According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Asante Samuel has been ruled out for the Eagles game against the Washington Redskins on Sunday. Not that it really matters, if any game could possibly mean absolutely nothing, it’s this Eagles/Redskins game. But, the bigger question is, does this mean that Asante is finished with the [...]
Once thought of as a possible upside fantasy player, Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain is now homeless. Well, he most likely has an actual place to live (we’d assume), but he no longer has an NFL home. According to Chris Russell of ESPN 980 AM, the Redskins have parted ways with Torain. “Ryan Torain had [...]
The Washington Redskins have not made a ton of great decisions to put their team in position for success in 2011. See: thinking John Beck and/or Rex Grossman were good quarterback options. But, they’ve also had a lot of bad luck as well. See: Cooley and Moss missing a lot of time. Sadly, now two [...]
We certainly hope that Tashard Choice hasn’t purchased any real estate lately. Although, we would have liked to be his real estate agent if he did, because he’d be buying and selling a ton of properties right now. Choice was surprisingly (to some) cut by the Dallas Cowboys a few weeks ago. He wasn’t the [...]
While most Dallas Cowboys insiders weren’t surprised that the team released RB Tashard Choice, most national media were. That probably just goes to show how little the national media knows about individual teams, but we’ll leave that conversation for another day. The truth is, Choice wasn’t playing well and he was never a favorite of [...]
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 [...]
If you saw the Dallas Cowboys beat the Washington Redskins on Monday night, you sat through an awful football game. That game didn’t need announcers, it needed a laugh track (“So it became a comedy show.” “Yes it did! And it was not pleasant to be part of the comedy on stage!” Anyone know what [...]
It was common knowledge for some time that the Washington Redskins had soured on Donovan McNabb and wanted him out of town. But, when the question of who would start in his place came up, everyone thought Mike Shanahan was joking when he said he liked John Beck. Really? Really. No one believed him until [...]
The Washington Redskins right now look like dreck on paper. Their QB will either be John Beck or Rex Grossman. Do I need to continue? I don’t, but I will. While they are fine on defense, this offense is downright deplorable. The running back situation consists of Tim Hightower and Ryan Torain. Awesome. Wide receivers [...]
Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Washington Redskins and Minnesota Vikings have agreed to a deal that will send QB Donovan McNabb to the purple guys. The only thing now is that McNabb has to agree to a new contract for it to go through. McNabb signed a ridiculous extension last season [...]
It’s been known for some time that the New York Jets really want to keep WR Santonio Holmes. He’s a free agent right now so the Jets will have to pay him a few bucks to keep him. Especially since sources are telling the NY Daily News that the Washington Redskins have also made Santonio [...]
We’re all familiar with the Albert Haynesworth saga in Washington now, aren’t we? He signed a huge, $100 million contract (actually $41 million was guaranteed) two years ago with the Redskins. By the time Mike Shanahan came in the following year, they were running the 3-4 defense and Albert hated it. So then went the [...]
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 [...]
The Washington Redskins made quite an investment in their offense back during the 2008 draft. With the 34th-overall pick, they drafted Devin Thomas, who many thought was the best wide receiver in the draft. Then they used the No. 48-overall selection to grab USC tight end Fred Davis (the pick before DeSean Jackson…oops!). And with [...]
Anyone who watches football knows that Rush Limbaugh has a bit of a history with Washington Redskins QB Donovan McNabb. Back in 2003 when McNabb got off to a rough start, Rush made comments on ESPN’s NFL Countdown that essentially said that he never thought Donovan was that good and that the media had been [...]
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 [...]
Before we go any farther, let me state that this little nugget (thanks, Peter) comes from a guy who covers the Miami Dolphins. That’s not to say it isn’t true, but it didn’t come from someone in Washington D.C., Nashville or Austin, TX. Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel has a story on who [...]
We mentioned back in February that a waitress at the W Hotel in Washington D.C. had accused Washington Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth of sexual assault. It sounded a lot worse at first and then we found out he essentially fondled her boob while paying his tab. Still not appropriate at all, but you hear “sexual [...]
We have to admit that we miss former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell. Whether he was downing sizzurp like it was his job, or never taking responsibility for his awful, awful play on the field, the former No. 1-overall pick was always entertaining…even if it wasn’t in a good way. Now, sources tell Jason Cole [...]
It can be very difficult to look at the statistics of cornerbacks in the NFL and be able to tell who is really good and who is not so good. Some people see a lot of interceptions and think a player is really good, even though it could be that there is a reason balls [...]
With league transactions ceasing tonight at midnight barring an extension of the CBA, the Washington Redskins were able to slip in a fairly big signing right at the zero hour. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the ‘Skins signed former Rams safety O.J. Atogwe. It’s reportedly a five-year, $26 million deal, but who really knows [...]
Oh boy. Either there are some opportunistic folks down in the Washington D.C. area trying to make a few bucks, or Albert Haynesworth’s behavior has taken a significant turn for the worse. About a week and a half ago, a man accused the Washington Redskins defensive tackle of getting out of his car and assaulting [...]
Either you really can’t go out to a club as an NFL player and not get messed with, or these dudes are hanging out at the wrong clubs, at the wrong times, with the wrong people. Washington Redskins return man Brandon Banks was involved in a double stabbing that left him with superficial knife wounds, [...]
Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has had his share of incidents since entering the NFL in 2002. Chalk this one up to being the latest. According to the Washington Post, the 29-year old has been charged with simple assault regarding a road rage incident on the Fairfax County Parkway. A Redskins executive was surprised [...]
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 [...]
