Congratulations to Redskins Hunter “the punter, runner and passer” Smith on being named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week. It was a pretty spiral he threw to FB Mike Sellers for a 35-yard TD. He also punted last Sunday, but, fortunately, not quite so often. He is the first full-time punter to run and [...]

Smoke Signals: The Wrath of Champ

Sunday marks the return of Champ Bailey to Washington for the first time since 2004, when he was dealt with a 2nd round pick to the Denver Broncos for TB Clinton Portis. A lot of Redskins fans never forgave Bailey for leaving town, but it wasn’t up to him and he’s moved on nicely and [...]

Jim Zorn is supporting CB DeAngelo Hall in his dispute with the Falcons and their head coach Mike Smith over what happened during the sideline melee last Sunday.

As you know, earlier this week the Redskins demoted Antwaan Randle El on punt returns and made CB DeAngelo Hall the man. We approved of this move, though not the timing of it:
I think I speak for many Redskins fans when I ask: Why didn’t this happen sooner? Sure, Randle El has only recently begun [...]

Smoke Signals: Speaking and saying nothing

As you know, Redskins saboteur owner Dan Snyder deigned to speak briefly to the media yesterday, making it clear the team was embarrassed and disappointed by its performance in 2009. However, Snyder’s “apology” made it clear he believes the fault, if any, is with the players and coaches, not with the two men mostly responsible [...]

Smoke Signals: That was the easy part

As we wrote yesterday, the Redskins have decided to replace Antwaan Randle El with CB DeAngelo Hall as the team’s primary punt returner. Considering the punchless offense and the need for help from the special teams, the only question is why this move wasn’t made long ago. The answer, of course, is that the Redskins [...]

Jason Reid begins the week after the bye with a depressing stroll down recent memory lane, recounting the missed draft picks and fumbled opportunities Redskins management had to build a decent team following the second retirement of Joe Gibbs. The first mistake was having an owner for a GM. The second mistake was going with [...]

The National Football Post looks at the Redskins and determines that money and Dan Snyder are at the root of all the problems. Read it.
The Redskins 2009 defense looks a lot like the 2008 defense: Good at holding down the yardage and the points, but not so good at creating turnovers. And let’s face it, [...]

In an interview with a Seattle radio station, Jim Zorn’s friend and former Seahawks teammate Steve Largent attacked Redskins management and defended his friend.
“They went to the point of pulling out his contract and said, ‘You have to do whatever the owner tells you to do,’ ” Largent told KJR radio in Seattle. “His choice [...]
