  1. Chalk Talk: The Outside Zone AKA The Stretch

    Outside Zone (Or, “Stretch”) The reason why the outside zone is popular is dependant on who you ask. The outside zone is a play that compliments the inside zone quite well. When you run inside zone successfully, it tightens defenses and the stretch play is a perfect compliment as it gets you to...

  2. Why Keep Him In?

    Those of you that were in chat with me yesterday know that the moment Griffin started hobbling, I was all aboard the "get Kirk in" bandwagon. We went up 14-0 and were rolling, but Griffin came up limping. The time to pull him would have been right there. At the very least for a series to see if...

  3. Chalk Talk: Dissecting the Duck, Skins Tie Ins (GRANTLAND Article + Discussion)

    Going to try something different here. I'm going to utilize an article from Grantland on the Chip Kelly "Duck" offense, dissect it and apply it to what we currently have going on. The article in Grantland is great, so I highly suggest checking it out here...

  4. OC Contract Expiring, What Next?

    The way I understand it, after this coming season Kyle Shanahan's contract with the Washington Redskins as offensive coordinator is going to expire. Couple that with the news that tshile posted from the Washington Post that Kyle may be in contention for the Eagles job and you have yourself...

  5. Chalk Talk Discussion: The Fragile Ecosystem that is a NFL Franchise

    In life, you can throw teams together to perform minute tasks, such as cleaning up friend's yard, jump starting a vehicle, going door to door to sell cookies. You can even throw together a group of kids to play a game of pickup football in the backyard with relative ease. However, running a...

  6. Chalk Talk Discussion: The Power Lies with the Head Coach...but Should it?

    ***Again, I posted this at the other site as well. But again, I like the conversation that generates in both places. It's so different! PS: I'm going to stop posting this disclaimer soon*** There is a common ground that I'm seeing amongst the Redskins faithful... It's that the head coach...

  7. Chalk Talk Discussion - BPA vs. Need

    ***NOTE I posted this over there, too. But I always enjoy the different style of conversation over here. It's generally more toned down and "intimate" here, versus a town hall kind of feel over there. So I'm posting it here as well. :)*** We have this conversation fairly often around here, but...

  8. Moving Forward, Properly, with the Defense

    Our defense has been horrendously poor thus far, and if things don't shape up it could, unbelievably, get worse. As of right now, halfway through the year we're on pace to allow: 5,028 passing yards (record: 4796 2011 Green Bay Packers) 6,502 total yards (record: 6793 1981 Baltomore Colts) 38...

  9. KDT: 'Skins Sign New Kicker/Specialty Coach

    ASHBURN, Va. - As Kai Forbath, former UCLA kicker, took the field at Redskin Park Thursday there was an eerie feeling that loomed. The fourteenth kicker signed by the club in the last thirteen years was surrounded by the same aura as the rest of the lot. It was a feeling of hope, or perhaps...

  10. Chris Cooley Camp - Thank yous and Notes

  11. Chalk Talk: Bugel Counter Game

    Posted this at the other place, but I feel like you guys will enjoy this one. Forgive me for posting in two places :( Joe Bugel, the head honcho of the Hogs, was part of a brain trust of our three Super Bowl wins. Bugel will tell you himself, however, that the entire offense was installed by...

  12. Turnover Opportunities: QB, Team, Percentages and More

    I went through every team on pro football reference’s database. All 32 teams. I looked at their quarterbacks turnover opportunities and their team total turnover opportunities. For the record, a turnover opportunity is an INT or a fumble (whether it was lost or not is irrelevant, as a fumble...

  13. You can't build a house from the roof up... It starts with the Foundation

    The Redskins, for years, have attempted to build this franchise from the roof down to the basement. We've gone years without a quality quarterback (though, Gibbs at least tried with Campbell, and say what you want, he's one of the better QBs we've had statistically in the last 20 years) and...

  14. Chalk Talk: Playing in the Trenches (Part 1)

    Chalk Talk: Playing in the Trenches (Part 1) The offensive line is the most important part of a football team, but time and time again it’s ignored for the flashier positions on the field. The wide receiver who catches a screen and outruns some defenders to score six, the running back who...

  15. Chris Cooley Camp (by ProCamps) and the NEW Christy Cooley Cheer Camp!

    For the second year in a row, I was hired to coach in the Chris Cooley camp. I'll be making the trip down once again this year. If you have a child that's interested in either camp, get a hold of me via PM. I get a small kickback due to referrals. If you don't want to get a hold of me, sign up...
