Hey everyone. I'm Eric Holmberg and this is my second season as a Washington Redskins Featured Columnist here at the bleacher report. I'll be joining you for tonight's marquee rivalry match-up between the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins. We'll talk about the game, obviously, but this won't be a play-by-play live ...Published on: 9th January, 2010
There is no room left for optimists at Redskins Park. Jim Zorn’s goofy brand of rambling optimism is the opposite of what the 2010 Washington Redskins need to be successful. Going into next season, the Redskins need an objective look at this roster. The first mistake of Mike Shanahan’s tenure would ...Published on: 3rd January, 2010
In between my eyes and the world lies a filter—a kaleidoscope of resplendent gold—through which I saw no rain. I’m not exactly sure who was wearing the golden glasses, me or Daniel Snyder, but being betrayed by the reality of the Washington Redskins is no easy way to wake from ...Published on: 22nd December, 2009
So, as it turns out, the Washington Redskins haven't had a great decade. If you're a Redskins fan, you already know it. If your not a Redskins fan, you may be saying to yourself, what sport do they play again? The Redskins record for the decade (2000-2009) ...Published on: 18th December, 2009
With Vinny Cerrato’s official resignation as Executive Vice President of football operations, Redskins’ fans saw their dream come true. It was an odd feeling to have pride in one of Daniel Synder’s decisions. Under the yoke of a repressive regime, our voices were heard. I imagine this is what the fall ...Published on: 12th December, 2009
In the tragic comedy that was last week’s game vs. the New Orleans Saints, the Washington Redskins offensive line gave a flawless performance. Even though it went mostly unnoticed in the reviews of the reviews, the LaRon Landry outrage, and the Shaun Suisham buzzsaw, the offensive line was the backdrop ...Published on: 9th December, 2009
When the impossible happened on Sunday, the inevitable happened on Tuesday. The Washington Redskins cut kicker Shaun Suisham and replaced him with Graham Gano. It is a move seeded in irrationality, soaked in vengeance, and, almost equally as absurd, the perfect decision. It’s irrational because Suisham is better than the next best option. ...Published on: 5th December, 2009
The Saints offense is good. Which got me thinking about Friday’s World Cup draw and Brazil. Saying the Saints offense is good is like saying Brazilians are good at soccer. When Brazil plays at its best, they transform soccer from sport to art form: The Beautiful Game. (See ...Published on: 2nd December, 2009
It is a sore subject in Washington. Redskins’ fans can get a bit testy (or mercurial, for those of you nearing the end of another fine year with your Word of the Day calendar) about Jason Campbell. They are frustrated because the book on Campbell has been written, the discussion is over, ...Published on: 18th November, 2009
As anyone in the glamorous world of used cars will tell you, age is irrelevant. The trusted used car salesman cares as much about the model year as he does buying a necktie made in the last 25 years or a properly fitting toupee. It’s the odometer that tells ...
