Redskins in a unique position, more QB speculation...
Reading the web and cruising through twitter I came upon this article on NFL Salary cap projections SunSentinal.com
Top-20 DMV Twitter
Congrats! Very well deserved and nice statements...
HogsHaven (@HogsHaven): @Above_Legit: One of the most up-to-date blogs on the web, Hogs Haven generates a ton of interest among Redskins fans. It’s constantly updated with analysis of games, the latest from within the organization and provides great insight on the team. Judging by his near 15K tweets, I’d say hes a Twitter must follow. @Callahan_9: Best Redskins blog bar none! @John_Atchison: "What A wonderful group of Redskins fanatics in my opinion. They seem like a group I would be hanging with in a local bar talking sports and talking smack!

Pepsi Rookie of the Week
Help Vote Roy for Rookie of the Week, should be no contest
Cooley get's it!
In a league full of glad-handing and ass slapping between competing teams, I actually care about the organization and fan base that has supported me throughout my 8-year career. While I feel an honest respect for all NFL players, I show no remorse in cheering against another team, especially the Cowboys. If it sounded like I was delighted by Tony Romo’s failure last week, I was. Though I have no personal vendetta toward Romo, my feelings for him had nothing to do with me reveling in a divisional foe blowing the biggest 2nd half lead in the history of its proud franchise. Now before the rivalry-igniting defense of my comments, I would like to state a couple of facts:
Any question on why Cooley is loved...He is real HTTR and Cooley

Sav Rocca-Redskins punter!
@Mr_Henson51 Robert Henson
Just got released later Redskin faithful it's been real!!
I'm motivated outta the ass right now I'm gonna bust my ass and when/if I ever come back on the other sideline beware!!!
A LB released does this mean a potential signing or players coming off of the PUP list

2011 Redskins via The Om Field
We are heading into Year Two of a new regime, conceived and coordinated by professionals who have succeeded at the highest levels of the game.
Ask yourself how many wins in a given season can be attributed directly to talent. Then ask yourself how many can be attributed to a team being a team.
Statements like this remind me why I'm a Redskin fan,...
Gibbs winning three superbowls with 3 different QB, no names who became names because they won as a group, teams the exceeded expectations without all the name recognition until they had won...Shanahan and Allen appear to be building that type of team...Let's give it time to work!
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter Filed to ESPN: Washington traded DT Albert Haynesworth to the New England Patriots for a fifth-round pick in 2013.
After the second round
Redskin's are being run by grown-ups and learning, this year may not work out perfect but...it builds with a plan and a system...GREAT picks
Garrett keeps Cowboys' coaching job
Well that helps the girls...
I have been truly impressed with the way everyone has shown up and worked. Of course I understand the endless cycle of offseason anticipation, as well as I fully realize that we have gone through Super Bowl winning June's in Ashburn for a long time. But honestly, there is a true reason for fans to get ready to "cheer their asses off" this season (Shannahanism).
Redskins sign Furrey to bolster receiving corps
Which is really a non-issue signing but a signing none the less, more important is the quote
The team made other roster moves Wednesday, releasing linebacker Alvin Bowen, defensive lineman Antoine Holmes, cornerback Marcus McCauley and tight end Sean Ryan.
This should mean all the Draft picks will be signed shortly!
Redskins' Derrick Dockery Is A Man On A Mission
Henry Ford was quoted as saying:
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right!"
The offensive line appears to have a point to prove and is believing they can!
If it's not Eagle players, then it's Buc's personnel
The always reliable, (cough, cough),PFT is reporting that Williams and the Buc's are no longer together.
No, not the Roster Williams, but Superbowl QB Doug Williams
Interesting; TE to a successful tackle has happened in the Past
Maybe carrying so many TE on the Redskins Roster can be a positive, if a TE can convert to a successful tackle
Redskins Add Draft to Linebacker Corps
The Redskins have signed veteran linebacker Chris Draft, the team announced on Friday.
Another solid Veteran to challenge the younger players, If you look at New England and who they add each year, along with all the Draft picks they always seem to pickup the solid Vet players who fit into their system, which is not always the big name player, see Jason Taylor. A LB who fit's into playing this system. Really only leaves 2 roster spots open for all the "Try-out" players this weekend
A Roster Review, no evaluations, Just the Roster
Add a Galloway and with the Draft picks and the two (THAT's 2!) UDFA, the Roster stands at 85 players!
NFL Rule:
Prior to the start of NFL summer camp, each team is allowed 80 players on their offseason roster.
The Redskins are at "85", The Max is 80 so what gives?
A 4-12 team has magically become an 8-8 team?
Redskins under the direction of new Head Coach Mike Shanahan and GM Bruce Allen have used the off-season to change the team from a 4-12 team to an 8-8 team, and this has been accomplished with specific and strategic moves not the :"flashy" signings of the years past

