Looking more and more like Beck will be the starter. A lot can change between now and the start of the season, but Shanahan apparently has a lot of confidence in him. Shanahan supposedly had Beck rated as the best QB coming out that year.

This Beck guy is starting to grow on me

John Beck is already being a leader - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post

“I love football,” Beck said. “I love playing the game. I love standing in there on third down and getting whacked in the chin and completing a pass and quieting the crowd. When you’re playing on the road and it’s third down and they’re screaming, and you can rip a pass in there and get it and shut em all up? I love it.

“We have stuff going on,” Beck told 102.1 The Game in a recent interview. “We have plans in the future for another big giant group, full-team type deal, like we did last time — and hopefully we get some more guys out — but we have things. This is important to us, it’s important to the Redskins, to the players. We’re doing the best we can in this kind of crummy situation. We’re trying to find a way so when the doors are open, we can go out there and be the best football team we can be.”

Is this what it's gonna take to lure fans to NFL games? While it sounds like a good idea in theory, my guess is it will turn out very badly very quickly. Fights and lord knows what else. Good luck with that.
Drop the *bleeping* ticket prices. Washington has historically had one of the best fan bases in the NFL, hell in all of sports. If Danny wants to get more fans, WIN MORE GAMES.

Not really a problem with filling up the stadium, I think its a way to increase $9 beers sales, and keep a family friendly atmosphere at the same time

Next person to trash Haynesworth? His DC - CBSSports.com

The “Albert Haynesworth is a lazy, worthless piece of garbage” stories are not difficult to find on the Eye on Football blog. Whether he’s been charged with sexual abuse, accused of road rage, or suspended for the last four games of the season, it’s actually pretty difficult to find a positive story about Haynesworth.

This post, thanks to Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett, continues that theme.

Today, Haslett told 101 ESPN Radio in St. Louis (via Pro Football Talk) that Haynesworth basically is a worthless piece of garbage (he didn't say it quite that harshly, though).

“He can do almost anything he wants. He doesn’t want to do anything. To me that’s the issue,” Haslett said. “He’s one of those guys you walk in a meeting and you tell him, ‘Put down the phone.’ The next day you have to tell him to put down the phone. The next day, you tell him to put down the phone.

“You tell him, ‘Don’t read the newspaper in meetings.’ The next day you have to tell him the same thing. It doesn’t stick; it’s an everyday thing.”

It is possible to feel some sympathy for Haynesworth, because he was told he wouldn’t have to play a 3-4 defense before the Redskins coaching staff decided to, you know, implement the 3-4 defense.

So, if you want to make the claim that the team went back on its word to Haynesworth, that’s a fair point.

But the lack of professionalism (picking up his phone and reading the newspaper during team meetings? Really?!?!) apparently displayed by Haynesworth continues to astound. And when his defensive coordinator is the one calling him out, that’s pretty darn telling.

Sounds like you guys need to go ahead and just cut him.

Havent seen too much about the Skins this offseason, is their plan to roll with Grossman at QB?

At this point, it appears to be they're confident in John Beck but we'll see if someone like Hasselback's name doesn't get thrown around once (if) free agency starts.

I just can't see Beck being the starter. I'm sure some type of move will be made prior to the season

Brian Orakpo, Ryan Kerrigan a dynamic duo at outside linebacker for Redskins - Washington Times

There was a moment during the Washington Redskins‘ players-only practice Tuesday when the next phase of the team’s defensive master plan started to materialize.

As John Beck dropped back to pass during 11-on-11 drills, Pro Bowl right outside linebacker Brian Orakpo beat his blocker and surged into the backfield. The same thing happened on the other side with rookie outside linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, the Redskins‘ first-round pick in April.

By the time Beck released the ball, Orakpo and Kerrigan were close enough to crunch his bones — if only that were allowed. It was the first glimpse, no matter how many asterisks were attached, of what Washington expects to be a dominant pass-rushing duo for years to come.

“I’m excited to actually have that dominant force on the other side,” Orakpo said. “Whenever he’s able to put everything together, it takes a lot off my shoulders, man. If we have two bulldogs going at it, it’s gonna be hell.”

These guys are going to be a great combo
