Every game the Redskins win, special teams coach Danny Smith awards a "Hit Stick" to the player who delivered the most crushing shot on special teams coverage. The stick -- which is an actual carved piece of wood that Smith acquired in Jamaica -- then lives with that player until the next time it's given out, sort of like a smaller-scale, woodier Stanley Cup.

Can you guess who got the Hit Stick this week? Hint -- it's the person who said the following: "We have a Hit Stick every week that everyone's trying to get. So guys like H.B. [Blades], me, Mike [Sellers], Chris Wilson, are always trying to make that hit. And this week happened to be my number."

So obviously it's not Blades, Sellers, or Wilson (although you can read an entertaining account of Wilson's time last year with the Hit Stick over at the DC Sports Bog). Here's another hint:



Okay, that was less a "hint" than a "video of the Hit Stick-winning play," but whatever. Lorenzo Alexander is your Hit Stick winner this week for the hit that nearly sparked a riot at Tuesday's charity event.

"Danny's always preaching 'Same foot, same shoulder, more power,'" Sellers said about the play. "Well, in Lamont Jordan's case, that didn't work out too well." (Sellers claims that he "got tired of" winning the Hit Stick and leaves that stuff to guys like Alexander now.)

Rock Cartwright was also a fan of Alexander's hit. "I watched it on film here AND I watched at home," Cartwright said. "That was a MAMMOTH of a hit. It was crazy, because all I heard was a 'BOOM,' like somebody shot a gun or something. Next thing you know I see Devin [Thomas] jumping around, and I see Lamont Jordan on the ground. That was a big time hit."
