Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Washington Redskins NFL Match Preview 2011

With his team still in the playoff hunt, Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris was all smiles when he addressed the media earlier this week. Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan may simply be happy about to be rid of a distraction.Trying to avoid a third consecutive loss and keep pace in the NFC South, Tampa Bay looks to win its eighth straight versus a team below .500 on Sunday at FedEx Field, where the Redskins will play their first game since suspending All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth for the rest of the season.

The Redskins looked like geniuses when they were 4-3. By bringing in Donovan McNabb and Mike Shanahan, they had already matched their win total from 2009. While they have still improved on the four wins they posted last season, the Redskins are only 5-7. They are unlikely to be favored in any of their games for the remainder of the season and the season as a whole has been a disappointment. A win over Tampa Bay would be a step in the right direction.


Washington (5-7) will try to do that without Haynesworth, whom the team suspended without pay for the rest of the season Tuesday for "conduct detrimental to the club."

The two-time All-Pro, who signed a $100 million contract following the 2008 season, has been a major distraction since Shanahan took over in January. He skipped offseason workouts, boycotted a mandatory minicamp, struggled to pass a conditioning drill at training camp and constantly voiced his displeasure with the team's defensive scheme.
