Redskins have other glaring needs other than quarterback
The Washington Redskins are ready to start gearing up for the new season and prove the critics wrong who have them again named as one of the worst teams in the NFL. While all the talk has been about the quarterback situation and whether the team will go and draft Robert Griffin, III or take a chance of Peyton Manning, who through latest reports would love to play in Washington, there...

Washington Redskins: Extreme Makeover for the Wide Receiver Position?
Last week we graded out the 2011 Washington Redskins Wide Receivers, which you can view here. The position needs one of those “Extreme Makeovers.” The offense is in total “retooling mode” (we as an organization don’t use that other word), and next to Quarterback, the receiver position is a major need.
Here’s the 2011 Washington Redskins Wr’s:

FORECLOSURE BLUES?
Santana Moss selling $5.2M house for $2.3M
Did you buy a house in 2006 at the top of the housing bubble? You still living in that house? You paying on a house that’s $3mm underwater? Would you blame Santana Moss if he quit paying on his house near Ft. Lauderdale? Not us. Dude has to be careful with his cash. Losing that house doesn’t mean much. But, it’s another thing that the IRS wants money Moss seems to owe...

Qualifying NFL Championship Weekend
As always, there were some very interesting tidbits from yesterday’s AFC and NFC Championship action. I encourage each of you to proceed with perspective.
For the glass-half empty Redskins fan, another weekend of football was just a reminder that their beloved Redskins are at home watching the playoffs. Watching four teams with Redskins ties take the field was enough to...

Redskins Santana Moss Mansion in Foreclosure..Owes $260K in Back Taxes
It appears Moss is going the T.O. route with his finances.
It isn’t unusual for entertainers and athletes to just stop paying on houses they don’t want and let the bank take control of the property. Hopefully that is the case with Moss.
The home of Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss has been flagged for foreclosure, according to the South Florida Business...

Washington Redskins Should Take Note of Detroit Lions’ X-Factor
It was hard not to follow the Detroit Lions season this year. Everyone was watching. Why? Because we saw the emergence of a 0-16 team on their way to the playoffs (They lost but that’s not the point.)
No matter what you think, Detroit did something right this past season. It started with their quarterback and ended with their receivers.
Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson may...

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...

Coach Open To All Options For Playmakers
AP Image
In a recent one-on-one interview of head coach Mike Shanahan by ESPN blogger Dan Graziano, he made it clear that he intends to search high and low for offensive playmakers this offseason.
The team finished the season ranked 16th in the NFL in offensive yards per game, but 26th in scoring. Part of the drop off has to do with the player that lines up under center, and...

Third Quarter Thoughts
AP Image
Following a long touchdown pass to Roy Helu–the first receiving score of his career–the Redskins were right back in the game. However, if they want to stay in it for the fourth quarter, they have to eliminate the big 15-yard penalties that are consistently pushing them backward. So far, they have three of them on the afternoon.
The first was a penalty on...

Washington Redskins Hope to Finish Up Strong at Home Against Vikings Week 16
The Redskins take on the Vikings this week, for the final home game of the season. Both teams have had disappointing seasons, filled with quarterback drama and defeat. The Redskins are 5-9, while the Vikings are 2-12. Statistically speaking, this game should be less of a challenge for the skins, but as we’ve all seen, on any given Sunday (or Saturday) anything can happen.

Series: Redskins lead 11-9
Last Meeting(s): When Minnesota beat Washington 17-13 last season, then-interim head coach Leslie Frazier (coaching his first game) should have taken away only one thing: Donovan McNabb has become a very ineffective quarterback. McNabb was 21-35 with a touchdown and an interception, but the Redskins had numerous easy third down-conversions fall to the ground...
