(photo by Brian Murphy) Look, I understand why Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan felt obligated to switch from Rex Grossman to John Beck after his starting quarterback threw four interceptions in a single game. When an offensively-challenged offense like Washington’s is that careless with the football, there’s zero chance of victory. But my biggest issue with Shanahan’s [...]

Kyle Shanahan, the vertical offense, and Rex Grossman

Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has both been a lighting rod for criticism with regards to the remarkable ineffectiveness of the Redskins offense this year and a person caught in between a role of leadership and one where he has to hold the company line on a sinking ship.  It's not a fun position that the younger Shanahan occupies right now in Washington...

Santana Moss on Rex Grossman

After Rex Grossman got benched against the Eagles, he strongly advocated Grossman keep his starting job, saying “that’s not even something that should be asked,” and that Grossman “deserves to start.” Some fans thought that was just what any teammate would say about his starting QB, but it felt considerably stronger than that to me.

When’s he going to get a shot?’” Royster said with a laugh. “I just...

NFL offenses must take risks to score points: throwing the deep ball

Sunday’s win was a milestone for the 2011 Redskins. Not only did it snap a losing streak, it also marked the first complete team win of the season. Nearly all facets of the team contributed positively—offense, defense, running game and passing game. Only the kick protection and offensive line stood out as weak spots. Although Rex Grossman was sacked only once, he was victimized...
