When I talked to new Redskins running back Quinton Ganther late last week , one of the questions that I asked him was who he compared his running style to. "You watch, then you can tell me," he told me at the time. It was an uninteresting enough exchange that even I left it out of the post. After watching him during his limited action in Sunday's game against the Broncos, I feel safe comparing...

This photo of Hunter Smith doesn't actually show what was so interesting about his return, of course. By throwing a touchdown pass to Mike Sellers on fourth-and-20, he becomes the first non-QB to throw a touchdown for the 2009 Redskins, the first member of the 2009 Redskins to both throw AND run for touchdowns -- AND he records his first NFL pass. Not too bad. There were, despite the fact that the...

The NFL Network reports that Redskins RB Ladell Betts will start Sunday against the Broncos despite a sprained ankle. Betts is replacing the injured Clinton Portis (concussion), who was hurt last week and was ruled out. Betts, a 1,000-yard rusher in 2006, missed most of practice this week. Though his ankle is feeling better than it did midweek, he's still not 100 percent, and the team might have to...

Earlier today, a note was post about how Washington Redskins running back Ladell Betts would start in place of Clinton Portis this Sunday versus Denver. But now comes word that Betts is only quot;75 percent" as he deals with a foot sprain. Betts was limited in practice on Friday and said the foot still feels sore, but that it's getting better. He expects to play this week. Head coach Jim Zorn...

Redskins RB Ladell Betts is questionable for Week 10 against the Broncos after taking limited reps in practice Friday. He did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday as he deals with an ankle injury. And while head coach Jim Zorn said earlier this week that he expected Betts to play, the overriding belief is that Betts will share carries with fellow rushers Rock Cartwright and Quinton Ganther . "Ladell...

A few notes today, after the third rain-soaked practice in a row: Hunter Smith said he felt good after punting in practice today, and is optimistic that he'll be able to go on Sunday; how he feels tomorrow -- a day AFTER punting -- will tell the tale. Ladell Betts was able to get involved with practice today, and is expected to be able to contribute on Sunday -- he says he's at about 75%. Head coach...

As near as I can tell, we have one picture of running back Quinton Ganther in a Redskins uniform, and that's it sitting up top of this post: his official team headshot. I can't find any practice photos, bench photos, anything like that. I emailed Brian Murphy (of ExtremeSkins and Homer McFanboy ) to see if he had a shot on the bench or anything; between covering the team, photographing the team, and...

So much for Washington's interest in Larry Johnson, at least for now. Washington, which likely will be without Clinton Portis (concussion) this week for its game against Denver, today placed safety Chris Horton on Injured Reserve and re-signed running back Quinton Ganther. Ganther, originally signed with the team on Oct. 20, but was inactive for the team’s Week 7 contest against Philadelphia,...

Larry Weisman tweets that we should expect the Redskins to move injured SS Chris Horton to injured reserve, ending his season early. To fill his roster spot, the Redskins will re-sign RB Quinton Ganther, who has already been signed and released by the Redskins this season. Ganther is a 25-year-old who played college at Utah [...]

Last year, as the 2008 season wound down and the Redskins seemed unable to get themselves back in the win column on a consistent basis, head coach Jim Zorn was emphatic about playing his starters to the very end. Every week, reporters (and emailers, and blog commenters) would ask about getting more playing time for the then-rookies, and every week Zorn stuck to his guns. As Sunday's game against the...

As I mentioned on Twitter earlier today , the Redskins signed rookie FB Eddie Williams off the practice squad to fill the roster spot vacated by Chris Samuels . In actual point of fact, this may or may not mean much: Williams, playing fullback, is likely competing with Quinton Ganther for extremely limited scraps of time behind Mike Sellers . But that doesn't diminish his excitement. "It's nice,"...
