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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

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 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.
