By Mark F. Gray After what was described as either a “heated” or “animated” conversation with defensive coordinator Jim Haslett last week, DeAngelo Hall put the big play back into the Washington Washington Football Team defense in Chicago. Hall finally took command of the unit he called “his” defense with an NFL record four interceptions […]

By MARK F. GRAY If someone had told Mike Shanahan that his team could go into their bye week at 5-3 when the Washington Washington Football Team opened training camp in July he probably would have shrugged it off as wishful thinking.

By MARK F. GRAY These are not the Indianapolis Colts of 2007, 2008, or 2009 and when you create opportunities you have to cash on them.

While he and the team tried to downplay how significant this game was make no mistake this game was far more important […]

In the end this game should have never come down overtime and certainly should not have ended with a 30 – 27 loss to the Houston Texans. The difference between the Burgundy & Gold at 2-0 instead of 1-1 is they still have not learned to deliver the knockout blow when the opposition is on […]

Arizona Cardinals outspoken defensive tackle Darnell Dockett spent time with The SportsGroove’s host Mark Gray for this edition of In Your Face where he discussed everything from their changes at quarterback, to the loss of wide receiver Anquan Boldin, and how Albert Haynesworth’s behavior has made things difficult for the next generation of defensive linemen […]
