Washington Redskins Contract Analysis Part 2: Defense
At the beginning of this week, I looked at the salaries of the Redskins offensive players and went in-depth to look at some potential candidates for release. This takes a similar look at the defensive side of the ball.Defensive Front Seven (unrestricted free agency year): NT Barry Cofield (2017), DT Stephen Bowen (2016), DT Jarvis Jenkins (2015), NT Chris Neild (2015), LB Ryan...

Boneheads – - NFL Variety
Perusing my clipboard document where I keep material for these rants, I think I have sufficient material to dedicate an entire rant today to a few NFL players who have been boneheads over the past weeks. I will not dwell on Washington Redskins’ starters, Fred Davis and Trent Williams, who failed three substance abuse tests and found themselves suspended for the final four games...

All-Pro Fletcher Finally Honolulu-Bound
AP Image
Happy Lon-day afternoon, everyone.
On the first weekend of the offseason for linebacker London Fletcher, it was an exciting one, as he was named to the All-Pro team late Friday, and added to the Pro Bowl roster early this afternoon.
I believe the phrase goes, “Better late than never.”
Fletcher is finally enjoying his just deserts, following the best statistical...

Washington Redskins Contract Analysis
If the Washington Redskins have any sustainable competitive advantage over another NFL team, it is that they have consistently written team friendly contracts over the last two seasons. Whether it is through their foresight to leverage the uncapped year to their advantage with deals for DeAngelo Hall and Albert Haynesworth, or their ability to spend a lot in free agency without...

Eagles v. Redskins, Sunday, January 1, 2012
Celebrate that TD, Chad!
The game may have been “meaningless,” but it sure was nice to end the season with a win. Actually, 4 wins.
Stud of the week: other guys posted bigger numbers, but I have to give it to pint-sized Chad Hall, who scored his first NFL TD on Sunday, and did it by plowing over Perry Riley and DeAngelo Hall, who...

Skins-Eagles Winners & Losers
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...

A Fourth Quarter Farewell To 2011

Looking strictly at the scoreboard of today’s game, there aren’t a whole lot of positives to take away. ’Pride games’ are supposed to end in wins–or at least near misses. Not 24-point deficits.
But to focus exclusively on the score wouldn’t really be the story of this season. The story of this season was–and has always been...

Redskins Stumble to Season-Ending Loss
The Redskins wrapped up a disappointing 2011 season with a disappointing loss, as they fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 34-10 Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
The Redskins finished the season 5-11, one game worse than 2010's 6-10 mark. That record is the worst of Mike Shanahan's NFL head coaching tenure. The loss was Washington's biggest of...

Wait ‘til next year--again
When DeAngelo Hall came to the Washington Redskins midway through the 2008 season as a free agent who had been cut by the Oakland Raiders, the Redskins – then coached by Jim Zorn – owned a 6-2 record. But they stumbled, going 2-6 to finish 8-8.
Hall recalls how he and his teammates entered that offseason saying “hopefully next year will be our year.”

Redskins secondary aims to continue interception upswing
Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett and his defensive backs have said all season that interceptions come in bunches and if they continued to do their jobs effectively, eventually they would experience a breakthrough.
The Redskins finally had that day last week against the New York Giants, when they intercepted Eli Manning a season’s-best three times. Cornerbacks...

Rolle Backs Down From Percentage Odds
If the Redskins have only a one-to-five percent chance of beating the Giants, then they must be one of the luckiest teams ever.
That’s what Giants safety Antrel Rolle had to accept, following his team’s second loss to the Redskins in as many chances. With his trash talking turned to bad math, he finally had to admit that the Redskins were the better team this year (via CSNWashington...

Redskins Crush Giants
The Washington Redskins pummeled the New York Giants 23-10. This was a game that I would not have minded so much if the Redskins lost because that would mean the Giants and Cowboys would be tied for 1st place, but instead the Redskins play like a different team and win! The Giants were 20 points behind until a last minute TD. With the Cowboys beating the Bucs (wow that must...

DeAngelo Hall finally addresses Patriots game
Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall didn’t speak with reporters in the days following the Redskins’ loss to the New England Patriots. But his play against the Patriots — which featured Hall stopping on Rob Gronkowski’s 49-yard reception and later throwing an officials’ yellow flag — came up in Sunday’s post-game locker room.

In This Season of Giving, Giants Don’t Give Fans Much to Cheer About
By Jon Wagner
On the Sunday before Hanukkah and Christmas, the New York Giants inexplicably played flatter than potato pancakes and ginger bread cookies.
Yet, even more incredibly, they still control their own playoff destiny after losing for the fifth time in six games during the second half of the regular season.
Only now, there’s no more room for error, as New York (7-7) must...

Redskins Make Eli Look Ordinary - Again
You can’t spell elite without Eli, but don’t tell that to the Redskins.
Eli Manning may have emerged as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks in 2011, yet Washington made the Giants quarterback look downright ordinary, intercepting three of his passes and severely damaging New York’s playoff chances with a 23-10 win.
The Redskins clearly relished their chance...

Redskins hurt Giants playoff bid with 23-10 win
If only the Redskins could play the Giants every week.
That's what Washington's players were thinking Sunday after upsetting the Giants 23-10, damaging New York's playoff chances and sweeping the season series.
Washington dominated almost from the outset, even though Rex Grossman threw two long interceptions in the first quarter. The Redskins (5-9) pretty much settled...

Third Quarter Thoughts

Halftime is the enemy of any team with momentum, because they risk cooling off in the locker room.
But the Redskins are sizzling like fajitas in the second half, with DeAngelo Hall picking off Eli Manning on the second play from scrimmage. The interception was a one-handed beauty, good for Hall’s third pick of the year and 35th of his career.
This is only the second...

- Manning tried to force a pass to Hakeem Nicks in double coverage, but Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall came away with it. The second act has been more of the same so far.
