Since what happened on the field last Monday night when the Washington Redskins took on the Pittsburgh Steelers was eminently forgettable, the lasting memory of that game will be the sight of the hoards of towel-waving, black-jersey-clad Steeler fans who were all over the stands that night. The ...

I'm watching the NFL Network's "Classic Games" replay of the 2005 divisional playoff game with the Steelers visiting the Colts. The Colts had the best record in the AFC and they were the prohibitive favorite to go to the Super Bowl. Yet whenever the Steelers do something...
Torrence cut

The ax has fallen on Leigh Torrence. The cornerback has been cut to clear a roster spot for DeAngelo Hall, who signed with the Redskins on Saturday. This move is somewhat surprising. One would think that if a cornerback was going to get cut it would the rookie Justin Tryon. The fourth-round ...
No down side to Hall signing

Why the Hall not? That's my attitude towards the Redskins signing DeAngelo Hall, recently released by the Raiders. The move doesn't punch their ticket to the Super Bowl or even to the playoffs, but he can make a good team better. In sort, lots of upside at a very low cost and...

Those who are backing the Washington Redskins on Monday and Barak Obama on Tuesday face an interesting dilemma. A Redskins win on Monday night would an omen that does not bode well for those who want to see the electoral maps bathed in blue on Tuesday night. Here's the deal: In nearly every ...

I really liked the play calling on that first drive; Zorn's script worked to near perfection. Play action to pass Moss, Portis up the middle, Portis off right end, sprinkle in a little Randle El, then the slip screen to Moss for a first and goal at the one. Then they missed connections on a ...

I nearly had the Jim Zorn moment that Ryan O'Halloran of the Times experienced after the Lions game. In case you haven't seen it, go to about the 2:00 mark in this video. You'll see Zorn get annoyed at a series of followup questions by O'Halloran, who was trying to...

Jim Zorn's postgame presser wasn't the only one at Ford Field with a tense moment. Lions coach Rod Marinelli told a reporter that he "wasn't qualified" to evaluate the team's defensive scheme. Detroit columnist Tom Kowalski thinks that the Lions would be doing...

Joe Gibbs was 12-0 against the Detroit Lions. He beat them early in his career and he beat them late. He won close games and he won blowouts. The streak was in its greatest jeopardy on November 3, 1990 with about ten minutes left in the third quarter in the Silverdome. Barry Sanders had just ...

When the Washington Redskins embarked on this stretch of three "easy" games, the one that was supposed to carry them to 7-1 at midseason, I wasn't buying it. My thinking was that in the three games there would be a loss, a close win, and a blowout win. We got the loss...

I still don't know what the 2008 Washington Redskins are. Are they a playoff team? Probably. They have five wins in the bank. If they get to 10, they should make it to the postseason. They have games against Detroit, Cincinnati, Seattle, Baltimore, and San Francisco. All of those...

During the offseason leading up to the 1964 season, the Washington Redskins were quite busy adding high-caliber talent to the team. How good? Hall of Fame good. That year, the Redskins drafted wide receiver Charley Taylor and safety Paul Krause and traded for quarterback Sonny Jurgensen and ...

I trust that Zorn will be able to come up with some halftime adjustments. That last drive wouldn't have been bad had it taken place in the middle of the second quarter. It was well paced and effective, for that time of game. For the time that it actually happened, it took way too...

14:55a?"Another promising drive ends on some odd play calling as Alexander gets a carry up the middle on second and 10. There still is no rhythm to the play calling and so the Browns still are very much in the game. A nice Plackemeier punt, though, has the Browns pinned near the...

There is one line of thinking that says that the Washington Redskins will have to run the ball well in order to beat the New Orleans Saints at FedEx Field on Sunday. The game plan needs to be Portis right, Portis left and Betts up the middle. The objective is to keep the pressure off

I expect the message board community and the postgame show callers to overreact after one season-opening loss. After the Washington Redskins' loss to the New York Giants on Thursday, the knee-jerk brigade is led by the bench Campbell contingent and running close behind with torches
