Projecting Ahead: How do the Redskins stand after the cap penalty? | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
The thought has come up recently that given the cap penalty of $18 million in 2012 and 2013, the Redskins will be in a prime salary cap position come 2014 offseason, allowing them to be aggressive on the open market. Now there is obviously a lot that can happen between now and 2014, but these are the kinds of long term projections that teams will do.

Huff was almost 50 years old at the time.

Film breakdown: Brandon Banks fumbled on 7 kick/punt returns last year, somehow didn’t lose any – Blogging the bEast

Lsst season, Brandon Banks either muffed or fumbled 7 times on kick and punt returns. I’ll give the little guy credit – At least he’s scrappy enough to recover his fumbles, and he was able to fall on 5 of them. But obviously, this is totally unacceptable football. Frankly, it’s mind-boggling that the Redskins never replaced him last season.

The Redskins Blog | Future Bright For Kerrakpo, Williams

"Orakpo won’t turn 26 until the end of July and has already accomplished quite a bit in the NFL. He might be just a step behind the truly elite athletes on this list, but Orakpo is no slouch. He is also durable, consistent and tough — attributes that can’t be overlooked and rub off on his teammates. Led by Orakpo, the Redskins have a good defensive front that is quite young. Last year’s first-round pick Ryan Kerrigan should be an excellent pass-rushing edge complement to Orakpo for years to come."

This is the longest year of your life supposedly for rookies coming straight out of college, going right into combine training, pro days, mini-camps, OTA’s, it just keeps going.

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | Word of Muth: Scouting the Rams
What shocked me though was the Rams’ lack of a game plan to help Saffold. Early in the game, the idea seemed to be "let Saffold handle Orakpo one on one." This would allow them to send help (tight ends, running backs, and half slides) to help Jason Smith. Once Orakpo made a couple plays in the first half, the Rams came out in the second half and changed nothing. Actually, they went to a lot of five-man protections in the second half and removed Smith’s help as well.
