Jim Zorn Named Head Coach of Redskins

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
In a somewhat bizarre turn of events, the Washington Redskins announced Jim Zorn as their new head coach today. What makes this so unusual is that Coach Zorn was appointed as the team’s offensive coordinator just two weeks ago.
There was certainly not a lack of interest in […]

‘Skins Fire Assistants Williams and Saunders, Head Coaching Position Remains Open

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
It was a very busy day at Redskins Park. When Joe Gibbs stepped down as the head coach of the Washington Redskins a couple weeks ago, I felt his replacement was quite possibly already in-house. Or at least a couple good candidates were already in-house — defensive coordinator […]

Joe Gibbs Retires as Redskins Head Coach

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
Joe Gibbs retired (for the second time) as head coach of the Washington Redskins today. As he leaves the sidelines once again, I can’t think of a classier man who has served as head coach in the National Football League. He was everything that is good about the […]

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
The NFC’s hottest team almost found a way to pull this one out. Then reality hit. As quickly as the Washington Redskins had rallied to earn a one-point lead after being shut out in the first half, they let it slip away. Actually, the Seattle Seahawks took it […]

Washington Grabs Last NFC Playoff Spot, Todd Collins Leads ‘Skins Over Cowboys

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
I’m shocked at what the Washington Redskins have accomplished. It took the ‘Skins one game after the death of teammate Sean Taylor to refocus and rededicate their 2007 season to his memory. The result has been four straight wins and an unlikely NFC Wild Card playoff berth after […]

Todd Collins Leads Redskins Over Bears, Backup QB Keeps Playoff Hopes Alive

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
What Washington Redskins quarterback Todd Collins did last night was truly remarkable. Here’s a guy who hasn’t attempted a pass of any sort in three years. And he hasn’t thrown a touchdown pass in five years. But after starting QB Jason Campbell went down with a knee injury, […]

Redskins Honor Sean Taylor but Lose to Buffalo Bills 17-16 on Last-Second Field Goal

Blogging the National Football League, Blogging the NFL
I didn’t know what to expect from the Washington Redskins today. After a tumultuous week in which they lost one of their own (safety Sean Taylor was tragically killed earlier this week), it was anyone’s guess what the team’s performance would be like today against the Buffalo Bills. […]

As the Washington Redskins try to come to terms with the shooting death of one of their own, safety Sean Taylor, Miami-Dade County police are saying there are no indications that Sean was specifically targeted or even knew his assailant. Apparently, one or more intruders entered […]
