ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -The Washington Redskins will use their fourth punter this season when they play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Hunter Smith's right groin injury is acting up again, so the Redskins plan to sign former Dallas punter Sam Paulescu (poh-LEHS-kyoo) on Thursday. Smith pulled the groin in his kicking leg during the Oct. 4 game vs. Tampa Bay. Kicker Shaun Suisham punted for the rest of that game, then Glenn Pakulak was signed to handle the next two games. Smith aggravated his injury in the Phil |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Greg Blache is fed up with criticism of Dan Snyder. The Washington Redskins defensive coordinator broke his media silence Thursday to launch a vigorous defense of the team owner, saying ``Enough's enough.'' Blache said he was moved to speak after reading comments made by Hall of Fame running back John Riggins. In an interview on Showtime's ``Inside the NFL,'' Riggins said Snyder is a ``bad guy'' and that the owner's ``heart is dark.'' Blache described Snyder as ``one of the most generou |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -Fred Davis had already paid his airfare to get out of town during the Washington Redskins' bye week vacation. He had even secured a ticket to see his college team, Southern Cal, play at Oregon. USC lost that game, by the way, 47-20. ``Good thing I stayed here,'' Davis said, shaking his head. Davis canceled his travel plans after Chris Cooley broke his right ankle in a loss to Philadelphia before the bye. With Cooley out a month, maybe longer, the 2008 second-round draft pick spent some |

WASHINGTON: For a change, the Washington Redskins actually received some positive news during a much-needed bye week that followed a 27-17 home loss to Philadelphia on October 26.

CLINTON, Md. (AP) -Dan Snyder says his Washington Redskins have ``let everyone down.'' In a rare, in-season interview with reporters, Snyder said at a charity event that the team is embarrassed by its 2-5 start and hopes to turn things around soon. Snyder has been the subject of much ire from some fans. Signs critical of the owner have been confiscated at recent home games as part of the team's new crackdown on all signs and banners at the stadium. Snyder was asked about the sign ban but did not address t |

When he left the Chicago game, Stafford was just shy of what would have been his first career 300-yard passing day, and was one week removed from an effective performance in his initial NFL win, against the Washington Redskins. In Sunday's 17-10 loss to St. Louis, Stafford looked like a raw rookie again. The top overall draft pick completed just 14-of-33 passes for 168 yards with an interception, though he did rush for the Lions' lone touchdown, and completed a game-tying |

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -DeAngelo Hall has plenty of positive things to say about his old team, the Atlanta Falcons. His old coach? That's another matter. The Washington Redskins cornerback made it clear Monday that he's still no fan of Bobby Petrino, the coach who quit the Falcons during the 2007 season. Hall and Petrino got in a shouting match on the sideline that year, leading to a $100,000 fine for the player and no doubt hastening the coach's abrupt departure for the University of Arkansas.
