Three and Out: Washington by the Numbers
For all of the criticism that the 2-5 Redskins have taken this season, a look at some statistics might indicate a closer comparison to the Falcons than one would originally think.
First Down
The Redskins rank 28th in scoring at 13.7 points per game, but you’d never guess which team’s quarterback has the higher rating and has [...]

Three and Out: Monday in New Orleans
First Down
Irrespective of what the Falcons did on Sunday, the New Orleans Saints’ performance in their 46-34 victory over the Miami Dolphins is frightening.

Three And Out: Awaiting Today’s Presser
Last season on days after Falcons’ victories, Head Coach Mike Smith would declare “Victory Monday,” so the players would not have to show up to the team’s Flowery Branch practice facility. I have not heard officially yet if today will be a victory Monday, but it’s a pretty good bet. It’s the kind of thing [...]

Three and Out: Can Turner Top ‘08?
As I began researching and writing Friday’s game preview story, the thought started to enter my mind as to what might constitute reasonable expectations, statistically speaking, for what Michael Turner might be able to achieve this season now that we are three games in.
First Down
Turner rushed for 1,699 yards — second best in the NFL [...]
