The Redskins determined to have solid placekicker

    The Redskins are determined to have a solid placekicker on the roster and will use three training-camp roster spots to make sure they find their man.  Cary Blanchard, Brett Conway and Jeff Hall will compete for the job.
    Blanchard has the most experience and was brought in last season to solidify the position. He was 8-for-10 inside the 40, but 2-for-7 beyond the 40. And his kickoffs aren't as deep as the team would like.
    Conway's future was bright, but he has had a checkered career, which is not unusual for kickers early in their careers. He has the strongest leg but has to show consistency on his field goals and depth on kickoffs. Kickers often knock around the league for a while before finding their confidence and comfort level, and that's what the team hopes is about to happen with Conway.
    Hall, the team's sixth-round draft choice, is young and enthusiastic. But he hasn't attempted a field goal from beyond 50 yards since his freshman year in college. He'll need to be accurate, handle the pressure of pro kicking and send his kickoffs to the goal line to stay in the running for the job.

REDSKINS SIGN FREE AGENTS
The Washington Redskins announce today the signing of free agent kicker Cary Blanchard and tight end Troy Sadowski.  Highlights: Blanchard (6-1, 232) is entering his seventh NFL season from Oklahoma.  He joined the Redskins in 1998 and played in 13 games, while connecting on 11 of 17  field goal attempts and 30 of 31 PATs. Before joining the Redskins, Blanchard spent three seasons with Indianapolis and two seasons with the New York Jets. For his career, Blanchard has made 131 of 160 field goal attempts and 151 of 152 PATs.

Cooke pulls out of Redskins bid; Snyder closing in

 Team president John Kent Cooke unexpectedly withdrew his bid for the Washington Redskins on Thursday, and The Associated Press has learned that the team's trustees are close to a making a deal to sell the team to communications executive Daniel Snyder for $800 million.  Cooke, apparently ending his dream of owning the team his father owned, pulled out with a statement indicative of his ongoing frustration with the trustees overseeing his father's estate.  Jack Kent Cooke died April 6, 1997. Rather than leave the Redskins to his son, he instructed that the Redskins be sold and the process used to establish a scholarship fund.


NFL Wants John Cooke As Owner of Redskins

The National Football League wants John Kent Cooke to own the Washington Redskins, a league official said Sunday. But a representative of the trustees for the estate of the late Redskins owner, Jack Kent Cooke, said yesterday the trustees have a firm deal to sell the team to a group led by Howard Milstein for $800 million and will stand by that agreement.  The dispute puts ownership of the Redskins in limbo at a time when team officials are trying to prepare for the most important months of the league's offseason. Teams may begin signing free agents early in February, and decisions must be made about which players to select in April's collegiate draft.

Redskins get new owners

An investment group headed by New York City banker Howard Milstein and Bethesda businessman Daniel M. Snyder has purchased the Washington Redskins from the estate of Jack Kent Cooke.  Howard Milstein and Daniel M. Snyder have signed an agreement with the estate of the late Jack Kent Cooke to purchase the Redskins and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium for approximately $800 million.

Redskins end season with a split

The Redskins won one and lost one during their last two games of the season.  They defeated Tampa Bay Buccaneers Bay with a score of 20-16 victory over the before a crowd of 66,309 at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.   During the final game of the season they lost to the Dallas Cowboys with a score of  23-7 victory in front of 63,565 at Texas Stadium.  The Redskins had their four-game winning streak snapped and lost for the third time in their past nine contests, ending the season with a record of 6-10.

Redskins pull ahead in a close one...

Redskins win third in a row.  The Washington Redskins took another step Sunday toward escaping the '98 season with some measure of their dignity, holding on to beat the Carolina Panthers.  They scored early and held on late to defeat the Carolina Panthers, 28-25.  During the 1st quarter, a 97 yard kickoff return by Michael Bates was nullified by a holding penalty.  Bates returned Brett Conway's kickoff for an apparent touchdown, but Winslow Oliver was penalized for grabbing Darryl Pounds's jersey around midfield.

Redskins Surge Past Chargers

The Redskins overcame the NFL's No.1-ranked defense to claim a 24-20 victory on Sunday before 65,713 at Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.  With less than three minutes to play and only pride at stake, the Washington Redskins engineered a fourth-quarter comeback against the San Diego Chargers by playing with the passion and resolve that their season's early efforts lacked.


Redskins win one, lose one

Last week the Redskins lost to the Arizona Cardinals with a score of 45-42.  And this week they beat the Oakland Raiders, 29-19 was the final score.  During the Oakland game the Redskins returns were excellent. Punt coverage was superb. Kickoff coverage was outstanding. The Redskins won the field position battle all afternoon because of the returns of Mitchell, the coverage on the punt unit and the kickoffs of Brett Conway. Cary Blanchard was good on both his field goal attempts.

K Brett Conway signed in Aster's roster spot

Washington Redskins tight end Jamie Asher, who is tied for the team lead in receptions, underwent arthroscopic surgery to repair torn cartilage in his right knee Thursday, Nov. 13 and will miss the remainder of the season.  The Redskins placed Asher on injured reserve and signed kicker Brett Conway.

Steelers lose Conway to Redskins

Brett Conway made the decision to join a National Football League team in need of a kicker. But it wasn't the Steelers.  After sitting around the Steelers' locker room yesterday morning and waiting for a second audition in the afternoon, Conway abruptly left Three Rivers Stadium on the advice of his agent and headed for Washington, D.C., where he was expected to join the Redskins' practice squad today.

Steelers to give Conway a try

Steelers kicker, Johnson has a strained calf muscle in his right leg, and the Steelers are concerned enough about it that today they will try out Brett Conway.  This past weekend when the Steelers defeated the Packers, Johnson kicked off for the final time after his second field goal, in the third quarter, he felt something pop in the calf of his kicking leg.  Johnson, 38, said he does not know how his leg will respond as the week goes on. He will rest it, ice it and stimulate it electronically.  If Johnson can't kick field goals and extra points, they must sign someone like Conway.
