Reebok NFL Washington Redskins 55 Jason Taylor Red

The Washington Redskins have waived veteran wide receiver Joey Galloway, the team confirmed Saturday.The Redskins signed wide receiver Terrence Austin from the practice squad to fill Galloway’s roster spot. Austin was drafted by the Redskins in the seventh round (219th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft. Reebok NFL Washington Redskins Jerseys The 39-year-old Galloway struggled in his only season with the Redskins, tallying 173 yards on just 12 receptions.Galloway has totaled 701 receptions, 10,950 receiving yards and 77 receiving touchdowns over a 16-year career that has included stints with Seattle, Dallas, Tampa Bay, New England and Washington.Though the Vikings don’t seem to have much chance at getting back to the postseason, owner Zygi Wilf hopes a midseason coaching change can at least give his team some stability going into 2011.Facing a Redskins team that could be without as many as six starters this weekend should help too.
Less than one week after the firing of Brad Childress, Minnesota will debut Leslie Frazier as his replacement in this Sunday’s road game against hobbled Washington, which is trying to give its playoff chances another shot in the arm at FedEx Field.It is tough to pinpoint where everything went wrong for the Vikings, who reached the NFC championship game last year before losing to the Saints on an overtime field goal, and its a task that even Wilf couldn’t do when announcing the coaching change on Monday.Needless to say an 0-2 start and losses in five of the Vikings’ first seven games had Childress on the hot seat. Wholesale NFL Jerseys And though he appeared to temporarily save his job with a comeback victory over Arizona on Nov. 7, back-to-back losses to a pair of division rivals in Chicago and Green Bay sealed Childress’ fate.Though Childress went 39-35 with a pair of NFC North titles, rumored dissatisfaction among players with the former head coach as well as the release of wide receiver Randy Moss — against Wilf’s wishes — on Nov. 1 less than one month after he was reacquired only further tilted the downward slide.
Expected to be contenders once again, the 3-7 Vikings are instead in front of only 2-8 Detroit in the NFC North.”There wasn’t one component that factored into this decision,” said Wilf. “We just felt that we made the best decision for the organization moving forward. We have high expectations for this team,Cheap Diesel Men Jeans, and wanted to capitalize on what is left of this season.”In steps Frazier, who has interviewed for numerous head coaching vacancies before finally getting a chance in Minnesota. In his fourth season with the Vikings and 12th overall as an NFL coach, he moves up from his defensive coordinator position to take over for Childress on what at first will be an interim basis.One of Frazier’s first tasks will be getting his team on track on the road. Minnesota has lost all five of its games as the visitor this year and eight in a row in the regular season dating back to last year. The Vikings haven’t won on the road since last November 1 in Green Bay.
Frazier must also figure out how to handle quarterback Brett Favre. Now in his 20th season, the Vikings quarterback has accounted for 22 turnovers this year and was picked off once without a touchdown pass in last weekend’s Cheap Jerseys 31-3 home setback to Green Bay.”It sure was hard for me to walk off the field today after a loss like that,” said Favre. Replica NFL Jerseys Favre is starting to look like a man who will finally embrace retirement this offseason, but is expected to start this weekend as Minnesota hopes to snap a two-game slide and win for just the second time in six games.While the Vikings are in organized chaos, things are starting to right themselves for Donovan McNabb and the 5-5 Redskins. McNabb was benched in the final minutes of a loss to Detroit on Oct. 31 and was then embarrassed by his former Eagles club, 59-28 on Nov. 15 prior to signing a contract extension.However, McNabb threw for 376 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception versus the Titans on Sunday and helped drive Washington in overtime to set up Graham Gano’s game-winning 48-yard kick, his fourth field goal of the game.
