Welcome to The Hogs Content Hub<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here, we celebrate the heart and soul of one of the NFL\u2019s most legendary offensive lines. The Hogs were more than just a line; they were the backbone of three championship winning offenses. From unforgettable quotes to in-depth articles, and player profiles, this hub is your gateway to reliving the Hogs’ glory days. Dive in and discover the stories, the moments, and the impact that made them a true symbol of greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Than a Line, a Legacy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Few offensive lines have left a mark on NFL history like Washington\u2019s famed Hogs. Known for their power, toughness, and undeniable swagger, this legendary group redefined what it meant to dominate the trenches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs<\/em><\/strong> got their name in the summer of 1982, when Offensive Line coach Joe Bugel<\/a> rallied his burly blockers toward the practice sheds with a simple rallying cry: ‘Okay, you Hogs, let’s get running down there.’<\/em> The nickname took on a life of its own from there \u2014 razorback hog t-shirts were made, and wearing them became a weekly team tradition, enforced by a $5 fine payable to ‘Boss Hog’ Bugel’s Hog Feast fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But how did a nickname born in muck, become synonymous with greatness? The answer lies in the story of men who paved the way for one of football\u2019s most iconic offenses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OG Hogs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Original Hogs were Jacoby<\/a>, George Starke<\/a>, Russ Grimm<\/a>, Mark May<\/a> and Jeff Bostic<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don Warren was not originally a Hog but The Flying Dutchman became one. Fred Dean and Doc Walker were usually on scene as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Riggins campaigned to be a Hog, as did Theismann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo quarterbacks,\u201d said Head Hog Starke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs loved Riggo though and he was admitted as an Honorary Hog. Bugel tossed Riggo a Hog tee one day, and he was in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\"The\n\n\n\n

Read About The Hogs 5 O\u2019Clock Club<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Their bond deepened through the 5 O’Clock Club \u2014 a tradition dating back to Vince Lombardi’s 1969 tenure \u2014 where the group gathered after practice in a bare-bones tool shed at Redskin Park. No plumbing, no electricity \u2014 just a kerosene heater, Riggo’s warm cans of pork and beans, and plenty of cold beers to wash it all down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of problems were solved out there<\/strong>,\u201d Grimm once joked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From training camp jests to Super Bowl glory, The Hogs became a symbol of unity, grit, and victory. Their dominance on the field was matched only by their bond off of it, forever changing the game and cementing their place in Washington\u2019s rich football history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Bowl Bound<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 1982 playoffs were where the Hogs truly announced themselves. Riggins carried the ball a combined 111 times for 491 yards across three postseason games \u2014 bulldozing through Minnesota, Dallas, and finally Miami in Super Bowl XVII \u2014 but it was the Hogs up front who made it all possible. Game after game, they controlled the line of scrimmage and gave Joe Gibbs<\/a> the clock-eating, ball-control offense that ultimately delivered Washington a shot it it all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then against the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII, The Hogs were instrumental in the most famous play in Washington history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