DeAngelo Hall says Skins will dominate NFC East
"It's based on the talent we feel like we've got," he said. "It's based on the improvements I feel like we've made. It's based on the scheme. The scheme alone is gonna give us four or five more wins. The games we lost by two, three points, we'll win those games, easy.
Very nice to have a player excited going into the season, unlike season pasts when the players recognized the talent but the only ones excited where the Vinny and the Dan.
Super bowl, what can the Redskins learn
The elder statesmen puts into perspective what the Redskins can learn from the Superbowl winning teams.

Allen: 'We're going 100 mph getting ready for free agency'
The future is different: Allen and Shanahan are building the future, which does not mean a lot of things will not be changing this year but the PLAN will be...
We are going to have a new style of defense, we are going to have a new style of offense," general manager Bruce Allen said today on ESPN 980.
"It's going to be Redskins football, and the pieces we can acquire this year will be the first steps to building that philosophy."
And that is what it is all about
Redskins add Sean McVay as offensive assistant
As previously reported, the Redskins have retained Steve Jackson as safeties coach, and the team today also announced the hiring of Sean McVay as an offensive assistant.
This is not just a "Sean McVay", but Sean McVay son of Tim and Cindy McVay ... grandfather, John McVay, who joined the San Francisco 49ers in 1980. He collaborated with head coach Bill Walsh in one of the most successful dynasties in NFL history. As vice president/director of football operations, he presided over five Super Bowl-winning seasons. He was named NFL Executive of the Year in 1989.
The Redskin now have on staff, Future Coach and Future GM excutive, the first dynasty to cover the next 25 years...Whoo-Hooo!
It's the Line Stupid
All the talk about QB's, dynamic players (game changers as some call them), special teams, defensive schemes and coaches it really comes down to one thing in the NFL: The offensive line!
An old(&new) political mantra was "It's the economy, Stupid" :Which for politicians should be easy to understand and adopt because people are happy if they are working, making and spending money.
It's not quite as elementary for football people to see and understand because it's so easy to get enamored with the next great QB, RB, Defensive Back, or WR but in the End
IT’S THE LINE STUPID!

"Shocking" Redskins make signing but it's not Shanahan...
While the fans and everyone awaits for the signing of the new Redskins coach, everyone is focused on the Mike Shanahan
Bugel decision may affect timing of announcement
Joe Bugel expected to retire, appears the Redskins will handle it right with a focus on Bugel instead of the coaching game per the post.
Ben at the Curly-R, a great read for those who do not the sight: Did not lose his bet:
How bout if it all turns out right and the Redskins are a winner and I had to admit Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato called this one right? How bout I am so confident that won't happen that I will pledge never to write another mean thing about Dan Snyder if the Redskins win a Super Bowl under Jim Zorn.
How bout if in a few years I had to apologize to Dan Snyder over all this? How bout my love for the Redskins is greater than my dislike of the Redskins' owner.
Cerrato Resigns
Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Clause:
Could it be the best Christmas present ever for Redskins fans?
NFL find no tampering violations by the Redskins from the Albert Haynesworth signing. More to come at NFL.com
Jason La Confora
Injuries keep adding up
Update: DeAngelo Hall has a sprained knee and is likely to miss 1 game.
Not big news but....Portis, Betts and Rinehart
- Betts has an MCL tear
- Rinehart has a broken Fibula
- Portis is ruled out next week against Philly
There is talk about bringing Mason back...
Samuels-Peter King names a Hog
In all the turmoil about the offensive line everyone has noted that Chris Samuels has been placed on IR.
