Redskins Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 10:10:35 PDT

With all 22 starters back from a playoff team, the Redskins wouldn't seem to have much to have had to accomplish this offseason. Except for the fact that first-time coach Jim Zorn didn't replace the retired Joe Gibbs until Feb. 9 and then began installing an entirely new West Coast-style passing attack that's very different from the system run the past two years by dismissed associate head coach Al Saunders.

Greg Blache's promotion from defensive line coach to coordinator, replacing the fired Gregg Williams, meant much less change on that side of the ball. Indeed, Blache's defense will basically be Williams' minus much of its complexity/number of packages.

The Redskins haven't had to adjust too many changes in personnel because they only lost such little-used backups as...

The Washington Redskins have signed fourth-round draft pick cornerback Justin Tryon. Tryon finished with 103 tackles and four interceptions in 26 games at Arizona State.

Bugel still blows with the Redskins, even without Gibbs (AP)

At first glance, Joe Bugel appears stuck in a time warp as he works the offensive linemen through their offseason practice drills. The gruff voice and chiseled face are the same, even as the Washington Redskins have changed around him. Wasn't Bugel the longtime lieutenant of Joe Gibbs? Didn't Gibbs rouse his beloved "Buges" out of retirement with a middle-of-the-night phone call four years ago?

Redskins' Daniels defies age with powerlifting surge (AP)

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 01:13:01 PDT

Age is a touchy subject for Phillip Daniels, a 35-year-old defensive end whose recent history of injuries suggests a body that should be wearing out very soon. This offseason, Daniels took the Father Time burden and lifted it from his shoulders. Literally. The Washington Redskins veteran joined a powerlifting team and has become a sensation.

NFL rookies get taste of history at hall of fame (AP)

For a moment, Miami Dolphins tackle Jake Long looked like any other visitor at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He handed his cell phone to a teammate, stood next to the bronze bust of fellow former Michigan tackle Dan Dierdorf and smiled for a snapshot. Long, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, and the rest of the NFL's rookies are touring the Hall of Fame this summer as part of a program aimed at...
