Waiver Wire, 10/20/2006



News and notes from the world of the Redskins.

Skin Patrol at Hogs Haven has a good preview of the Colts game, and proving that mo meta is mo betta, I'm linking to his Redskins roundup.

Master4Caster at Running Redskins says Redskins have to go at least 9-1 from here on out to win the division, and maps out the rest of the schedule.

David Gaines at Skinsaphrenia echoes conventional wisdom about how the Redskins beat the Colts: keep Peyton off the field. Run Clinton Run!

Counter Trey writes about something that's been on my mind for some time. Twice now, Art Monk has been passed over by the Hall of Fame. Look at his numbers. He at one time, he held the record for most receptions and most consecutive games with a reception. Why do asshole sportswriters pass him over every year? Because he never made a spectacle of himself. They were left to cover only his play and his numbers. For some reason, they resent Art for that and now pretend that in the lens of today's game and record holders that Art was somehow not the best receiver in the game. Art Monk for Hall of Fame!

Dan Oshinsky at Extra Points writes about how the Newseum is pushing a long ago story from a far away Redskins team: 2001.

Rich at Tandler's Redskins Blog has a good long take on the Titans game, including some key plays and turning points. Good discussion in comments as well.

CNYSkinFan at War Cry:


We all know what is wrong with the team. Hr has plenty of articles and threads addressing what is wrong. The offense is out of synch and too complicated. The defense can not tackle or cover. The special teams are inconsistent. And the Front Office has made several infuriating trades and big signs that have just not worked out.

He also has a list of 5 Redskins whose jobs are on the line.

Post of the week goes to Lee at The Redskin Report:

Joe Gibbs screwed up.

It gets better from there. Go read it.

Finally, DC SportsChick offers some words of motivation for the Redskins.
