
If they weren’t there already, the Washington Redskins have reached the point of desperation.
A win on Sunday against the 6-1 San Francisco 49ers would give the team a huge lift and keep it from sliding too far out of contention. A loss, however, would drop Coach Mike Shanahan’s team to 3-5 and put the Redskins in danger of sliding into last place in the NFC East.
