Today with the cutting of Jon Jansen the Redskins released their longest tenured player from the team. If this move has been in the works for a while one must wonder why the Redskins didn’t go after an offensive lineman in the later rounds of the draft.
One reason is coaches and front office members like [...]
Si.com’s recent list of best backfields in the NFL ranked the Redskins 26th overall. At first I thought having Washington placed at the 26th slot was some sort of way of paying homage to the team’s second all time leading rusher, Clinton Portis.
But in the same fashion as the article, I was way off. They [...]
In the wake of the recent appeals court ruling allowing the Washington Redskins to keep their name and trademark several questions have been asked in regard to whether or not the team should change their name. If the moniker Redskins was meant to be slanderous and demeaning from the starting point of the team, then [...]
NFL teams are now being allowed to have deals with lottery companies, and the Redskins are the second team to announce they have a deal already with a state lottery. The team announced Friday a partnership with a state lottery, taking advantage of a new league rule designed to bring in more revenue during [...]
Oh the vast emptiness and boringness of the NFL off-season. It’s especially excruciating if any of the non-happenings don’t pertain to your favorite team.
For me, it doesn’t matter if the Brett Favre comes back. I’m not concerned with where Plaxico ends up or How many people attended Tom Brady’s wedding. As a Redskins fanatic, I [...]
The Washington Post reports that the Skins have won another round in court:
The Washington Redskins won another legal victory today to protect the team’s trademarks in a fight with Native Americans who say the name is disparaging. The appeals court backed a ruling last year by U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly that an activist had [...]
One General Manager has an aging, yet still capable defensive star on his squad whose focus doesn’t seem to be 100% on football and carries a pretty hefty salary cap hit.
Another GM has a sudden hole to fill on his defensive line and capitalizes on the first GM’s displeasure with the defensive star, negotiating a [...]
Listening to Sirius NFL Radio this week, I was struck by some sound from an interview with Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall on Brian Orakpo and the coaches’ decision to work him out at linebacker. If you had simply read the quote, you would have seen that Hall thought Orakpo “looks great” executing drills during [...]
At Lamar High School in Houston, Texas, Brian Orakpo lettered three times at defensive end. He was a two-time first-team All-District choice and helped his team to a 29-8 mark during those three seasons. Brian was recruited to the University of Texas as a defensive end prospect.
While at UT, Orakpo was named Defensive Freshman of [...]
I got tripped up at practice the other day and I felt a tweak in my right hamstring. It’s the same one I hurt last preseason so I want to be real careful about it.
It was just a little aggravated, a little sore and I wanted to sit out and wait until it felt better, [...]
