Todd Yoder Attributes His Success To Chris Cooley. Sort Of.

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 20:09:00 -0500

It's been awhile since Todd Yoder had two touchdowns in a season. "In a season?" he said. "Tampa, my fourth year, actually, two in the same game -- in this stadium. Washington."The date was October 12, 2003. Outkast's "Hey Ya!" was climbing the charts. The Red Sox and Yankees were in the middle of a heated ALCS, which the Yankees would eventually win, thus prolonging the story of the Red Sox "curse" and launching seven years of non-stop Yankees...

Yoder steps up again with another TD

Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:30:00 -0500

Coming into last week's game at Atlanta, Redskins tight end Todd Yoder -- who typically plays on special teams -- had five touchdown catches in a 10-year career. Now, after he put the Redskins on the board with a two-yard scoring reception from Jason Campbell, he has two in two weeks. Yoder also caught a three-yard scoring pass against the Falcons. Yoder is getting more chances to play on offense now that Pro Bowl tight end Chris Cooley is out after undergoing surgery to repair a broken b...

Redskins Review Burgers, Talk Mohawks

There's not a lot of free time for the players on road trips. Travel days start with meetings, a mock game, and treatment. After that excitement comes the bus-plane-bus-hotel combo. For a few of the players, there are production meetings with the TV broadcast crew immediately upon arrival at the hotel. And in the evening, there are more meetings and a curfew. Obviously there's no free time on gameday.This means that for all intents and purposes, there are maybe four hours per road tri...

Browse more photos » As awful as the first half was to watch, the second half was that much fun. Far be it for me to proclaim this team to be a contender, but in the second half, there was some actual football being played by the guys wearin...

Redskins @ Falcons - Fourth Quarter Thoughts

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:23:00 -0500

The good news first this time: the Redskins actually found a recipe for some success, a combination of quick passes and slashing runs, and also showed some actual heart and determination to make this into a real ballgame. Ladell Betts was finding holes that Clinton Portis has been slow to get to, and Jason Campbell looked sharp again finishing off a second long scoring drive with a pass to Todd Yoder in the back of the end zone.It felt, for the first time in a long time, like the Redskins we...

Redskins-Falcons: Fat Lady Sings

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:02:30 -0500

Well well, the Redskins scored two touchdowns. Who knew Todd Yoder could get his feet down in the corner of the end zone? Instead of being routed, they fought back and scored 17 points. Atlanta lost a challenge of the Yoder catch, so they were down to 2 timeouts. More importantly, they clearly had lost [...]

The show, which airs in the DC area at 7:30 Saturday nights on NBC-4, is taped earlier in the week, which is how Weisman came to mention to me yesterday that Todd Yoder names some of the Redskins plays.Here's the snippet, from this upcoming Saturday's show.And, for those of you who...

Yode's Corner: Hail to BOSCHETTI

Thu, 27 Nov 2008 19:04:32 -0500

The day before thanksgiving marked the return of the great Ryan Boschetti. Since I wrote the ode to Boschetti leaving us. I find it only fitting that I write of his glamorous return. I think Thanksgiving week serves as the proper backdrop for the comeback. When I think about the many things ...
