Redskins @ Eagles - Second Quarter Thoughts

Sun, 29 Nov 2009 14:34:00 -0500

For much of this game, it hasn't felt like I've been watching the 2009 Redskins. Unlike most Redskins games this year, it's felt competitive from the start. The team has been making the most of their opportunities. The calls have been going their way, including the nullified touchdown from the first quarter.No, it hasn't been flawless. Jason Campbell has been having a mixed game at best, and it seems like his play has been getting sloppier as the game has progressed. Of cours...

Offensive line gives Redskins a lift and a bit of life

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:40:00 -0500

With Levi Jones making his first start at left tackle for the Redskins and Chad Rinehart back at right guard, Washington's offensive line was surprisingly effective in Sunday's 27-17 victory over the Denver Broncos. Clinton Portis was sidelined after suffering a concussion in a Week 9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, so the Redskins relied on hard-working backups Ladell Betts (114 yards, one touchdown, 4.4-yard average) and Rock Cartwright (41 yards, 4.6-yard average). The Redskins rushed...

CSN: Levi Jones is on the spot

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:29:18 -0500

Levi Jones is not only making his first start in the NFL in about a year on Sunday, but he’ll be going up against a player in Elvis Dumervil who has posted double-digit sacks already this year. Here is my Comcast Sports Net article on the challenge Jones faces. Not that he’s worried about it. CSN Washington: [...]

Jones takes crash course for Broncos

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 07:10:00 -0500

Levi Jones said he's ready to roll. The Redskins' new starting left tackle plans to perform well in protecting quarterback Jason Campbell's blind side against the Denver Broncos, who rank third in the NFL with 26 sacks. Outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil is tied for the league lead with 10.5 sacks. Offensive line coach Joe Bugel "has been working hard to get me prepared," Jones said. "I feel confident, I feel good about what's going on. The learning process, the ...

Redskins Sign L.T. Levi Jones

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 21:49:48 -0500

By now you’ve probably heard that the Washington Redskins have signed 30 year-old Levi Jones to play left tackle, and have also signed free agent running back Quinton Ganther. I saw the announcement on redskins.com. Whether or not Levi’s signing is an indicator of Chris Samuels’ injury status for the rest of the [...]

Redskins Sign OT Levi Jones and RB Quinton Gaither Release RBs Anthony Alridge (again) and local boy Marcus Mason (sorry CJHutch).

Green Bay Packers workout former Bengals tackle Levi Jones

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:08:42 -0500

When the Bengals released Levi Jones in early May, it was one of those things that just didn't surprise you. Jones' injury severely hurt his performances. No longer would he be the team's left tackle that, for the most part, had performed as well as any left tackle in the league. Jones has expressed interest in returning to the state of Arizona where he played college ball. The Green Bay Packers are taking a flier on the left tackle, after the offense gave up 12 sacks throug...
