Redskins Legacy: Preseason Media Darling 8/22/13 Print Redskins Legacy: Preseason Media Darling Posted 5 hours ago Mike Richman Redskins Historian RedskinsHistorian.com It’s hard to build a legacy on preseason accomplishments. But if anyone has done it in Washington, it’s The Babe. Babe Laufenberg is arguably the most beloved preseason player in Redskins history – and one of the unluckiest, too. He participated in four straight training camps and exhibition seasons (1983-86) but never saw action in a regular-season game. He joined the Redskins during the 1987 season and stayed for two games before being cut, missing out on a Super Bowl share by one game. Laufenberg, a Redskins sixth-round draft choice in 1983, made a habit of thrilling crowds at RFK Stadium in the dog days of summer. He showed an uncanny ability to lead the Redskins to improbable, unexpected, come-from-behind victories. Fans waved “Love the Babe” banners to salute the man nicknamed “Mr. August.” He crafted an impressive list of heroics: He hit on 9 of 17 passes for 86 yards against the Dolphins in 1983. He completed 10 of 17 throws for 154 yards with a 36-yard scoring pass, all in the fourth quarter, to nearly rally the Redskins over the Patriots in 1984. Against New England in 1985, he threw two touchdown passes in the final seven minutes, including a 25-yarder with four seconds left, to lift the Redskins to a 37-36 win. He orchestrated a come-from-behind 27-24 win over the Steelers in 1986, completing 13 of 20 passes with a 30-yard touchdown pass. www.redskins.com/cda-web/article-module.htm?id=122276be-539d-4fbd-81fd-413bb6abb05e&seoTitle=Redskins-Legacy-Preseason-Media-Darling&section=n… 1/3 8/22/13 Print Despite his feats, the 6-2, 200-pounder with California roots, rock star hair length and an unorthodox release was either cut, put on injured reserve or relegated to third string. With general manager Bobby Beathard and coach Joe Gibbs unwilling to give him a shot, he couldn’t beat out quarterbacks Joe Theismann, Jay Schroeder, Doug Williams and Mark Rypien. The 1985 preseason, for instance, was highlighted by battles at two key positions. Aging kicker Mark Moseley withstood a challenge from former United States Football League star Tony Zendejas, while Schroeder got the nod over Laufenberg in the competition for the No. 2 quarterback spot behind Theismann. When Laufenberg was cut before the regular season began, Beathard told the press: “It’s just terrible that a guy like Babe Laufenberg can’t be on this team.” In 1986, the Redskins signed Williams, a former Tampa Bay and USFL star, to back up Schroeder, who had become the starter after Theismann suffered a career- ending injury in 1985. With Rypien, a rookie, also in the mix, Laufenberg’s future in D.C. became tenuous. He was released before the season began. That August, local newspapers sympathized with his plight and acknowledged his talents. Washington Post headlines read, “One Thing About Babe: He can Play,” and “Bye-Bye Babe – The Fates Were Not Kind.” Laufenberg got a chance elsewhere. He played in regular-season games in New Orleans (1986), San Diego (1988) and Dallas (1989 and 1990). His most productive year was with the Chargers in 1988, when he appeared in eight games and completed 69 of 144 passes for 778 yards, with four touchdowns and five interceptions. Laufenberg had a lean NFL career, but he has made his mark in broadcasting. Today, he’s the lead sports anchor and sports director for KTVT television in Dallas and a color analyst on the Cowboys’ radio network. He also hosts a show called “The Score With Babe Laufenberg.” In Washington, he’ll long be remembered as The Babe, the quarterback who lit the preseason skies.

  • The 6Th Annual Fantasy Football League Draft Will Be Held on Saturday, August 12
    TO ALL FFL OWNERS: The 6th annual Fantasy Football League Draft will be held on Saturday, August 12. The NFC will draft at 7:00 and the AFC will draft at 8:30. If you don't know what conference you are in then look at the standings from last year. It will be held at the my house in Loves Park, 650 Sydney Avenue. If you can not attend, please contact me as soon as possible so that other arrangements can be made. We have made a number of rule changes this year so be sure to read through the rules that are contained here. The highlights are a reduction in rosters to 14 players per team, an increase in the entry fee to $25, only 4 teams making the playoffs from each conference, and expansion. We are adding 4 new teams to the league, two in each conference. The expansion teams throw a couple of new wrinkles into the league. First, we will have to realign the divisions in each conference; we are going to 3 divisions of 4 teams each. Also, there will be an additional expansion draft after all teams have protected their players. More later. If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at (319) 425-5421. Aaron FANTASY FOOTBALL LEAGUE TEAMS: Each team consists of 14 players. The players have one of four positions: quarterback, running back, receiver, and kicker. Each team will also have an injured reserve list that they may place a player on if the player is put on the injured reserve list by his NFL team.

  • THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) a SAFETY ANALYSIS
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 26, No. 5 (2004) A SAFETY ANALYSIS By Gary Selby The Safety: One of football’s rarest scoring plays. The Digest of Rules in the NFL’s Record and Fact Book describes a safety as: “Two points are scored for the opposing team when the ball is dead on or behind a team’s own goal line if the impetus came from a player on that team.” Emphasis on impetus. A fairly straightforward definition. Most fans know a safety when they see one, despite there being numerous types. But when they happen, its like an electric shock. The responses range from “What? So what’s the score now?” to “Better get another beer and some pretzels. This thing’s getting complicated.” But I wanted to look a little deeper. How many safeties have there been in the NFL? What are the types? What is their effect on a game? Can it be measured? I had never seen an analysis of the safety, so I decided to do one myself. My interest was sparked while reviewing files for the PFRA’s Linescore Project. In a 1965 Giants-Cardinals game I saw the following entry for an individual score: StL – Team Safety. Team Safety? Huh? Did the entire Cardinals defense tackle Tucker Fredrickson in his end zone? After a trip to the library revealed the answer, I kept thinking about how devastating a safety can be. You give up possession, give your opponent 2 points, and then you have to punt the ball from your own 20, giving your opponent good, if not excellent, field position.

  • 2017 Joe Gibbs
    JOE GIBBS: Team Owner Nearly a quarter century after winning his third Super Bowl as head coach of the NFL’s Washington Redskins, Joe Gibbs still hasn’t stopped adding to his impressive list of championships. Despite retiring as an NFL coach in 2008 after his second stint with the Redskins, the owner of Joe Gibbs Racing (JGR) now has more Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championships than Super Bowl wins as driver Kyle Busch helped Gibbs score his fourth title as an owner in NASCAR’s top series in 2015. As JGR enters its 26th season in 2017, Gibbs has shown no signs of slowing down as his team continues to shine as one of the sport’s premier organizations. Gibbs, who hails from Mocksville, North Carolina, oversees an organization that has produced four NASCAR Cup Series titles – Bobby Labonte in 2000, Tony Stewart in 2002 and 2005, and Kyle Busch in 2015. It also won NASCAR Xfinity Series owner titles in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2013, the Xfinity Series driver titles for Busch in 2009 and Daniel Suarez in 2016, and 267 NASCAR Cup Series and Xfinity Series victories. Gibbs’ four Cup Series championships, five Xfinity Series titles, plus his three Super Bowl victories as coach of the Redskins in 1983, 1988 and 1992 mean he has won an incredible 12 championships in two of the most popular sports in the United States. “The thing that has always amazed me about championship runs in pro sports, at least in the four I’ve been involved with at JGR and the three I had in the NFL with the Redskins, is how difficult they are to win and how different they are, and that one year doesn’t buy you the next,” Gibbs said.

  • DAVE BUTZ CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Excerpts from the Washington Redskins Press Guides
    DAVE BUTZ CAREER HIGHLIGHTS Excerpts From The Washington Redskins Press Guides 1982 Season On the defense that gave up the fewest points (128) in the NFL last season, Dave Butz anchored it. He was unanimous "Why didn't he get picked for the Pro Bowl?" selection, as Dave had his best season as a pro. He led the defensive line with 55 regular season tackles and 19 post-season stops. The veteran, who now has played in 109 of 112 games since coming to the Redskins, also recorded 4-1/2 regular season sacks, forced one fumble, and recovered one fumble. In the playoffs, Dave forced two fumbles, and, of course, recovered David Woodley's Super Bowl fumble after Dexter Manley knocked the ball loose. That particular play brought out the experience of Dave Butz. A younger player might have tried to scoop it up and run and lose the ball, but Dave just made sure he was in bounds and had the ball. A Moseley field goal shortly followed. Dave has now played in 55 straight contests and has led the Redskin defensive line in tackles the last three seasons. He also was given a Timmie Award by the Washington Touchdown Club, his second (he won one in 1979). Games Played: 9 Games Started: 9 1983 Season Some players have seasons to remember; others have specific games to remember. In 1983, Dave Butz had one of each. His season was, in a word, spectacular. In reaching the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career (an overdue honor), Dave made 69 tackles (2nd best among defensive linemen), piled up a team-leading 11-1/2 sacks, forced a team-best five fumbles, and even recovered one.

    NEWS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NRG, Washington Redskins Celebrated FedExField Solar Installation with “NRG Solar Bowl” Quarterback Challenge —Joe Theismann, Mark Rypien Helped “Flip the Switch” on Largest Solar Installation in NFL During Halftime with NRG CEO David Crane— LANDOVER, MD and PRINCETON, NJ; September 18, 2011—NRG (NYSE : NRG) and the Washington Redskins today celebrated FedExField’s energy future with the help of former NFL quarterbacks and Redskins’ fans during the “NRG Solar Bowl” Quarterback Challenge and an official “flipping of the switch” at halftime to inaugurate the new NRG solar power installation at FedExField. The solar power system - with more than 8,000 solar panels - is capable of providing all power to the stadium on non-game days and up to 20% of its needed electricity on game days – the equivalent of providing 300 homes with energy for a year. In addition to being the largest solar installation at an NFL stadium, it is the largest solar installation in the D.C.-metro area. With the help of the football fans gathered at FedExField, NRG CEO David Crane along with Redskins legends Joe Theismann and Mark Rypien “flipped the switch” on the new solar installation from the field during the game’s halftime. Prior to the game between the Redskins and Arizona, Theismann and Rypien teamed up with pro and college greats Joe Montana and Doug Flutie to coach fans in a series of skill drills during the “NRG Solar Bowl” Quarterback Challenge. “Today’s activities were developed to engage fans, call attention to the power of solar energy and demonstrate how renewable energy is a real and tangible option for a more secure energy future, said David Crane.
