Kevin Barnes News

LANDOVER, Md. Meet Jim Zorn, cool, calm, collected and incredulous. "It's hard to explain how to lose this game when we had so many good things going for us," said Zorn, coach of the Washington Redskins.

The Redskins had outplayed the undefeated New Orleans Saints in the first half of Sunday's game at FedExField.

As New Orleans Saints kicker Garrett Hartley lined up for the winning field-goal attempt to give the visitors a 33-30 overtime victory Sunday, there was a sense it would be a clean swipe, right down the middle.

The Redskins list Richard Bartell, Justin Tryon, DeAngelo Hall, Clinton Portis, Edwin Williams, Alvin Bowen, Paul Fanaika and Renaldo Wynn as in active for today's game against the Saints.

Maryland football Coach Ralph Friedgen and Athletic Director Debbie Yow completed a second round of discussions Monday regarding Friedgen's future with the program. The pair also met Sunday, a day after the Terrapins finished their first 10-loss season in program history.

Though Friedgen has led Maryland to six bowl games in his nine-year tenure, the Terrapins have not finished a season ranked in the top 25 since 2003. Friedgen posted a 31-8 record in his first three seasons at his alma mater. However, Maryland has experienced losing seasons in four of the past six years, during which time the team's record was 35-38.

Redskins head coach Jim Zorn led off his Monday press conference with the depressing news that rookie DE Jeremy Jarmon , who has been getting more playing time lately, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and will miss the rest of the season.

For the second week in a row the Washington Redskins squandered a fourth quarter lead in a game where they outplayed their opponent for much of the game.

The Washington Redskins were well-aware of the Philadelphia Eagles' big-play capability coming into Sunday's game, having seen it firsthand Oct.

Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall sat out Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with a knee sprain.

Twitter is down in the press box here at Lincoln Financial Field, so I'll give you the Redskins' inactives here.

I broke down the remaing schedule and teams with 2 wins to see where we may fall for out pick in April.

H.B. Blades and Byron Westbrook underwent arthroscopic knee surgery last week and they are not expected to be available for this Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Emerging from the bye week, the Redskins plan to make some personnel changes before this weekend's game at Atlanta, none bigger than replacing primary punt returner Antwaan Randle El with DeAngelo Hall.

Danny Smith, special teams coordinator, will focus this week on helping Hall prepare to handle the majority of returns against the Falcons, and Santana Moss is expected to continue as a change-of-pace returner, a league source said.

When asked about the move after practice at Redskins Park, Coach Jim Zorn said a final decision has not been made, but acknowledged 'one of the things that's going to happen is we're going to get another guy involved in punt returning and that's going to be DeAngelo.'

The Washington Redskins have not yet decided what combination of Antwaan Randle El, Santana Moss and DeAngelo Hall they will use to return punts against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
