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...

Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall (23) celebrates with teammate Carlos Rogers (22) after intercepting a pass against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers DeAngelo Hall has plenty of positive things to say about his old team, the Atlanta Falcons. His old coach? That's another matter. The Washington Redskins cornerback made it clear Monday that he's still no fan of Bobby Petrino, the coach who quit the...

During the Redskins' win over Tampa Bay, when Jason Campbell struggled pretty horribly in the first half, Sonny Jurgensen wasn't shy about calling for him to be benched. By the next week, he was taking it further, telling Kevin Sheehan during ESPN 980's pre-game show that he thought the Redskins would have started the season 4-0 with Todd Collins at the controls. To me, it's simply the point of the...

In context, this quote isn’t bad, but it goes so well with this photo of Mr. Rogers with our “Snyder Sucks” t-shirt that I couldn’t resist: “[The Redskins’ problems] start with the ownership.” Indeed. [Redskins Insider] Sources: Gruden tops Snyder’s wish list. Whatever. [The Examiner] Zorn admits he only knew “most” of the fair-catch rule....

Redskins cornerback Carlos Rogers is pointing fingers and, surprisingly, it's at the guy who signs his paychecks. "It not only starts with the players, coaches," Rogers said, per the Associated Press (via Pro Football Talk). " It starts with the ownership ." While I agree with Rogers, it is gutsy to publicly call out the head honcho -- even if he makes poor decisions. Rogers, the...

It's been another zany one here at Redskins Park. Defensive coordinator Greg Blache is no longer speaking to the media, for what Coach Zorn describes as "personal reasons" and "a needed break". Wide receiver Malcolm Kelly discussed a thumb injury, which Coach Zorn describes as "ongoing" and something that the receiver has played with. A scant two or three sentences later,...

Clinton Portis had very limited participation in practice today, limited almost entirely to standing on the sidelines wearing a hooded sweatshirt under his practice jersey. And, sure enough, after practice head coach Jim Zorn characterized Portis as "really, a gametime decision" for this week with a lingering calf injury. Zorn characterized the level of uncertainty as comparable to last...

The scheduling of the NFL week is less than ideal for the losing team. Instead of immediately getting back on the practice field, putting the loss -- especially a bad, frustrating loss like Sunday's -- behind you, and moving on, you get a couple days to really let it sink in. Monday is all about treatment and position meetings; Tuesday is the players' day off (and, therefore, the main day for charity...

If you believe that admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, then today's open locker room was absolutely full of recovering football players. For just about every problem that has been brought up about the loss to the Lions and the team's play in general, there was a player somewhere explaining to a microphone just how aware they were of that problem. Think the team lacks a clearly-defined...

Here's Jim Zorn, thinking about what kind of bullet points his resume should have. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya) Lions 19, Redskins 14: "It was one that got away from us," said Jason Campbell. Uh, you think? The understatement of the year aside, for some, this loss was the cherry on top of one of the most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad years in the history of D.C. professional athletics...
