Redskins Insider: March 22, 2009 - March 28, 2009
Position Battle: Left DE
For now, we can't honestly call this a battle. There is only one person on the roster with every-down NFL experience at this position and that is the recently signed Renaldo Wynn. But you'd have to think that even if Phillip Daniels -- the long-time starter at this spot --...

WR Thomas Looks to Turn It Around
Following disappointing rookie campaigns for wide receivers Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas, two of the Redskins three second-round selections last year, there were questions as to whether Washington would pursue a veteran option that could provide production in the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver spot -- or whether...

Position Battle: Backup QB
Why do I have the feeling this battle might inflame more fan passion than any other? Well, perhaps it was because Colt Brennan may have generated more buzz than any player in the NFL who never came close to getting a snap last year. The rookie, inactive as the emergency...

Position Battle: No. 3 Wide Receiver
My initial thought was to stick with the offensive-line analysis today and focus on right guard, where coaches would be pleased if a candidate emerged to push Randy Thomas. But since that candidate doesn't exist, let's look at the slugfest that features Malcolm Kelly, Devin Thomas and James Thrash duking...

Position Battle: Right Tackle
It may seem early to start discussing position battles, but heck, this is the Redskins we're talking about and you guys are always game for a good debate. Let's start with right tackle, where youngster Stephon Heyer and veteran Jon Jansen grappled for the starting spot a year ago. By...

If the Redskins Had to Pick Today...
I'm not really predisposed toward crunching all the possible draft permutations until a few weeks before the big event. It seems counterproductive because there are just too many variables and smokescreens at this point. By mid-April, things always become a little clearer as teams' draft boards come into focus.

Is Drafting a QB at 13 the Way to Go?
One of the NFL's silly seasons is upon us, the time when teams schedule hordes of meetings with college kids, and every workout, pro day and personal meeting become the stuff of rumors and speculation. Of course, that helps keep the NFL a year-round operation, with no real lulls in...
