The world just wants to see the baby; nobody wants to hear about the labor pains.

Vikings rookie Adrian Peterson burst on the NFL scene like a supernova, named NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year after 12 touchdowns and 1,341 rushing yards.

You've got to love the term NFL teams use this time of year to describe their voluntary player workouts.

Two of the Washington Redskins' starting defensive backs skipped the start of the final session of offseason practices yesterday, with veteran cornerback Shawn Springs and second-year safety LaRon Landry the only absences. Coach Jim Zorn said neither player gave the team an explanation for his decision, and he hoped to contact each man shortly.

Springs is working out in Arizona as he did last year, when he was not present for any non-mandatory work (players are not contractually obligated to participate in OTA practices, though their presence is encouraged). Springs has told some people that he does not plan to report to Redskins Park until the start of training camp in July.

What is the Plexiglass Principle? Put simply, it's a very fancy term saying that a team that suffers a significant decline in production in one season is almost certain to bounce back the next season as if the ...

For Jim Zorn, every Redskins practice is another step. He has been measured in how much of the West Coast offense he wants to introduce to players this offseason.

His decline was a surprising development, to be sure. One of the top college quarterbacks last year, Brennan set 31 NCAA records at Hawaii.

“We have most of the team back and a lot of our coaches are back. We have the same rushing offense. There's still a lot of continuity.”

Out in the sunshine they toiled this weekend: five giant men with football jerseys cut too short, revealing bellies that spilled over the waistbands of their short pants. And the fact that they stood together adjusting their helmets and tugging up their shorts with their beefy hands was the most beautiful thing folks around here had seen here in months.

They worked in the back corner of the practice fields at Redskins Park, a spot located next to a sandpit. And they did whatever it is offensive linemen do at minicamp. They squatted. They pushed at each other. They shoved a few giant toys around. The point wasn't so much what they did as it was that they were simply there. Read more
