What do you think Rock Cartwright is thinking in this AP photo? I'm guessing it's probably something along the lines of Hey, I've been telling them to give me more work at running back. Or maybe, Hey, why didn't we take an end zone shot there after all the penalty ridiculousness . The first thought would certainly be reasonable: Cartwright finishes the first half with 56 yards on 5 carries and 25...

Glass partitions and very vigilant security...

Ever since he came to the Washington Redskins seven years ago, Ladell Betts has believed the same thing. "He's always said, 'Get me 20 carries, I'll get you 100 yards,' " longtime teammate Rock Cartwright said. Betts has backed up his words in the few opportunities he has gotten, most recently in the Redskins' victory over the Denver Broncos last week. Betts has reached the 100-yard mark...

Every game the Redskins win, special teams coach Danny Smith awards a "Hit Stick" to the player who delivered the most crushing shot on special teams coverage. The stick -- which is an actual carved piece of wood that Smith acquired in Jamaica -- then lives with that player until the next time it's given out, sort of like a smaller-scale, woodier Stanley Cup. Can you guess who got the Hit...
