The blossoming 24-year-old safety was a fan favorite and considered to be one of the best safeties in the league before tragically being killed after a botched robbery attempt of his home in Miami, Florida. The team not only were losers of four consecutive contests, but were also in the process of mourning one of the team’s most beloved players in Sean Taylor. Just four weeks prior to that season-ending loss, the team was in complete shambles. While that 2007-08 Redskins team might just be remembered as a fringe playoff team by most, the real story is perhaps far more complex than that. The scoreboard read 35-14, a score that was largely expected by many commentators and analysts, who saw the 10-6 Seahawks, a team with the sixth best scoring defense in the league, as the easy favorite over a Redskins team that just barely squeaked into the Wild Card conversation with a Week 17 win over a Cowboys team that had already punched their ticket to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. You can give Robby a follow on Twitter the clock struck triple zeroes and the sidelines cleared for post-game congratulatories for the favored Seattle Seahawks at their home in Qwest Field, the season ended prematurely like many before it for the Washington Redskins.
Robby had the pleasure of interviewing Todd Collins about his 2007 late-season run as starter with the Redskins. Guys and gals - please give a warm welcome to our guest writer Robby Fletcher.
