In honor of the upcoming Veteran’s Day celebrations, Redskins fullback Darrel Young spent his Tuesady at the Westin Hotel at Tysons Corner for the “Salute Our Heroes” luncheon.”
Young joined former Redskin Rick “Doc” Walker at the event, which was hosted for military members and their families.
Events with veterans, or current military personnel, have special importance for Young, because his brother is in the military.
“I’m a little more sensitive to those guys because I know what they go through,” Young said. “Anytime people dedicate and devote their lives to this country I’m always willing to do stuff for them.”
While Young runs around on the football field for a living, his brother is always in the back of his mind. Young is well aware that there are more important things than football.
“He’s actually down in Fort Bragg, getting ready to be sent to Fort Hood Texas, probably going to have to get sent to Afghanistan next year, we’ll see,” Young said.

Mike Shanahan is mum on Sunday’s starting RB
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he was pleased with the play of rookie Roy Helu in Helu’s first professional start, but the coach declined to say whether the Nebraska product would start next week against Miami.
Helu had a franchise record 14 catches – most of them on dump-off passes from John Beck -- for 105 yards and carried the ball 10 times for 41 yards in Washington’s...
Doc Walker on John Beck
Doc Walker had some fairly critical comments about John Beck during Sunday’s Redskins Radio Network broadcast, suggesting immediately after the game that Rex Grossman would have given the team a better chance to win.
Almost a full 24 hours later, Walker appeared on ESPN 980’s morning-after Skins show, and by that point his comments had intensified.

Washington Redskins strong safety LaRon Landry missed practice on Wednesday because of a sore left Achilles’ tendon. It’s the same Achilles that forced Landry to miss the final seven weeks of last season and kept him from earning his first trip to the Pro Bowl.

Lots of Roster Changes
Shanahan is making changes but this being week 10 I’m not sure how much or little it will help.
The Redskins have released WR Donte Stallworth, DE Darrion Scott, TE Dominique Byrd, CB Brandyn Thompson and RB Tristan Davis (practice squad).
New signings to the Redskins: DL Kentwan Balmer (49ers, Panthers), WR David Anderson (Texans) and CB Domonique Johnson.
The Patriots have...
Where have you gone Anthony Armstrong?
Anthony Armstrong became a Miami Dolphins sensation during OTAs of 2009.
The former Arena League standout, who had just spent the past season on the Dolphins’ practice squad, was unstoppable on offense when the team wasn’t wearing pads.
The Texas speedster could get behind any defensive back with ease, and if the ball was put on the money Armstrong typically delivered a big...
How Alex is attempting to emulate Brady
In Monday's Washington Post there was a wonderful picture - if "wonderful" is the appropriate word - of the sack Redskins rookie linebacker Ryan Kerrigan had on quarterback Alex Smith in the first quarter of the Niners' 19-11 win.
In the photo, Kerrigan's helmet is seemingly imbedded in the...

Target Practice, Week 9: Roy Helu had a rather busy day
OK, this couldn't possibly have been Washington's game-plan against the Niners: Roy Helu saw as many pass targets on Sunday (17) as all of the Redskins' wide receivers combined (Gaffney 5, Hankerson 5, Austin 5, Armstrong 1, Paul 1).
Washington quarterback John Beck seemed to be acutely aware — perhaps too aware — of the prior week's sack total. Beck was dropped...
