"The reaction in the stadium is loud, intense and directed right at them. The players don't like it, but they know it's coming when a team is struggling. Going out in public is another matter, especially when players are enduring a season like this one. "Everyone feels like they know what the answer is," running back Clinton Portis said. "'They should bench you. What do you think, they should bench you?' At the time, people have the craziest ideas. They think they're on to something. My reply to them is, 'How would you feel if you weren't producing and you was the guy they was going to fire. Just to get the morale up in the building, we're gonna get you out of here.'" Portis said no fan has ..."

Play-action pass saves Redskins

"The play - a simple, if daring, play-action pass down the sideline to receiver Santana Moss - was something the Washington Redskins had been sitting on for two weeks. Coach Jim Zorn had installed it in practice and was waiting for the right time to use it. When he finally made the call, the Redskins' season was in a tenuous state. Empty orange seats ringed the top rows of FedEx Field on Sunday, the first home game since the Detroit Lions beat the Redskins for their first win in 19 games. When fans streamed out of the Morgan Boulevard Metro stop, a local radio station was waiting with homemade headgear - paper grocery bags, printed with the slogan, "Love the team, hate the owner!" And when ..."

Moss again shifts into overdrive in Detroit

"It was deja vu all over again for Santana Moss at Ford Field on Sunday - except for the result. A year after Moss torched Detroit for nine catches for 140 yards, including a 50-yard touchdown to rally Washington to a 25-17 victory, the team's perennial No. 1 receiver broke out of his early-season slump. However, Moss' 10 catches for 178 yards, including a 57-yard touchdown, weren't enough as the Redskins were stunned 19-14 by the Lions, who had lost 19 games in a row. "I ain't a one-man wrecking show," said Moss, who had just five catches for 41 yards in the first two games. "I've won games before, but we got to win games as a team. "We're in someone else's house, and it wasn't going to be ..."

Attention has Redskins' Moss struggling

"Growing up in a tough section of Miami, Santana Moss learned to expect the worst and hope for the best. So far this season, he certainly is seeing the worst: The Washington Redskins' No. 1 receiver is off to the poorest start of his five seasons with the club. The 5-foot-10 Moss, whose worst season with the Redskins was better than the best year of any of the team's other wideouts in that span, always has been the focus of opposing secondaries. The placement of 6-4 Malcolm Kelly opposite Moss in the spot of 5-10 Antwaan Randle El was supposed to free Moss from constant double coverage. But defenses are waiting for Kelly, who has five catches for 47 yards, to show he requires extra ..."

The Key to Redskins' Success Continues to Rest With Moss

"There are a pair of tubs outside the locker room at Redskins Park, shielded from both the sun and the rain by a tent, and on Thursday morning Santana Moss hobbled up to one of them and slid in, uniform pants, thigh pads and all. The relief washed over his face, because the ice-cold water in what amounts to a kiddy pool hit his hamstring, his 30-year-old hamstring, and the tightness began to go away. Moss sat in the frigid water, staring out past the edge of the tent to the drizzle that came on down as his Washington Redskins teammates made their way off the practice field. On into the locker room went tight end Chris Cooley, the man who caught more balls than any other Redskin last year. ..."
