The worst part of the Redskins getting RG3 is going to be hearing from all their delusional fans again. Gah.

Redskins bring back Tim Hightower
5/14/2012 6:08:52 AM
The Washington Redskins and running back Tim Hightower have agreed to terms on a deal to bring the four-year veteran back for another season according to Mike Jones of the Washington Post.
Hightower announced the news on his twitter account Sunday night, saying “I’m baaaaaaaack,” and a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the agreement between the two sides indeed has been reached.
Since the end of the season, Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan and Hightower have both expressed mutual interest to re-sign the running back, whom Washington acquired via trade last offseason.
Hightower started five games for the Redskins, but suffered a torn ACL against Carolina and was lost for the season. He carried the ball 84 times for 321 yards and a touchdown during that stint.

Hate to hear this. I like the player and had hoped we would give him a look. Versatile, good receiver out of the backfield.
I thought I was getting a steal when I got him in our fantasy league last year. Too bad I didn't take into consideration what an asshole Shannahan is with his back rotation. Then his injury didn't help.
At any rate... wish he had gone somewhere else.

All things considered I'm ok with the video he posted. Not sure why that's the game someone would pick to lol @ the Redskins.

Shanahan jabs back at McNabb
In March, Donovan McNabb took a very public shot at Mike Shanahan, his coach during his failed 13-game tenure with the Redskins. He said that Robert Griffin III would not be be a good fit in Washington’s offense in part because “A lot of time ego gets to involved when it comes to being in Washington.”
When asked about McNabb’s comments, Shanahan said that he would “take the high road” and left it at that. In the month and a half since then, McNabb has proclaimed himself to be “the most unfairly criticized quarterback in NFL history”, proclaimed that he “absolutely” should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and proclaimed that he is “in great shape” in an attempt to get an NFL team, any team, to sign him as their quarterback.
Shanahan, meanwhile, defied McNabb’s advice, drafted Griffin, and made him the Redskins’ starting quarterback. On Wednesday Shanahan appeared with Mike Florio on Pro Football Talk Live. Florio asked him about McNabb’s attempt to land a job with what would be his fourth NFL team in the past four seasons and whether Shanahan would recommend McNabb to another team.
Shanahan had his opening to jab back at McNabb and he took full advantage.
”You know, the thing that I look at as people get older, ‘Do you want to make that commitment?’ You’ve gotta be in the best shape you’ve ever been in,” said Shanahan. “ As you get older, if you want to play at a very high level, you’d better be in the best shape.”
You didn’t have to do too much reading between the lines to figure out that Shanahan thought that McNabb, who was 33 when he came to the Redskins, was not in good shape when he was in Washington. Shanahan said as much at the time, explaining that he benched McNabb late in a close midseason loss in Detroit because the quarterback lacked the “cardiovascular endurance” needed to run the two-minute offense.
Shanahan didn’t stop there. He not only said that McNabb didn’t spend enough time in the weight room, he said that he spend enough time in the film room, either.
”You’d better study, especially when you’re coming in to learn a new system,” he said. “You know, you’ve got to spend a lot of time.”
Although Shanahan told Florio that nobody had called him to talk about McNabb, nobody has to now.

Sounds like Shanahan is trying to blame McNabb for the Redskins failures. Well McNabb was not around last season and this time they finished worse.

Peter King was bagging on there line today, said it looks pretty bad and shannahan must be nervous.
apparently they were going to sign eric winston but because of mara and his super ability to remove cap room from his division rivals they couldnt.
winston hates facing Dallas too so that would have been fun. He told my friend last summer that blocking ware and spencer for 4 quarters is ridiculous.

RG3 isn't impressing anyone. At least not based on what I'm hearing.
Black QB = WKG
