Redskins Economy Class Line Faces Kansas City Chiefs
It's the nightmare scenario dreaded by Washington Redskins fans--the team's two best offensive linemen are out: LG Chris Samuels out for the Kansas City Chiefs game, RG Randy Thomas lost for the season.
How effective is de facto GM Vinny Cerrato at preparing for this day? We are about to find out.
Stephon Heyer moves from the right to left tackle position. Mike Williams moves...

Redskins vs. Bucs Defensive Review: Tryon Something New
Why does Justin Tryon make a difference? Should he? Will it matter once we play a team with more than 2 NFL competent wide receivers?I'll try not to bite off anymore than I can chew. Tryon may not yet even be an adequate nickelback in the NFL yet. But when he gets to play, the Redskins at least give the illusion that they have a deep, talented secondary built almost entirely...

Sherman Lewis, New Washington Redskin Thought Police
I read Jason Reid's Analysis Behind the Sherman Lewis Hiring and shake my head.
Leave it to Daniel Snyder to make the wrong move at the wrong time.
In Lewis' case, he's the right candidate for something, but comes, oh, two training camps and 20 games too late.
In the days when a black guy could play football but not hope to coach, Sherman Lewis was Exhibit A of the foolishness...

The Redskins at the Quarter
If everything goes right, you can expect the game review out in time for normal Thursday morning sports bloggery. Of course, that would require me to get up early tomorrow and spend six straight hours on game film, so, with that in mind, no promises.Today, I'll be looking at the team as a whole through the lens of 20+ hours of tape study, and watching the Tampa game once. And...

Scouting Report: Tennessee Titans RB Chris Henry
Hog Heaven approached Andrew Strickert, our MVN colleague who covers the Tennessee Titans for his thoughts on running back Chris Henry who worked out for the Redskins Monday. This is Andrew's guest post.
Did you ever see a guy who didn't look like much of a football player until he put the pads on and got on the field? Then there's the converse, a guy who looks great...

Buccaneers Are Ripe For The Redskins
If the NFL again realigns the divisions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers get my vote to join the NFC East.
The Dungy-Gruden years marked the Bucs as a tough nosed, grind-you-down team that characterize the Beast. The Buccaneers gave the Redskins the toughest games of anyone outside the division.
If you take Washington's problems and triple them and you would have Tampa Bay.
The Redskins...

A Review of the Defensive "Effort" vs. Detroit
While no unit played particularly well against the Lions on Saturday, the only mistake by a member of the secondary that actually hurt the team was the Chris Horton pass interference play, the biggest play of the game.But, wait, I thought the two constants that contributed to the present underachievement of the defense were poor secondary play and questionable coaching? To a point...

Michael Vick May Be Sincere, His Publicity Campaign Is A Fake
Michael Vick made an entirely too clandestine visit to D.C. to preach against the dangers of dog fighting. he gave his message to a group of at risk...churchgoers.
The story of Vick's visit appears in today's Washington Post and on www.churchsolutionsmag.com.
According to The Post, Vick expressed the false glamour of the thug life and its impact on his family.

Your Monthly Jason Campbell Report: September
With a game review due out later this week anyway (much later, think Friday night), the last thing you probably want to talk about is how the Redskins fared against the Lions. So I'm going to put that on the backburner for the rest of the week since it's not the kind of loss you can get over in a day or two.Especially if you live in Michigan.The Game Tape reviews require...

Greg Blache gets his revenge against Steve Spagnuolo; Skins-Rams Defensive Review
Last year, the story of the Redskins-Giants game at FedEx Field was, in my opinion, the complete embarrassment of the Redskins' defensive coaching staff to adjust their gameplan for the field conditions, while the Giants defense took away the Redskins' running game and the Redskins ran right into it.While certainly, revenge would have been more satisfying if it game against...

Booing is the Least of the Redskins Problems
I woke up Tuesday morning with a severe case of Peyton-envy with complications of Ronnie Brown-envy. It all developed from watching the first two series of the Indianapolis Colts-Miami Dolphins game Monday night. That, and the Cowboys-Giants game Monday night.Score. Answer. Move. Counter-move. Throw. Catch. Run. Touchdown.I wondered more than once during that game if our guys could...

Coming from a Ledge Near You: the Redskins-Rams Offensive Review
It would probably not be an accurate statement to say that Jim Zorn is not a good playcaller. There's 18 games of evidence to suggest that he mixes his personnel well, understands route combination and protection schemes, and knows what defenses will do as well as the strengths and weaknesses of his own team.But if you really wanted to make the argument that he should have his...

Redskins Crush Rams in Two Point Blow-Out
A bad win beats a good loss any day.Make no mistake. The
Washington Redskins' win over the St. Louis Rams was a butt-ugly affair
over a team that managed two wins in its last 18 games. One of
those wins last year came at the Redskins' expense. Washington almost
blew this game the same way by allowing a long fourth quarter reception
by Donnie Avery. Only this time, safety...

Hog Heaven Reviews the Redskins Defense vs. Giants
My shortest game note of either side of the ball was in response to watching Ahmad Bradshaw lose three yards on a first down run in the third quarter. Here's how I described what I saw in my spreadsheet:"Haynesworth is a god damn monster"That's really all that needed to be said about the Redskins $100 (actually 48) million dollar man, who took the Center and the...
