Chris Samuels, the Washington Redskins’ best offensive linemen and one of the team’s best players over the past decade, is expected to announce his retirement later this week, according to various media reports.
Samuels’ retirement comes as no surprise. He suffered a neck injury early in an Oct. 11 game against Carolina and it was thought [...]

Reports–Samuels to retire
Redskins add three coaches
The Redskins have hired three assistant coaches. They formalized the hiring of Kyle Shanahan (read my CSN profile of him here), confirmed what was reported earlier this week with the naming of Matt LaFluer as quarterbacks coach and pulling one out of the blue by naming Jon Embree as tight ends coach.
We’re still waiting to [...]
Give Clinton a chance
Hours into Mike Shanahan’s tenure as head coach of the Washington Redskins, Clinton Portis was toast. The controversial running back had just finished trashing teammate Jason Campbell’s leadership skills on local radio. During Shanahan’s introductory press conference the new coach, who coached Portis during the running back’s first two years in the NFL in Denver, [...]

Samuels’ decision has salary cap implications
Chris Samuels has every right to take his time before making a final decision to retire due to his neck injury and there’s no reason to doubt that he would like to come back if at all possible.
But all indications are that he is leaning towards hanging up the No. 60 jersey that has been [...]
Portis: Campbell grew into leader
I’m not trying to make the win over the Bucs to be some kind of moment that propels the Washington Redskins into the playoffs. If the Bucs were a good team it might be but they’re not so we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
But I do want to bring up what Clinton Portis [...]
Nothing new from Campbell—consistency the key
So far, so good.
The Washington Redskins’ starting offense has gone from totally unproductive against the Ravens to showing signs of competence vs. the Steelers to resembling an actual NFL offense last night with the Patriots in town. Progress is what you’re looking for and that’s what we’ve seen.
Jason Campbell demonstrated that he can be decisive [...]
