Mr. Smith returns to Washington

Alex Smith threw a short sideline route that felt like victory. The quarterback returned to the field for the first time since suffering a badly broken leg in Nov. 2018 that required 17 operations and nearly proved deadly because of infection. He nearly lost the leg and endured months of a ghastly metal brace.

Choosing quarterbacks is never ‘comfortable'

Let me make this clear – I think that Dwayne Haskins will be the starting quarterback for the Washington Football Team. There are too many circumstances working in favor of that outcome and also too many working against any other result.

Stand and Deliver

Dwayne Haskins sometimes looked more like a film maker than a quarterback over the off season. He wanted fans to see how hard he was working so a constant Twitter stream of flicks showed the second-year passer hitting deep balls to someone running in a park.

NO PRESSURE, NO DIAMOND - Redskins fans today, tomorrow, forever

There will be much to miss about the death of the Redskins name. You will be reminded of it every time you put a Sonny Jurgensen, John Riggins or Sean Taylor jersey on. You will remember your life as a Redskins fan every time you go through your closet and find some old programs, or your scrapbook to see ticket stubs.

5 reasons to hope

Every year, Washington Redskins fans feel things have to get better. After all, what’s worse than a 3-13 season where the defense allowed 31 points or more in half the games, prime time blowouts were common and the stands were filled with opposing fans? When the Detroit Lions outdraw locals at FedEx Field, it’s time to re-evaluate.