70 Chip<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was fourth and one to go \u2013 on the Miami 43 yard line \u2013 fourth quarter and the game in the balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Goal line, goal line. I-left, tight wing, 70 Chip<\/em> on white.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On the game’s pivotal play, Theismann handed off to Riggins behind a gaping hole opened by Jacoby, Grimm, and H-back Otis Wonsley. The Diesel burst through and never looked back \u2014 shrugging off cornerback Don McNeal in a moment forever etched in Washington football lore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs Offensive Line Evolves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The years between Super Bowls brought change to the Hogs’ roster. Starke retired in 1985 training camp, leaving on his own terms after helping build something historic. As he reflected, the experience of being the best in the world made everything else in his career pale by comparison. Riggins followed at season’s end, later earning his rightful place in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1992. Theismann’s career ended on the gruesome broken leg injury suffered against the Giants in 1985 too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the Hogs adapted. Washington found Raleigh McKenzie in the 11th round of the 1985 draft \u2014 the 290th pick overall \u2014 and he quietly became one of the most versatile linemen in franchise history. By 1987, McKenzie had locked down a starting guard spot alongside Jacoby, Grimm, Bostic, and May, who had stepped into Starke’s role at right tackle. Together, they steamrolled their way to Super Bowl XXII.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Second Lombardi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs made Doug Williams’ MVP outing and Timmy Smith’s record-shattering 204-yard rushing game possible, anchoring an offense that piled up a staggering 602 total yards \u2014 nearly double Denver’s output. A historic second quarter, known simply as ‘The Quarter,’ sealed Washington’s dominance, and the team broke its own Super Bowl rushing record in the process. For the four remaining original Hogs, it was their second championship ring in six seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hogs V 2.0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second generation of Hogs was built through one blockbuster move and one quietly brilliant draft pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blockbuster came on opening day of the 1988 season, when Washington sent backup quarterback Jay Schroeder to the Los Angeles Raiders for Pro Bowl left tackle Jim Lachey \u2014 widely considered one of the best trades in franchise history. Lachey had just come off a Pro Bowl season and quickly established himself as one of the premier left tackles in the game, his arrival even nudging Joe Jacoby \u2014 after 105 starts at left tackle \u2014 to the right side. To his credit, Jacoby made the switch without complaint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The quieter addition came in the 1989 draft, when Washington used the 263rd overall pick on Mark Schlereth, a powerful guard out of the University of Idaho. Few expected a tenth-round pick to amount to much, but Schlereth went on to carve out a 12-season NFL career and win three Super Bowls \u2014 one with Washington and two more with Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, Lachey and Schlereth slotted into a line that already featured Jacoby, Grimm, Bostic, and McKenzie, restoring the Hogs to their status as one of the most dominant offensive lines in football. The one bittersweet note was Mark May, whose significant knee injury in 1989 cost him the entire 1990 season. Washington ultimately left him unprotected, and he left under Plan B free agency in early 1991.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven Sacks In A Season?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Hogs v2.0 may have put together the greatest season any offensive line has ever had. The numbers are staggering: in 1991, Washington’s starting unit allowed just seven sacks on the entire season \u2014 playoffs included. The official team total was nine, but the final two came in garbage time in the last game, with the starters already on the bench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result was a Mark Rypien who looked virtually untouchable, launching deep ball after deep ball from the comfort of one of the most impenetrable pockets in NFL history. They walked to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lombardi Number Three<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The line that took the field for Super Bowl XXVI, left to right, was Lachey, McKenzie, Bostic, Schlereth, and Jacoby \u2014 with Grimm largely sidelined by injury. They had one more championship to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even before kickoff, a broadcaster noted after interviewing Lachey that it was the offensive linemen \u2014 not the defenders \u2014 who seemed locked in and ready. They backed it up, dismantling the Bills and their highly touted defensive line 37-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rypien spent the afternoon in the same luxury the Hogs had always provided \u2014 time, space, and a clean jersey \u2014 finishing with 292 yards, two touchdowns, and the Super Bowl MVP award. Lachey and Schlereth earned their first rings; Bostic, Grimm, and Jacoby their third.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2026 on running the 50-gut NINE STRAIGHT times against the Cowboys<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

After three or four, in the huddle I said to Russ, \u2018Play along with me.\u2019

I got to the line, and I said to Randy White, \u2018Our coaching staff loves you. We\u2019re going to run it over you again.\u2019

Then on the next play Russ told him.

Randy wasn\u2019t very happy, but after three or four times, he didn\u2019t say a word.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Russ Grimm would swallow his dip by halftime and throw up on somebody\u2019s shoes.

Jeff Bostic and Mark May were fighting about who\u2019d missed an assignment.

JJ: He gets halfway across the room and then walks back.

Riggins: \u201cOn second thought, on those gaping holes, don\u2019t make them gaping. Just big enough to get five or six yards. I don\u2019t want to get 10 or 15 yards downfield and make a fool of myself falling down.\u201d
