Chris Samuels joins Alabama as offensive line assistant Former Washington Redskins tackle Chris Samuels has accepted an assistant coaching position with his alma mater, the University of Alabama, where he will work with the offensive line while completing his degree.  

Mike Shanahan has to win out the last two games of the 2011 season to pass the winning percentages racked up by Jim Zorn and Steve Spurrier during their two-year stints as Redskins coaches. But as cruel as the standings have been to Shanahan's reputation as a coach since he got here, the recent box scores [...]  

As a Ravens fan quipped last week at Pickles Pub in Baltimore, "didn't the Redskins have a bye season?," it has seemed that way to fans for say, the last decade. Only John Travolta has arguably suffered more in the 2000s. Three Razzie nominations? Battlefield Earth? Domestic Disturbance? Old Dogs?  C'mon John! This is Shanahan and Bruce Allen's third draft together. To quote Fabolous, "death ...

In the final dog days of another losing season, the Washington Redskins played the distraction game -- by trotting out a reminder from the glory days. Out came the three polished Super Bowl trophies. In walked owner Dan Snyder to rattle off some statistics from an era before he bought the team. The guest of honor: Richie Petitbon, the defensive coordinator whose name is on all three of those...  

The Washington Redskins made a lineup change for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, starting Willie Smith at left tackle for Sean Locklear. Smith, who had been splitting snaps in practice this week, will go against Giants right end Jason Pierre-Paul, the NFC defensive player of the week. Tyler Polumbus gets his second straight start at right tackle for the injured Jammal Brown.  

If only the Redskins could play the Giants every week. That's what Washington's players were thinking Sunday after upsetting the Giants 23-10, damaging New York's playoff chances and sweeping the season series. Washington dominated almost from the outset, even though Rex Grossman threw two long interceptions in the first quarter.  

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning had three interceptions on Sunday as part of the Giants' staunch refusal to win or even represent themselves with any pride. Washington Redskins safety O.J. Atogwe came up with this one, the prettiest of … Continue reading →

MetLife Stadium was left lifeless Sunday afternoon once Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan sacked New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning on fourth down with roughly 9 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. New York (7-7) was down 23-3 at the time and eventually lost...  

If the Washington Redskins want a blueprint for 2012, this is pretty close. A diverse offensive attack that controls the clock and keeps the other team guessing. A defense that pressures up front and makes momentum-swinging plays in the secondary. A game in which the Redskins actually commit fewer turnovers than the opposition -- something that hadn't happened before in 2011.  

When the Washington Redskins coaching career of one Richie Petitbon came to an end back in 1993, it was a sad moment for all true fans of the team. Petitbon had been with the team every year since 1978 in some coaching capacity and was named the head coach in 1992.  

When London Fletcher peeled off his shirt while listening to a question at his locker Tuesday, a Washington Redskins public relations intern tried to halt the proceedings. Fletcher -- a defensive co-captain, of all people -- was violating a team policy that requires a player to be wearing a shirt while being interviewed on camera.  

Could co-captain London Fletcher, the true team leader, be playing his final home game in Washington on Saturday against Minnesota? The NFL's top tackler (with 146 stops) and the Redskins both hope that's not the case, but very few 36-year-old linebackers have ever had so much leverage with their contracts expiring. "He's playing at a very, very high level," said Redskins coach Mike Shanahan. "You want him on your football team. You want him...  

When Willie Smith became the only undrafted rookie to make the Washington Redskins' opening day roster, he celebrated by spiffing up his 2000 all-white Crown Victoria. "I noticed that he had got his windows tinted and he had gotten rims on it," running back Roy Helu said, "so I just joked around and said how he's changed ever since he's made it big-time." Helu has...  

Concussions are keeping Minnesota Vikings seven-time Pro Bowl left guard Steve Hutchinson and cornerback Asher Allen out of Saturday's game against the Washington Redskins.

He has started every game in nine of his 12 NFL seasons, missing 12 with a broken leg in 2002 and five...  

It took the struggling Minnesota Vikings as many plays as they had wins to watch their season somehow get worse Saturday. That's when the 2-12 Vikings lost running back Adrian Peterson and quarterback Christian Ponder on back-to-back plays against the Washington Redskins.  

Officially, the Washington Redskins sold out their 368th consecutive home game on Sunday, extending an NFL record. More officially, the NFL's sellout streaks are a bunch of nonsense. FedEx Field has capacity for 82,000 fans. Announced attendance on Sunday was … Continue reading →  

By David Elfin The Sports Xchange LANDOVER, Md. -- On a day that Minnesota superstar running back Adrian Peterson went down with an apparently serious injury to his left knee on the first play of the second half and rookie quarterback Christian Ponder exited with a concussion on...  

From the moment Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder were hurt on the first two offensive plays of the second half, the Minnesota Vikings seemed doomed to their longest single-season losing streak since they were a baby NFL franchise 50 years ago. But wait a minute. Or a half, actually. Toby Gerhart and Joe Webb answered the call.  

LANDOVER, Md. - From the moment Adrian Peterson and Christian Ponder were hurt on the first two offensive plays of the second half, the Minnesota Vikings seemed doomed to their longest single-season losing streak since they were a baby NFL franchise 50 years ago.  

Last Saturday, against the Washington Redskins, fans watched in horror as Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson's knee broke the laws of anatomy. Unfortunately for Peterson and the Vikings, the consequences might be costlier than just missing the last game of the 2011...

Instead of playing for the playoffs, Mike Shanahan is playing to match Jim Zorn. The Washington Redskins must win their regular-season finale Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles for Shanahan to equal the two-year record of his predecessor, a coach who was undermined by management and fired in the middle of the night.  

