Antwaan Randle El News

We hear that the Cowboys are not concerned about WR Roy Williams expressing his frustration over not catching more passes.

Devin Thomas sometimes refers to himself as the "golden child," but the receiver has been anything but golden since the Washington Redskins chose him in the second round of last year's draft.

Redskins.com breaks down some of the key matchups to keep an eye on during Sunday's Redskins-Falcons game at the Georgia Dome.

The Redskins badly needed their bye week because their season was free-falling. Players spoke highly of the opportunity to evaluate themselves and what the team needs to improve upon going forward.

Fred Davis had already paid his airfare to get out of town during the Washington Redskins bye week vacation.

With his offensive line handling a four-man St. Louis Rams pass rush, Jason Campbell was able to survey the field to see whether any of his five receiving options had worked open.

Emerging from the bye week, the Redskins plan to make some personnel changes before this weekend's game at Atlanta, none bigger than replacing primary punt returner Antwaan Randle El with DeAngelo Hall.

Danny Smith, special teams coordinator, will focus this week on helping Hall prepare to handle the majority of returns against the Falcons, and Santana Moss is expected to continue as a change-of-pace returner, a league source said.

When asked about the move after practice at Redskins Park, Coach Jim Zorn said a final decision has not been made, but acknowledged 'one of the things that's going to happen is we're going to get another guy involved in punt returning and that's going to be DeAngelo.'

The Redskins plan to make a major change on special teams for their upcoming game against the Atlanta Falcons, demoting punt returner Antwaan Randle El and elevating DeAngelo Hall to the primary role, a league source said today.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Antwaan Randle El is stopped by Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Sheldon Brown during the first half.

The Washington Redskins have been talked about on the national stage for the past couple of weeks.

'From the root to the fruit!' says Salih Williams, describing his lifelong devotion to the one of the most wretched teams in professional football today. 'I'm a die-hard Redskins fanatic. . . . But the Redskins is like a girl I know I shouldn't mess with: I keep coming back.'

It's Monday afternoon at Sound Spa Studios in Alexandria, where Williams is sporting an oversize white T-shirt emblazoned with his alias Bootsy Vegas.

As the newest addition to the Donnie Simpson morning show on WPGC 95.5, Bootsy appears every Wednesday to crack jokes and present his weekly anthem dedicated to Washington's once unconditionally loved football franchise.

They are former Washington Redskins with access to microphones, cameras and keyboards, strong in numbers and opinions.

Television cameras showed new play-caller Sherman Lewis scanning his sheet for something that could help to jump-start the Washington Redskins' moribund offense against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Coach Jim Zorn probably could have told Lewis the answers he sought were not on paper.

Although Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, Washington's executive vice president of football operations, were hopeful that Lewis's calls could provide a spark, it again was clear that the Redskins have much bigger issues on offense than who selects the plays as the Philadelphia Eagles raced to a big halftime lead and cruised to a 27-17 victory at FedEx Field.

Head coach Jim Zorn wasn't exactly irate with his close friend Steve Largent after Largent blasted the Washington Redskins' front office on a Seattle radio station Wednesday.

Using his radio show as a platform, the top member of the Washington Redskins ' front office on Friday attempted to end speculation about the job security of coach Jim Zorn by announcing that Zorn will remain with the team for the rest of the season.

If you want to know how dysfunctional the Washington Redskins are, just consider the way some players reacted to the recent news that Sherm Lewis would be calling their offensive plays.

One day this week, shortly before practice, a pair of turkey buzzards perched themselves high on two dying tree limbs overlooking the Redskins practice fields.

From calling Bingo to calling plays, Sherman Lewis is taking over the favorite part of Jim Zorn's job.

The Redskins had moved into Kansas City territory and started the quarter with a three-yard run from Clinton Portis to set up a third and 3 from the 40-yard line, but Jason Campbell's pass intended for tight end Chris Cooley missed its target and the Redskins punted, pinning Kansas City back at its own five-yard line.
