Albert Haynesworth will play, or won't he against the Cowboys ? Now, they're saying he's a game-time decision. The defensive tackle didn't practice again Friday - he exercised on a treadmill instead - and remains a game-time decision. "I'm going to be more towards having him up and seeing what he can do," coach Jim Zorn said. "We'd love to have him on the field." Kedric Golston,...

Washington Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers practiced with the first-team defense Wednesday and is expected to start Sunday, a week after he was benched in a win over the Denver Broncos. "To me, if you're any type of fighter, you're going to respond and fight, and I think that's what he's going to do," secondary coach Jerry Gray said. "The guy has too much talent and too much athletic...

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 agreement develops, Rogers may be an unrestricted free agent next season, and there were some who were suggesting that this...

Redskins cornerback Carlos “Stone Hands” Rogers, who has dropped more easy interceptions than you’ve had hot meals, has not had a good season. He’s gotten beaten deep despite giving virtually every receiver he faces 10 yards of cushion on almost every play. He’s also tackled poorly at times and certainly hasn’t played like a guy [...]

On offense, the Redskins have -- or had -- a small handful of players that other teams might be interested in, at least before this debacle of a season unfolded. They are -- or were -- as follows: Chris Samuels, Chris Cooley, Randy Thomas, Santana Moss, and perhaps Clinton Portis. Of those five, only Moss will play today, cementing an already depleted and inept d'oh!-ffense as a complete non-threat....

Refreshed after last week's bye, the Washington Redskins hope to push the reset button on their horror of a season Sunday at Atlanta, the first of five straight opponents with winning records. While the bye was a much-needed breather after a tumultuous first seven weeks, the road gets considerably more challenging for the Redskins (2-5). Their three NFC East rivals have five wins apiece, and the Falcons...

In yesterday's links post , I wrote briefly about an Associated Press article that put forth the idea that not tackling in practice was leading to shoddy tackling in games. Here's a quick excerpt to give you the flavor of the thing, but it's really worth reading: Sure, [not tackling in practice] keeps everybody healthy, but some Sundays can look pretty ragged. Many players get a chance to tackle at...
