Every Tuesday, the crew from Redskins Broadcast Network takes over Gordon Biersch in Tysons Corner to film Redskins Late Night. There's a player co-host, a whole bunch of fans, and it's a generally good time. Everyone has fun, the crowd cheers at the right spots, but it doesn...

Every game the Redskins win, special teams coach Danny Smith awards a "Hit Stick" to the player who delivered the most crushing shot on special teams coverage. The stick -- which is an actual carved piece of wood that Smith acquired in Jamaica -- then lives with that player...
A Surprisingly Lively Fourth And Life Event

There's probably some kind of mathematical equation describing how the rowdiness level of room increases as you add teenage boys per square foot, but I don't know the specific math of it. What I do know, after Tuesday's Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation 4th &...
Thursday, November 19: Dallas Week On CBS, 1983
1 day ago by
Redskins Blog

In some ways, any rivalry is by definition about nostalgia. It's about the accrual of loathing for a specific opponent over a number of years. Without that -- without the memory of a few heartbreaking losses, a few dominating wins, a few extracurricular events -- you don't...
Shaun Suisham Was Happy For Mike Sellers (And Hunter Smith Too)

We'll get to the part where kicker Shaun Suisham WAS happy in a bit, but this story starts elsewhere: Suisham had read on some obscure blog somewhere that Hunter Smith had no intention of throwing him the ball on the touchdown play that ultimately went to Mike Sellers, and he...
Carlos Rogers Remains Positive, Even In Practice

The way Carlos Rogers' day went on Sunday, it seemed reasonable to be ask if he would be playing again at all. After getting scorched for a 75 yard touchdown pass, Rogers was pulled from the game and did not return. Depending on how the situation with the collective bargaining...

It's Dallas week, and thanks to the win at home on Sunday, it actually feels like it matters. Over at the Redskins.com mothership, the estimable Larry Weisman has composed a nice retrospective of the Redskins/Cowboys feud; it's worth reading as a whole, but here's the section...
Finally, A Vote!

Ah, remember the glorious days of the first half of the 2008 Redskins season? There was always a reason to vote for some Redskins player or coach to win some sponsored league honor, from the sublime (Chris Horton, NFL rookie of the month!) to the merely entertaining (EVERYONE for the...
Quinton Ganther On Brian Dawkins
3 days ago by
Redskins Blog
| Comments
When I talked to new Redskins running back Quinton Ganther late last week, one of the questions that I asked him was who he compared his running style to. "You watch, then you can tell me," he told me at the time. It was an uninteresting enough exchange that even I left...
Tuesday, November 17: A Much Better 'Mike Sellers And The American Flag' Story
3 days ago by
Redskins Blog

Even before the team won on Sunday, it felt to me like there was a sense in the air of setting things right and balancing accounts, like a much-less-violent version of the end of the Godfather. The changing of the sign policy, for example, putting an end to that long-simmering frustration...

Hey, maybe you heard somewhere that punter Hunter Smith threw a touchdown pass yesterday? It's true!You've probably also heard by now that Smith was a multiple-position threat at Sherman High School, including quarterback -- "I was a better receiver than anything, and...
Brian Orakpo Talks About The Sack Race
4 days ago by
Redskins Blog
| Comments
For all that went well for Brian Orakpo yesterday, there were a couple things that could've gone a little better. For example: he broke the Redskins rookie sack record, but he did it after the team's PR staff and a large chunk of the media contingent had already gone down...
Monday, November 16: When Does The Offensive Line Stop Being Makeshift
4 days ago by
Redskins Blog
| Comments
For weeks now, any discussion of the Redskins offensive line has been prefaced with the word "makeshift". Between guys being lost to injury and guys being shuttled from position to position in relief, there's been very little continuity on a unit that -- according to...
Todd Yoder Attributes His Success To Chris Cooley. Sort Of.

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...

Andre Carter came into this game leading the Redskins with 6.5 sacks on the season, 2.5 more than he had in all of 2009. Brian Orakpo came into this game leading all NFL rookies with 5.5 sacks -- trailing Carter by one for the team lead. The Broncos, meanwhile, had allowed 13 sacks...
DeAngelo Hall Still Feels Good About Pitching The Ball

When DeAngelo Hall pitched the ball to LaRon Landry at the end of his interception return, I was skeptical -- and I wasn't the only one. Professional Redskins critic John Riggins, presumably tweeting from the woodpile behind his house, wrote "you can't win with guys that...

Intern Jay summed it up as he set off for the locker room: "Two words," he said. "Much. Needed."That's about all there is to say. The Redskins ran the ball, scored points, and -- shock of shocks -- won. I"ll have more later; now it's time to go down...

Via Fanhouse, the Redskins' second-quarter, fourth-and-20 Hunter Smith touchdown pass, because it is awesome.Unfortunately, nothing quite so awesome happened in the third quarter. In fact, there was only one play that I thought was worth of particular note, and it wasn't a...
Redskins vs. Broncos - Second Quarter Thoughts
5 days ago by
Redskins Blog

This photo of Hunter Smith doesn't actually show what was so interesting about his return, of course. By throwing a touchdown pass to Mike Sellers on fourth-and-20, he becomes the first non-QB to throw a touchdown for the 2009 Redskins, the first member of the 2009 Redskins to...
Redskins v. Broncos - First Quarter Thoughts

Yes, the team is losing. Yes, the cornerbacks look more or less completely perplexed by the idea that some little-known guy named Brandon Marshall has caught the ball deep for two touchdowns. Yes, the offense has looked frustrated in their last couple possessions. But hey! It'...

Good news: your voices have been heard. Effective starting with today's game against the Broncos, the FedExField sign policy has been revised: any signs that remain within the bounds of good taste and don't block other people's view will be allowed in the stadium. Here...

Jamie Mottram of Mister Irrelevant had an excellent idea of how to get ready for a Redskins/Broncos game: by watching the Redskins play one of the greatest quarters in football history against the Broncos more than twenty years ago. If the 2009 Redskins could do in a full game just...

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...

A few notes today, after the third rain-soaked practice in a row:
Hunter Smith said he felt good after punting in practice today, and is optimistic that he'll be able to go on Sunday; how he feels tomorrow -- a day AFTER punting -- will tell the tale.
Ladell Betts was able to...
Friday, November 13: Quinton Ganther Could Be The Backup Running Back Sunday

As near as I can tell, we have one picture of running back Quinton Ganther in a Redskins uniform, and that's it sitting up top of this post: his official team headshot. I can't find any practice photos, bench photos, anything like that. I emailed Brian Murphy (of ExtremeSkins...
