The Real Reason for Epic Redskins Fail
Mr. Irrelevant (Free subscription) | 10/28/2009
Vinny Cerrato said this when asked about the team’s failing offensive line: We tried to address the line. We added [Derrick] Dockery. We added Mike Williams. We attempted to, and when we were in the draft, there was nobody at No. 13 worthy of it. So they added Dockery and Williams, which is hardly an upgrade [...]

Cerrato Continues Defending Himself Regarding the Redskins OL
Hogs Haven (Free subscription) | 10/27/2009
More photos » by Susan Walsh - AP Browse more photos » Vinny Cerrato addressed reporters today, and his responses continue to baffle me . There is no doubt the Redskins made multiple mistakes not drafting linemen over the last several years. It was obvious to everyone when Samuels and Randy Thomas had season ending injuries last year. What is maddening is when someone refuses to admit their...

Cerrato Discusses the Offensive Line
D.C. Sports Bog (Free subscription) | 10/19/2009
I happened to be listening to ESPN 980's pre-game show on my way to FedEx Field Sunday morning, and Vinny Cerrato came on for a pre-game interview with Larry Michael. Now, we all know that the focal point of fan distress over this team's personnel has overwhelmingly focused on the offensive line, and Michael was unusually pointed when questioning Cerrato about his handiwork. "Vinny you catch a...

The Revamped Offensive Line Is Cautiously Optimistic
Redskins Blog (Free subscription) | 10/14/2009
If I had to characterize the mood of the locker room today -- and I did, actually, when we were taping Redskins Nation for Comcast SportsNet -- I'd call it "frustrated." Not with each other, per se, and not with the coaches. Not with the media, either (Mike Sellers 's mildly amusing quote notwithstanding). They just seem frustrated with not winning. This is a team that is firmly convinced...

Upon further review

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...

Week 5 Defensive Key Match-ups: Carolina Panthers versus Washington Redskins
Cat Scratch Reader (Free subscription) | 10/09/2009
More photos » by Donna McWilliam - AP Browse more photos » Bad news, the Panthers rank last in rush defense. Good news, the Panthers rank 6th in pass defense. Although I do admit the 6th in pass is partly because everyone can just run the ball, but I would give the secondary a bit more credit than that. A large number of the points given up by the Panthers has not been the fault of the...

All-Star Survivors Luncheon Has Really Grown Since Last Year
Redskins Blog (Free subscription) | 09/29/2009
Last year, Chris Cooley organized a little event at Redskins Park on one of his Tuesdays off that turned into one of the best charitable events I attended all year, treating a group of breast cancer survivors to lunch, a tour of Redskins Park, and makeup kits, wigs, headscarves, jeans, and gift bags. This year, that little event got just a bit bigger. Instead of being just Cooley, the thirty women...

For Bills, schizophrenia isn’t all that dumb
Realfootball365.com (Free subscription) | 09/23/2009
It's very hard to rank the Bills player personnel officers in proper descending order. The Bills hire and fire Langston Walker, Derrick Dockery. Let's just forget about Robert Royal and Tutan Reyes, for the sake of sanity. Who's Ko Simpson? Haloti who? Chris Ellis - who put him on the draft board? Who needs a comprehensive litany? Jeff Posey, blah, blah, blah...puke, puke, double puke... Fast ...

Monday, September 21: An Overlooked Red Zone Option
Redskins Blog (Free subscription) | 09/21/2009
So you may have heard -- for example, from the infographic that stretches across the entire front page of today's Washington Post sports section -- that the Redskins did not do well in the red zone yesterday. Despite moving pretty well up and down the rest of the field, the offensive repeatedly came to a screeching halt inside the opponent's 20-yard line. Five trips into the red zone yielded only...

Bills taking the (massively) youthful route up front
Buffalo Rumblings (Free subscription) | 09/09/2009
by Lynne Sladky - AP View full size photo uploaded September 8, 2009 To say that the Buffalo Bills have forced a transformation along their offensive line over the past several months is, perhaps, one of the largest understatements a fan can make about the current team. Gone from 2008 are four veteran starters, the latest, obviously, being OT Langston Walker , who was released on Tuesday . Replacing...

On-The-Bubble Redskins Go Shopping With Kids

There was a long stretch between my interview for this job and the call offering me the job, and during that stretch I was more or less useless for anything else. This wasn't just the usual job hunt stress, either. As you can imagine, I understood very clearly that I was interviewing for a dream job, and the pressure of waiting to hear the results was correspondingly magnified. And that was just after...

Redskins' o-line has new look, new result
The Washington Times (Free subscription) | 08/30/2009
It all came apart for the Washington Redskins and their aging offensive line in November. After allowing 16 sacks during a surprising 6-2 first half, the line collapsed against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Seattle Seahawks and New York Giants. They surrendered 16 sacks in those four games, three of which were defeats. The Redskins never recovered en route to an 8-8 season. Those struggles...
