| Gibbs to Offense- "Let's Get Physical":
In times of crisis, with their running game stalled, Coach Joe Gibbs and his old-school staff have often trumpeted a bare-knuckle philosophy. Long nights for the coaches in the film and meeting rooms, and more brute force from the offense during practices and games, are the keys to a more productive rushing attack. Hard work could conquer all. And so it is again this season, with the Washington Redskins' running game in neutral and the offense ranked 28th in the NFL, that Gibbs and his assistants are calling for a return to physical football. The situation is not entirely unlike those Gibbs has faced in each of the three seasons since he ended his retirement. Only now, after the worst loss of his career last Sunday in New England, the situation may be more dire. "It can't get no worse," said Clinton Portis, who has had one 100-yard rushing game in 15 contests dating from last season.

Tailback Clinton Portis is mired in a season-and-a-half-long funk, hardly resembling the explosive threat who produced 1,516 yards in 2005, while his accomplished understudy, Ladell Betts, languishes on the bench. Two of the line's most trusted blockers -- tackle Jon Jansen and guard Randy Thomas-- are injured and the substitutes have not stepped up. |

| More Washington Redskins News: |
| The Redskins had lofty expectations for Daniels last season, partly because he came highly recommended by defensive coordinator/defensive line coach Greg Blache, who was Daniels' defensive coordinator in Chicago.
"You only get one time to make a first impression, and my first impression [in Washington] wasn't very good," he said. "But injuries prevented me from letting me show what I can do. Next season is going to be a good one. For all the people who have counted me out, I'll just prove them wrong." Blache and the Redskins may be interested in adding more bodies to the defensive line rotation this offseason--the team had five-year veteran defensive end Courtney Brown in for a visit at Redskins Park last week--but coaches know what Daniels can do and have factored his abilities into the equation. "You're going to hear people say that we don't have a pass rusher or defensive end," Daniels said. "They've got every right to say that until I get out there and show them and prove to them that we don't need anybody else." Washington Redskins tickets. Washington, led by head coach Steve Spurrier, is 1-0 against the AFC so far this year following their 16-13 season-opening victory over the New York Jets; Washington Redskins tickets. The Redskins (2-1) play their second AFC opponent Sunday at FedExField when they host the New England Patriots last year, the Redskins were 3-1 against the AFC. The Patriots, led by head coach Bill Belichick, are coming off a 23-16 victory over the Jets last Sunday at Gillette Stadium. New England dominated most of the second half of the game, sparked by Tom Brady�s 1-yard quarterback sneak for a touchdown and a 55-yard TD interception return by rookie cornerback Asante Samuel.
