Award Time
Hey guys, been a long, rough week, and I'm pressed for time today. So, I'm going to be quick with the awards. 1 TCCL - Me. Haven't been able to blog enough this week. Shame on me. 2 TCCL - Deep Snap. Or Deep Throat. Or whoever the covert op...

Injuries
Okay, from what we saw of practice, looked like Jansen was back entirely. Of course, he might set out the final hour of practice after we get the boot, but that's what I know for now. Cartwright and Wright were out - we'll find out why after practice. Khary Campbell...

The Atlanta Vulcans
Didn't realize just how inept Atlanta's passing game has been until I started checking them out this week. They make Washington's receivers look like the 1980 San Diego Chargers (one of my all-time favs, Winslow, Joiner and my favorite player growing up and the Redskins current director of player development...

JC - The High School Years
By popular demand, here's a chunk of text I found in my laptop after returning from my trip To Taylorsville and Auburn: Campbell took the reigns at Taylorsville High School his sophomore season, and Coach Shannon White inherited a strong crop of talent when he came to the school that...

JC - Beyond The Numbers
I'm a stats guy. I admit it. If you read my stuff you've probably already made that determination. But I'm no Moneyball freakazoid. I'm a scout guy, also. An "eye" guy if you will. What you see means something, no matter what's in the box score. And after reading all...

No Vanderjagt
Skins not interested, they say, so its Suisham and Novak this week. Enjoy....

Suisham's Back
Okay, Sahun is back at The Park with is luggage and like I posted a few hours ago, Skins will eventually announce him signed to the practice squad. Practice swaud receiver Ryan Hoag left the building a while back with his stuff in a clear garbage bag, which is generally...

Suisham Has Left the Building
He was here in street clothes with no luggage or workout stuff, so chances are he didn't do much on the field. I would be shocked if the Skins signed a kicker of his ilk without having him compete first, so I imagine it was more of a looksee for...

Shaun Suisham In The Hizzy
So the Skins say former Dallas kicker Shaun Suisham is coming for a visit today, which technically could mean just a meet-and-greet and not an actually a work out. From what I am told he is the only kicker coming today. Suisham and Vanderjagt have the same agent, so if...

Kicking It With The Kickers
So the Skins will be marching a few kickers in this morning after all. Still efforting to nail down who exactly will be here, but I heard last night that Vanderjagt is leaning towards sitting on his millions from the Cowboys, returning to Toronto to be with his kid for...

Monday Morning H-Back
Maybe it was the giddiness of a big win to stave off complete collapse. Maybe it was a strange, lingering side effect from too much turkey over the weekend. Or perhaps Coach Joe is just becoming more convinced by the half. Whatever the reason, he was more buoyant and enthused...

Inactives
So will Reed Doughty play ahead of Archuleta this week? He's active, so it could be. Vernon Fox is up also. No surprises from the rest of the group. Vincent and Patten still hurt. Rumph, Molinaro, Boschetti, Whitley and Montgomery also down. Little surprised that under the circumstances there are...
