The Washington Redskins put forth a poor effort in a surprising, 30-16 loss to the host St. Louis Rams.
Washington’s secondary continues to be an area of major concern, and it’s likely changes are coming in the near future.
It also didn’t help that quarterback Donovan McNabb played poorly behind an offensive line that struggled to give him the time needed to hit open receivers down the field.
Washington was coming off an emotional loss to the Houston Texans and was on the road for the first time this season, so maybe that was a big factor. ( Read More…)

The Redskins put together a fantastic defensive effort in the first half, limiting the Texans to just seven points.
The second half was a different story, as the Redskins couldn’t slow down Houston’s ramped up passing attack.

The Washington Redskins do not anticipate starting defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Haynesworth and the team continue to be at odds with each other, and the fued continued into the final preseason game.
The Redskins played Haynesworth for the entire game, something very few of the other players had to do, much less one of the game’s top guys at his position.
The defensive tackle was clearly angered and embarassed by the decision and declined to comment to the media after the game. ( Read More…)

The Washington Redskins have signed backup quarterback John Beck to a three-year contract worth more than $3 million.
The Redskins acquired Beck during training camp from the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for cornerback Doug Dutch.
The Ravens have already cut Dutch after he was torched in both training camp and in preseason games.
It looks like the Redskins got the far better end of this trade, as Beck could be a solid backup for years to come. ( Read More…)

He said that Zorn was very hands-on and could have become a good coach but that Snyder got in the way.
Snyder didn’t trust Zorn the way he did Joe Gibbs and therefore became too involved with the team. ( Read More…)
