Can Mike Shanahan Do What Only Joe Gi...
There’s no denying that Mike Shanahan’s arrival in DC has spawned an atmosphere of hope that rivals the swearing in of President Barack Obama and the return of Joe Gibbs to the Redskins. (Yep, I just compared a Redskins Head Coach’s return to an historic Presidential inauguration.) Positive change is in the air, though as [...]
Yep Redskins Fans, We Have The Worst ...
Well, this can’t exactly be called breaking news. After all, any Redskins’ fan who has driven to FedEx on game-day during the regular season has surely thought what the world now knows.

Kyle Shanahan is ayoung coach with a lot of promise. In college he played wide receiver, but everyone knew he had the brains to be a coach one day.
In January when Mike Shanahan was named coach of the Redskins, Kyle was determined to join his father here in D.C. Coming from Houston, joining his dad was the only move he would make.

Two Dallas lineman out for Sunday’s s...
If ever there was a boost the Redskins could get from the Cowboys, it would be this.
The Redskins defense is hungry to show its new aggressive, ball-hunting style. It appears the group will be drawing the Dallas Cowboys on a good week. At least a couple of starting offensive linemen are not expected to play.
Right tackle Marc Colombo will [...]

The Washington Redskins are less than three days away from commencing their 2010-2011 season with a home date with the Dallas Cowboys. In the pre-season the Redskins went 2-2. They experienced highs and lows. They put on an offensive and defensive versus the Buffalo Bills and likewise were shot back down to Earth by the Baltimore Ravens. [...]
Update #2
Robert Henson showing some ability as an ILB with a nice sack on Matt Leinart.
Brandon Banks was back for the punt and muffed another one. This completely negates his nice return earlier.

Updates: Skins @ the Cards
Brandon Banks made a good case for himself on that kick-off return. He took the ball back 40 yards and broke some tackles with with nifty directional changes. He is going to need a strong effort tonight.
Willie Parker showed nice burst with a 13-yard run. Parker looks like a man on a mission. He needs a good showing if he is to merit a sp [...]
Skins at Cards
It looks like Haynesworth is starting tonight at RDE. He is the only player of note playing with the back-ups as none of the starters on defense are on the field.
The Cardinals drove inside the 30 but the back-up defensive unit held them to 3.

Westbrook is still a Redskin
Another botch in the Twitterverse. Adam Schefter’s report about DB Byron Westbrook was inaccurate. Rick Maese of the Washington Post Tweets:
@RickMaese Confirmed: Byron Westbrook is still a member of the Redskins. He’s making the trip to Arizona today and will play in Thursday’s game
This is all coming off the heels of the Mike [...]

Malcolm Kelly was expected to return to the Redskins practice fields for the first time since July 29th, the opening day of training camp. However Kelly faced another setback when he re-injured his hamstring. This latest injury is considered a “good pull”. Kelly was expected to play in Arizona, but now it is unlikely he see t [...]
