We have watched NFL football for 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, maybe more and some concepts have stood the test of time as being absolute true. Quarterbacks do not win many games or have long careers when they are getting hit often. When a quarterback sustains the punishment...

Tre' Johnson was one of the special few Redskins who served significant time under both Jack Kent Cooke and Daniel Snyder, and who thus had a baseline to compare the two experiences. "Understand, man, my first seven or so years with the Skins, it was all under Norv Turner...
ON THIS DAY RECAP- 10/10/2004; Simms, no Griese new Bucs QB!

I read Jason Reid's Analysis Behind the Sherman Lewis Hiring and shake my head.
Leave it to Daniel Snyder to make the wrong move at the wrong time.

That's the huge question surrounding the team as it returns to practice today.
Fears of an emotional hangover are justified after the 33-31 loss to the Giants on Sunday night. A lot was put into the opening of Cowboys Stadium, so it's possible the team could be a bit sluggish...
