By Brian Tinsman

Sunday’s loss to the Jets showed how physical and competitive this Redskins team is capable of being, and also how far they have to go to close out wins.

With a little under eight minutes left in the game, Graham Gano put the Redskins on top with a 46-yard field goal. This was a great moment for the much-maligned kicker, and put the Redskins in a comfortable situation to end the game. If the Jets march down the field and score on their next possession, there should be time left on the clock. If ... Read More

Jets @ Redskins Tailgating Recipe: Grilled Flank Steak with Cherry-Port Sauce

12.01.2011 / Blog Posts Recipes

This week, our tailgating takes us to New York. You are probably expecting a hot dog recipe here… But, I’d like to take us to the Hudson Valley instead… and to an orchard! New York is home to the tart red cherry, the inspiration of this great grilled steak recipe. We use flank steak because it is super lean and takes marinade better than most other steaks. Be sure to slice the steak against the grain and to a slight angle. Medium-Rare is the best way to prepare a flank, but if necessary, you can go as high as ... Read More
