Looking back at the Eagles' feared zone blitz...
It wasn't that long ago when the Eagles were famous for their Jim Johnson defensive scheme known as the "zone blitz"... Even the "Big Ben" prime-time offense of the Pittsburgh Steelers felt its sting to the tune of a 15-6 regular-season Eagles victory in 2008...

Parker: Skins don't care about football
It's no secret that the Steelers and Redskins run their respective organizations differently, just ask Willie Parker who's seen first hand why Dan Snyder's team always seem to struggle.

Redskins dump “Slow” Willie Parker
So much for the trio backfield which was combined approaching 100 years of age, the Washington Redskins have jettisoned Willie Parker. Willie Parker, signed as a veteran free agent this past offseason failed to show that he has anything left in the tank. He was competing with Clinton Portis and Larry Johnson for a roster spot and simply could not beat anyone else out for a roster...

Willie Parker: Redskins Are about Partying
Willie Parker’s dropoff in production and relevance has been swift. He was once considered to be one of the fastest running backs in football, and his greatest accomplishment was running for a 75-yard touchdown in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks. Injuries and the strain of hundreds of carries sapped Parker’s speed, and the Steelers [...]

NOT SO FAST
Redskins Cut Willie Parker
When we hear the phrase "open competition", we usually focus on who wins the starting gig. Willie Parker tried and failed to win the Redskins' starting running back job and now is on the way out of town.

Redskins respond to Willie Parker
It was about a week ago that Willie Parker summed up the Redskins organization in five damning words: “They don’t care about football.” Parker went on to say too much of the team cares more about “partying and stuff.” Well, we don’t have much else to post about these days, so let’s hear what the…

Willie Parker on the Redskins: “They don’t care about football”
It’s hard to imagine two organizations more diametrically opposed over the last decade than the Redskins and Steelers. The differences aren’t just in the front office and ownership. Willie Parker, who had a cup of coffee with Washington last year after six years in Pittsburgh, says the players have a different attitude too. “Being in…

Might we see Willie Parker back with the Pittsburgh Steelers?
The Steelers have brought back a number of former players this season….any chance another one could be on the way? I have mixed feelings but how would you feel if Willie Parker was wearing a Steeler uniform again? He is currently the 4th string RB in Washington and faces the possibility of being released [...]

Redskins RB Willie Parker To Start Against The Jets
Washington Redskins running back Willie Parker will start Friday night against the New York Jets. Looks like its Parker’s turn in the rotation. Since the Redskins have three pro-bowl caliber backs, head coach Mike Shanahan has taken the running back rotation approach to see who works best with the first team. The Redskins starting running [...]

Broncos were going to sign Willie Parker?
Given all the injuries that the Denver Broncos have suffered during the preseason, especially at running back, I speculated that the Denver Broncos were going to have some interest in former Washington Redskin and Pittsburgh Steelers RB Willie Parker. On September 5th, I posed that very question of the Broncos bringing in Parker after he was released from the Washington Redskins...

Updates: Skins @ the Cards
Brandon Banks made a good case for himself on that kick-off return. He took the ball back 40 yards and broke some tackles with with nifty directional changes. He is going to need a strong effort tonight.
Willie Parker showed nice burst with a 13-yard run. Parker looks like a man on a mission. He needs a good showing if he is to merit a spot on this team.
After a false start...

Arizona game critical for Willie Parker
Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that he had not reviewed with most of his team who would play and how much time they'll be on the field in Thursday's preseason finale at Arizona. But some players - those all but certain to be starters - watched film of the Dallas Cowboys, the season-opening opponent on Sept. 12. Those starters then served as the scout team in Monday...

Willie Parker headed to Denver Broncos?
Injuries have hit the Denver Broncos hard this preseason. I don’t know which is more dangerous, being a running back for the Houston Texans or the Denver Broncos. That being said, is Willie Parker the next veteran running back to be brought into Denver for a tryout? Ladell Betts was brought in to Broncos camp earlier this preseason and eventually signed with the New Orleans...

Clinton Portis started the preseason opener against Buffalo, Larry Johnson opened with the first-team offense against Baltimore and now Parker will have an opportunity to impress coaches. Although Coach Mike Shanahan has made no announcements, it appears Portis...

Parker Won’t Be Back with the Steelers This Season
It’s kind of sad to see Willie Parker beg the Steelers to “resign 39,” and encourage fans to do the same. Ed Bouchette of the Post-Gazette writes that the Steelers are not going to bring the veteran free agent back.
The Steelers did bring back a handful of their former players last season through free agency and one trade, but that won’t happen with Fast...

Remember Willie Parker? He Wants Back in Pittsburgh with the Steelers
Willie Parker is a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Steelers, and while he sometimes frustrated coaches and fans with his words, he did add a solid piece to the Steelers run game for two Super Bowl wins.
Last season he was a free agent, and left the team when they didn’t even make him an offer to sign with the Redskins. In the end, the former two-time Super Bowl winning RB...

Which Redskins RB gets cut by Saturday?
Which of the big three veteran running backs will be cut by the Washington Redskins before Saturday’s deadline to meet the 53 man roster? Clinton Portis? Larry Johnson? Willie Parker? I know it won’t be Clinton Portis, he’s the only one of the three that is still productive. So the argument comes down to Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.

But the veteran said he was not worried about the move. "I really don't even pay no attention to it, or whatever," Parker said. "They have my name at four? Yeah, I don't really...

When the Redskins' opened camp, one of the biggest questions surrounding the team was how coaches might juggle the three veteran running backs. That's apparently not as pressing of a concern now, as Willie Parker is no longer listed among the team's top three backs. Parker appears slated to enter the team's first preseason game as the Redskins' No. 4 running back...
