Redskins Have Their 'Hooray,' and Snyder Has a Ball

Some elements of Sunday's postgame celebration were to be expected. Jim Zorn, despite his dramatic homecoming, "kept it medium," according to Santana Moss. The coach also led a for-old-times-sake rendition of "Hip Hip Hooray," which had been absent from the locker room for the past four weeks.

Aggressiveness, Inside Knowledge Help Washington Redskins Shut Down Seahawks on Third Downs

SEATTLE When Jim Zorn met with his defensive coaches early last week to share insights gleaned from his years as the Seattle Seahawks' quarterback coach, he made one suggestion in the game plan above all else. The Redskins had to be aggressive with their blitz packages, particularly on third down.

REDSKINS 20 SEAHAWKS 17

REDSKINS 20 SEAHAWKS 17

Redskins' Shawn Springs Finds He Can Pick Off His Friends

SEATTLE, Nov. 23 -- The play was not one intimately familiar to Shawn Springs from the practice fields across Lake Washington, when Matt Hasselbeck, his old teammate on the Seattle Seahawks, would turn to his left and fire passes his way on misty Northwest afternoons. Those days are half a decade...

Portis Pounds Away at Seahawks' Defense

SEATTLE, Nov. 23 -- When Clinton Portis pulled on his gray, waffle-marked undershirt late Sunday afternoon, it covered the double-ply bandages he wore on both elbows. His jeans obscured the blood that ran down both legs. When he was asked what he tweaked, his reply came quickly: "What didn't I...

A 21-yard pass to Bobby Engram put Seattle at the Washington 10, and Hasselbeck converted on the next play by finding tight end John Carlson in the end zone.

SECOND QUARTER Seahawks 10, Redskins 7

After a Redskins punt, Seattle botched its next series, with two penalties and a timeout in three plays. The penalties continued when Washington received the ball.

Finishing School

As has been typical this season, the Redskins dominated most statistical categories yesterday against the Seahawks but had to eke out a win:

Pupil Zorn Defeats Teacher Holmgren

SEATTLE Jim Zorn's new pupil in the pocket lined up in the shotgun with less than four minutes left. An empty backfield meant no Clinton Portis or Mike Sellers to block for him, so it was pretty much pass or bust for Jason Campbell.

Sally Jenkins: It's a Fine Line Between Blame and Praise

It's generally not a good thing when offensive linemen are noticeable, and the Redskins linemen have gotten a lot of notice in the last two losses. They play an invisible game, a contest in which the action is indistinct, and beating or getting beat is a matter of an inside foot or shoulder.

New Look?

The Redskins' offense was criticized under former coach Joe Gibbs and offensive coordinator Al Saunders. Through 10 games under Coach Jim Zorn, it has produced numbers similar to last season:

Holmgren's Lost, Last Season in Seattle

For more than 16 years he has glared down NFL sidelines, his raging eyes and scowling face responding to every ill-timed pass, fumbled opportunity and sheer imperfection. And yet Mike Holmgren has managed to win. Even the bad years, two blips spread across his nearly two-decade record of playoff and...
