Coach Joe Is On The Warpath/Moss Doubtful
Wow, Coach Joe wanted no part of the media today (can't blame him for that) and engaged in some of testy exchanges. Made for good theatre. Okay, Ill get back to that in a minute. First the news. Santana did not practice and is listed as doubtful. He didn't rule...

An Open Letter To Dan Snyder
Okay, so I'm the last dude who should ever be asking you for a favor, but I see a little opportunity for us to do some business together. Well, actually, you would be doing all the business and I'd be at best worthy of a meager finder's fee, but hear...

Portis Says He Is Playing/Moss Not Looking Good
That pretty much says it all. Lloyd sat out practice with a bruised shin, leading to lots of raised eyebrows. This thing with him won't end well, but we already knew that, right? Given how the season has gone I could see him perhaps being in no hurry to get...

No Lloyd or Moss
Brandon Lloyd was not on the field for practice at all and Santana Moss was still in no pads doing running and agility on his own and not taking part. Can't say it looks good for them to play this weekend, but we shall see. Waiting to see what the...

Injuries
It will be up to Santana when he returns to practice, Gibbs said. Clinton took limited work but is expected to play, Gibbs said. Lloyd got kicked in the shin and had to miss part of practice, but X-Rays were negative. Sean Taylor missed part of practice with his bruised...

Moss Not Looking Good
Santana Moss (left groin) tried to job a bit and do some agility drills, but was not moving smoothly and after a few minutes of work on the sidelines in shorts and a t-shirt during practice he had to stop and get the groin iced down, then retreated to the...

Second Half Leftovers
A bunch of research on the Redskins' second half woes didn't make it in the paper (never enough space, eh?), so I'll post it here. I can't get the formatting right for this chart, so I'll explain it here. HT Score is the at the half of these games, then...

Portis Update
Bubba Tyer just came in to clarify Clinton's injury. Yesterday Coach Joe said that Clinton had suffered another bout of tendinitis in his right knee, but that was incorrect. Gibbs was assuming that was the case, according to the club, and misspoke, but Bubba just told us that Clinton actually...

Things That Make You Go Hmmmm
Anyone else wonder if just maybe the fact that Clinton Portis has tendinitis now might have something to do with why he wasn't in the game for those final two plays in Week 3? I mean, unless he hurt himself slipping in the locker room after the game or something,...

Portis and Moss
Hey there, here's what will probably end up being the top few paragraphs on tomorrow's story. The tendinitis is back in Portis's knee and though they believe it is minor this is the kind of thing you had to fear coming into the year; in a contact sport like this...

Injuries
Portis and Moss were not practicing at all. Smoot (hamstring) seemd to be restricted in what he was doing, but, we don't get to see the real part of practice so we don't know anything for sure until Coach Joe speaks after practice. Landry, who cut his hand before the...

McCardell For Stoutmire/Santana Hurting (UPDATED)
Looked like Omar was saying his goodbyes in the locker room this morning and the players are all assuming Keenan McCardell will be signed. (Found out that Omar was informed he is being released, but that if he's available and any safeties get hurt, he would be re-signed. they like...

McCardell In The House
Spoke to some people in the building who said Keenan was here by 8 am. Everyone assuming a deal will get done, but no official confirmation yet. I have not seen him since I've been here, but, given that we are pretty much restricted to one little cranny of the...

McCardell Deal
From what I gather this is basically a done deal. Seems like everything is agreed to on both sides and I'd be stunned if WR Keenan McCardell is not practicing with the team by Monday. The Redskins need to make a roster move to open up space for him, and...

Gameday Sunday!
Sure, he didn't actually send a guestblog, but Chris Larry asked for a gameday thread, so here we go! I'm untanned and rested and ready for some fubball....
