The merry-go-round that is the Washington Redskins' offensive line continued to spin Thursday, resulting in a second chance for right guard Chad Rinehart. The line already is trying to work in new left tackle Levi Jones and get right tackle D'Anthony Batiste ready in case the injured Stephon Heyer can't play Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Now Rinehart is returning after a three-game absence because...
This is what I thought I saw during yesterday's practice, and it was confirmed today: Chad Rinehart will be stepping in at right guard in relief of Will Montgomery . There were rumors of this move last week; this week it's actually happening. Rinehart spoke briefly to the media today, and -- like Levi Jones -- said more or less what you'd expect. Let's see if he hits all the same categories Jones...
UPON FURTHER REVIEW Final observations from the Redskins' 20-17 loss to Carolina: c Here's what happened on the five sacks of Jason Campbell: Everette Brown beats left tackle D'Anthony Batiste; Hollis Thomas beats center Casey Rabach, forcing running back Clinton Portis to help on Thomas, which leaves linebacker Jon Beason unblocked; Damione Lewis beats left guard Derrick Dockery to disrupt the play...
My master plan to make a living off taking pictures of my television set was completely done in by the Fox fiasco yesterday, that briefly had the game off television entirely in my house, and seemed to be afflicting the HD channel more than SD. So these television photos are even worse than my usual offering. Still, just for fun, here are a whole bunch of images, each followed by a description and...

CHARLOTTE, N.C. | The Washington Redskins had an early lead and something to celebrate. But the joy was short-lived. Pro Bowl left tackle Chris Samuels was injured on Clinton Portis' first touchdown a little more than a minute into the game and did not return, leaving Washington with even more of a makeshift - and suspect - offensive line. D'Anthony Batiste, a fourth-year player who had not played...
Despite the fact that the Redskins scored 17 points and the first quarter seemed promising, today did not end well. The Redskins have faced five straight winless-at-the-time teams, and they've managed to lose to three of them. And there aren't a lot of excuses or positives to look at here. Jason Campbell was under a lot of pressure pretty much the whole time and largely didn't find a way to make plays...
A quick reminder to follow along on Twitter during the game. A lot of the more casual observations that used to make it into these post-quarter updates are now there, and even following on the Twackle module it's easy to miss things. Anyhow, that first quarter was distinctly different from all the other ones this season because, well, the Redskins scored a touchdown -- the first first-quarter touchdown...
NFL Films has been doing great work with the Redskins this week, between yesterday's fantastic Jim Zorn/Jason Campbell video and this latest piece , a dinner with much of the team's offensive line. It's an interesting look at the players off the field, and -- although the conversation seems a little stilted at times, you really do get a sense of the personalities on the line (and, by extension, a sense...
Here are the Redskins inactives for this game: RB Marcus Mason CB Kevin Barnes OL Edwin Williams LB Robert Henson OL Chad Rinehart OL D'Anthony Batiste DT Anthony Montgomery DE Renaldo Wynn The two that are the most surprising would be Montgomery and Wynn, but this is the (sort of) downside to having all your players healthy: you just have to pick guys to be inactive. Jeremy Jarmon has impressed me...