The Philadelphia Eagles played their best football too late. Michael Vick threw for 335 yards and three touchdown passes, including a 62-yarder to DeSean Jackson, and the Eagles beat the Washington Redskins 34-10 Sunday for their fourth straight win. But the Eagles (8-8) are going home despite the strong finish after failing to qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2007 and just the...  

The Redskins finished the second season of the Mike Shanahan era Sunday with a 34-10 loss in Philadelphia, their 10th defeat in their last 12 games. Washington ended up 5-11, the worst record of the coach's 17 full NFL seasons. The season-ending defeat also dropped Shanahan to 2-4 in the NFC East this year and 4-8 during his tenure. Washington went 1-4 in December/January to fall to 2-8 in those months under Shanahan. Outside linebacker Brian...

The Washington Redskins' record is a matter of perspective. Steve Spurrier infamously proclaimed 5-11 was "not very good" after his 2003 season with Washington. He quit the next day, done with the NFL after two years and a 12-20 record. Mike Shanahan's spin couldn't be more different.  

One has to wonder the reaction that London Fletcher has each year when Pro Bowl rosters are announced. Yes the middle linebacker of the Washington Redskins has gone to the game the last two years. However, those appearances were as a result of other players opting out or dealing...  

Watching the Fiesta Bowl January 2, I can see that Andrew Luck is a supreme talent. He has a great arm and has that knack for escaping situations where other quarterbacks would surely be sacked. Robert Griffin III (RG3) also appears to be a great quarterback of the future.  

A judge in Miami has set an April 16 trial date for the alleged shooter in the 2007 killing of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor. Four men accused in the slaying will be tried separately. The judge said Friday that the first to stand trial will be 21-year-old Eric Rivera Jr. Trial dates for the others have not been set.  

One can only imagine what things will be said if the Washington Redskins sign a big ticket free agent this offseason. Oh, here we go, Daniel Snyder is at it again. That will be the first thing out of millions of Washington fans' mouths the moment that the Redskins sign any free...  

As NFL fans, you all know you do the same thing. For some, it might happen at the end of the season when the list of next year's opponents is posted. For others, it comes in April when the NFL schedule is announced. Yes, it is the annual fan preseason examination of wins and...  

Given a quarterback battery that features John Beck and Rex Grossman, it's understandable that fans of the Washington Redskins would be looking with a sharp eye at the Peyton Manning situation in Indianapolis -- a drama that looks more and … Continue reading →  

There once was a time that the Washington Redskins were considered the Super Bowl champs of the offseason. They would be the first team with a jet in the air to bring in the big name prospect. That mindset has simmered down a bit with the arrival of Mike Shanahan and Bruce Allen.  

Quarterbacks Jay Cutler of the Chicago Bears and Rex Grossman of the Washington Redskins are among six NFL players urging Indiana lawmakers to oppose right-to-work legislation. Cutler, from Santa Claus, Ind., and Grossman, from Bloomington, joined New Orleans' Courtney Roby, Pittsburgh's Trai Essex, St.  

The Washington Redskins say they won't be raising general admission ticket prices for the 2012 season. The Redskins said Friday the prices have remained unchanged since the last increase in 2006. General admission tickets range from $29 to $99 at FedEx Field. The Redskins have sold out every game since 1966, but the team downsized its stadium by about 10,000 seats last season.  

From the minute the 2011 Super Bowl ended, I had an uneasy feeling of emptiness. After all, any knowledgeable football fan could sense that the NFL was going on strike, negating a normal offseason. For Washington Redskins fans, that is the time of year we live for.  

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Raheem Morris is headed to the Washington Redskins to coach the defensive backs. The 35-year-old Morris was fired by the Bucs last week after a 4-12 season. He had a 17-31 record in three seasons at Tampa Bay. Morris told the Tampa Bay Times on Wednesday that "part of the selling point" was that the Redskins will allow him to seek other opportunities...

1991 looms as one of the last times that the Washington Redskins nation was truly happy. During that magical season, the Redskins went 14-2 in the regular season. The team then breezed into the Super Bowl and dispatched the Buffalo Bills to win their third Vince Lombardi trophy.  

The 2011 Washington Redskins' season was anything but spectacular. The team dealt with a myriad of injuries and other issues that left the team sinking to a 5-11 record. No one will argue the biggest problem was the quarterback position, where the level of play was simply...  

Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and his crew of coaches descended on Alabama to coach the 2012 Senior Bowl South team on January 23. As is traditional with the Redskins though, they do not arrive quietly. In a short press briefing, Washington formally announced numerous...  

It would be so easy for the Washington Redskins to cast a glance back to the season that could have been in 2011. They sit currently with a 5-9 record, but they were about this close to being in the thick of the race for the Eastern Division title.  

I can hear the chuckling as I sit here in my office chair. Is the author of this article on medication? Well actually I am, but that is beside the point. The Washington Redskins watched on January 15 like everyone else and saw the N.Y.  

As I sit in a seat at FedEx Field each season, I find my mind wandering back sometimes to what used to be. Sure this new state of the art stadium with its fancy scoreboards and touchdown clubs is nice, but it is missing something.  

The Washington Redskins shocked the football world when they traveled to New York and thumped the Giants on December 18. It was total domination on both sides of the ball and showed that this team holds promise going into 2012.  

As a Washington Redskins fan, it is not a stretch for me to say that we have not been good for more than a decade now. A playoff appearance or two were made during that time, but for the most part the teams have been horrible.  

The Washington Redskins just concluded their 2011 season and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. Many fans would say they could see this coming, given the quarterback situation we went into the season with.  

LANDOVER, Md. - Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was scheduled for an MRI late Saturday after taking a direct hit to his left knee in Saturday's 33-26 win over the Washington Redskins.
