The Oakland Raiders are expected to release more than a dozen players today including two of their free agent signings DeAngelo Hall and Javon Walker. After hearing the news I had had several fans ask me whether or not the Redskins would be interested in Hall or Walker. In my opinion Hall is out of the question. I believe we have a solid secondary that will only improve with the return of Sean Springs. Walker on the other hand may be an intriguing proposition. With Moss ailing and Kelly on IR, Walker could add the size and depth at the receiver spot that the Redskins so desperately need right now. Walker, who is 6-3 and 215lbs, has only 13 receptions with the Raiders but was the go-to-guy in Denver and Green Bay. And remember, Randy Moss didn’t look so good as a Raider either. Actually, no one looks good as a Raider. So the DC Sports Pulse wants to know, what should The Redskins do:

Well, I was right. I predicted that the Redskins would win 4 games this year. Now maybe I was a tad pessimistic after week 1, and in all fairness, I had the right to be. Regardless, I was right, but humbled to say the least.
So the Skins have to play Dallas then Philly, back to back on the Road? 0-2, possibly 1-1 if they get lucky. Not so fast pessimistic Skins follower, they just went 2-0 in those games. No way, I wouldn’t believe it, but I saw it with my own two eyes.

Two wins on the road against division rivals is enough to give any team a certain swag. The team that was everyone’s pick for cellar dweller in the NFC Beast this season is finally getting the respect it deserves. And why shouldn’t they, they make for a great story. This is a team that tragically lost a star safety to murder and not so tragically a hall of fame coach to retirement all in the same year. A team that replaced Joe Gibbs with a no name quarterback coach that first referred to the Redskins as the maroon and black. A team that after two pre-season collapses and a devastating loss to the Giants on National Television looked on the verge of self destruction. All I can say is, what a difference a month makes. I am believing more and more that “on any given Sunday” in the NFL, good teams can look really bad and bad teams can look really good. But four straight wins is no fluke my friends, and members of the media are starting to take notice.

Dr. Gonzo Reporting,
The ESPN Power Ranking (however much weight you give them), have moved the Redskins up 9 places from 15th to 6th. ESPN included all 4 NFC East teams in the top ten.
They’ve come a long way from the “Maroon and Black.” A long way from having a first year guy who never called plays before. So much progress has happened since halftime of the NY Giants NFL opener: the Skins defense has only allowed 7 pts in the fourth quarter all year, oh yea, and Jason Campbell hasn’t turned the ball over at all. WHAT IS GOING ON?
Have the Redskins finally turned the corner? Have they finally turned their backs on mediocrity? Are they actually living up to the hype?

Dr. Gonzo Reporting,
You heard the chants last week: WE WANT DALLAS, WE WANT DALLAS!!
Tomorrow at 4:15 eastern time we get em’.
The 3-0 Cowboys will attempt to defend their home turf for a final time against NFC EAST enemy the 2-1 Redskins. It sure as hell wont be easy to beat a team with the top offense in the league, but if anyone can do it, it’s the Skins.
Let me remind you that just two seasons ago, Sean Taylor recovered a blocked field goal all the way in to our kickers range, and we stole one.
And who can forget our Monday night triumph, when the number 8 car found a speedy and healthy Santana Moss for two fourth quarter touchdowns. Then to seal the deal, that Taylor guy destroyed a Cowboy receiver at the line to solidify a defensive stop that would lead to a 14-13 Redskins shocker.
Those memories are fresh in the fans minds, memories of never quitting until the last whistle. Not all our memories are great; there was the time Aikman found Ismail for deep balls, deflating the Redskins home crowd. Or the images of that coke head Irving getting away with countless offensive pass interferences.
If nothing else, we know the Skins will get up for this game.
I urge everyone to go online and watch Troy Aikman get obliterated by Lavar and try to find a rare clip of Dan Turk lighting up Deion Sanders on a punt return. Take in all those old memories, because that’s all you can do right now, reflect and hope that Sunday will add to the memories of Cowboy failure.
Nothing would be sweeter than going in to the cesspool they call Cowboy Stadium one more time and ruining their last home game in this rivalry.
I want to see Romo on his ass, TO dropping balls over the middle and Roy Williams getting toasted by Santana Moss.
I know I’m ready, Are you ready coach Z?
You may have like the Cowboys before, you may have said, “hey may be they are Americas team,” but that was before you put on the Burgundy and Gold. Get up to speed quick and get ready for a game that has all the passion of a collegiate rivalry and all the insanity of pro ball.
One more day till Dallas week comes to a climactic head, don’t miss this one.
P.S. If anyone sees Rooster, tell him that he still writes for this blog.

Clinton Portis had some interesting comments in The Washington Post today. In an article published by Barry Svrluga, Clinton said he wished he could switch places with a team that had a better line or a better scheme. He wonders how other running backs would fare if they came to Washington and played in our current system. He also said that he often feels regret for leaving a Denver Broncos team in which he averaged 5.5 yards a carry. What the “F” Clinton. Way to call out the entire offensive line and our new head coach not even 2 weeks into the regular season. How about you shut the hell up and do your job. We don’t pay you millions of dollars to fantasize about playing for The Denver Broncos.

Dr. Gonzo Reporting,
Throw out everything we thought we knew. It was all a lie…..
NFL experts, shut your mouths! Really who can you trust anymore, parody is making so called NFL expert’s picks sound like the ones your girlfriend makes. Things like who has prettier colors seem to hold more weight then what these hacks say. To emphasize the point that no one really knows shit about what teams will be good, I present to you WEEK ONE:

The Washington Redskins made their final roster cuts today in order to get to the mandatory 53 man roster. Some of the more noteworthy cuts:
Marcus Mason-RB
Why you should care: Marcus was our workhorse in the pre-season leading the NFL in rushing with 317 yards. Being a huge Marcus fan this is tough for me to say but this is the correct decision. Simply put, the Redskins don’t need him. Cartwright is our return guy and Betts is a proven backup. Unless you are going to start Mason over Portis (a guy we are paying a lot of loot) you have to let Marcus go. In fact by cutting Marcus (a.k.a the #1 Stunna) the Redskins are doing him a favor. He stands to make more cash money this way with a team that can actually utilize his abilities. Best of luck #23, you will be missed.
