After rushing out to a quick division lead in the awfully weak NFC East, the Washington Redskins were looking like maybe Rex Grossman was right after all. But, the last two weeks haven’t gone exactly as planned. As it was, the Redskins were not loaded with talent on offense. Two weeks ago, the lost to [...]
It was about a year ago that I sat in OTR’s very own, Micah Warren’s German luxury car (Volkswagen Jetta). We were headed to the range to hit some golf balls when I suggested an interesting, yet unlikely scenario. “The Eagles should make a move for Albert Haynesworth.” It was evident that this guy was [...]
By now you’ve probably heard the story that Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan claims that he asked Donovan McNabb to wear a wristband this past season so that he could remember the plays better. It was an entirely new offense for him after playing in the same system from 1999-2009. So, it doesn’t sound [...]
Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb has been doing some guest hosting or whatever for ESPN this week down in Dallas at the Super Bowl. As such, he’s getting asked about what is happening with him and the Redskins. “As of right now, I’m definitely a Washington Redskin,” McNabb told Mike Tirico. “I signed a contract [...]
Donovan McNabb’s agent, Fletcher Smith, came out recently and blasted the Washington Redskins and their treatment of his client. He said a bunch of stuff that we all knew that McNabb agreed with, but that the QB denied to offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. “I believe there is tension between Donovan and Kyle that’s rooted in [...]
This is crazy. Kelli Johnson of Comcast SportsNet is reporting that the Washingon Redskins will start Rex Grossman this week against the Dallas Cowboys. Yes, Donovan McNabb has been benched and apparently it’s not a popular decision. “Just learned that Rex Grossman is starting over McNabb Sun in Dallas; I’m told Redskins Lockeroom is divided [...]
As if things couldn’t get uglier for Albert Haynesworth and the Washington Redskins. Now, the ‘Skins have suspended the big defensive tackle without pay for the final four games of the season for conduct detrimental to the team. “#Redskins have suspended DL Albert Haynesworth without pay for the team’s next four games for conduct detrimental [...]
The situation with Albert Haynesworth down in Washington DC continues to get better. Benched against the New York Giants, there was speculation from a local radio station that there was a good chance that Haynesworth gets cut this week. Several other media outlets reported that that wasn’t the case. But, it came out that Haynesworth [...]
We were over at P.J. Whelihan’s in Cherry Hill, NJ Tuesday night for some Chase event with former Eagles players. It was a Q & A with pictures and autographs with G. Cobb, Brian Mitchell, Mike Quick, Ron Jaworski, Tra Thomas and Fred Barnett. And of course when you talk about the Philadelphia Eagles, a [...]
Mostly all of us were pretty shocked when Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan decided to bench QB Donovan McNabb for the final drive against the Detroit Lions last week. Rex Grossman went in, reached into his bag of tricks, and delivered a fumble returned for a TD. McNabb hasn’t been great this year, but [...]
We knew that Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis was banged up. But, we didn’t think it was this bad. Portis has been battling a groin injury and it looks like it’s going to keep him out a bit. Mike Shanahan on Wednesday said that the running back will be out 4-6 weeks. He didn’t talk [...]
Despite the ongoing saga of Albert Haynesworth vs. Washington Redskins, it seems that Haynesworth will actually play on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, a source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post. There were previous rumors that he would be inactive. A separate source tells Reid that, while he doesn’t know if he will [...]
Just when we thought all was fine in Redskinland, we have an incident. We all know about Albert Haynesworth skipping the offseason workouts for the Washington Redskins and him not wanting to play in the 3-4 and Shanahan failing him in conditioning tests and so on. But, Haynesworth seemed to be ok with the new [...]
The Washington Redskins seem to think that Super Bowls are won by signing a ton of cooked RB’s. We can’t really blame them, since they’ve won Super Bowls with the likes of Timmy Smith and George Rogers. Smith wasn’t cooked, but he was never really even prepped for the frying pan. He wasn’t passed his [...]
Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan scoffed at the notion that the team is trying to move obnoxious DT Albert Haynesworth. Haynesworth has been clear that he does not like the transition to the 3-4 defense. The Redskins have been clear as well. As in, with their checks. Their $21 million checks clear. “There is [...]
The Washington Redskins seem to be revamping their clubhouse in a very positive way and it all started with bringing coach Mike Shanahan on board and then trading for Donovan McNabb last Sunday. Now it’s time to get rid of the fat and what better place to start then defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth? Per NFL.com’s [...]
While the actual press conference welcoming Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins won’t happen until Monday, the ‘Skins did release a comment from new head coach Mike Shanahan. Shanahan will be Donovan’s second head coach in 11 years. “Donovan is an accomplished quarterback who has been a proven winner in the National Football League,” Shanahan [...]
A league source tells Jason Reid of the Washington Post that Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan wants to use the fourth-overall pick on a young QB for him to develop. This means that he is thinking like everyone else in the 202 area code that Jason Campbell is not the answer. Photo Caption: “Wish I [...]
In a surprising twist at the end of Washington’s season, the Redskins organization has chosen to cut ties with head coach Jim Zorn. PHOTO CAPTION: “What do I care, I still got paid.” Zorn was viewed by many to be the best coach in the toughest division in football, the NFC East. Although he was [...]
Foxsports.com’s John Czarnecki reports that Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder has already approached Mike Shanahan about coaching the team. We know that Jim Zorn is all but dead down in D.C., but Snyder apparently wants to perform the burial sooner rather than later. “Word has it Snyder approached former Broncos coach Mike Shanahan in the [...]
