The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

What I don't understand is why various media bash the Lloyd and Randle El signings as if we are asking those guys to come in and be #1 and #2. Those guys were not necessarily signed for what they will produce but what for they will allow guys like Moss, ey and Portis to do by virtue of occupying ...

Here's two serious Redskin haters on the subject:

Clark Judge -

The Redskins paid him what? I like this guy, too, but more as a third receiver and a special-teams gamebreaker. So paying him $31 million makes absolutely no sense to me. Of course, I don't understand paying assistant coaches $2 ...

If the ad (not 'add', don't know how they abbreviate the word in Canada) were directed at anyone other than Sally Jenkins, I would agree completely with RIC. She simply has no place writing about the Skins from her lair up in NYC.

I really wish she would just stick to writing about Olympic Ice ...

On that same broadcast not only did Mike Golic pick against the Skins, Mark Schlereth said that the Skins had "no chance" on Saturday. I swear that dude has nothing good to say about the Skins, ever. What does have to be hatin' for? He got a ring and a nice contract as a result of his time with the ...

Ran into Ryp at a charity golf tourney at Renditions this summer. He was great - signed a football for me and was very personable (of course this may have been from all of the Bud Lights he was pounding).

We talked about Joe Gibbs for a while and Ryp said that Coach was absolutely gonna get it ...

Lavar maintained earlier this year when he was not playing that he was 100% healthy and that his injury was not the reason that he wasn't on the field.

Then on 980 this week (in response to Doc's compliments on his performance) he said something to the effect of "I'm glad to finally be 100 ...

Chris ey = Captain Chaos

It is curious that Boswell used records from the 1993 season thru present (a 12 year period). Normally, folks talk interms of rolling ten year periods. These #'s are very skewed by the fact that the Skins were 3-13 in '93 and 4-12 in '94. Those were the first two post-Gibbs years when the cupboard ...

The Skins are not as good as we thought they were after putting up 52 on the Niners and not as bad we think after yesterday.

I really hope they rebound with a solid showing next week. I was almost hoping the Eagles would win yesterday so they wouldn't be desperate on Sunday night.

The NFL is ...

I really don't like power rankings. They are based purely on opinion. That being said, Sagarin uses a quantitative model in his approach, employing any number of statistical measures to come up with his rankings.

His picks this year are 52-47 against the spread. That is a pretty good number ...

That's a good call on only getting jerseys with retired players' #s. I, too, got suckered into a LaVar authentic a couple of years ago. Fortunately, I got it on Ebay so did not pay full price.

I can, however, still sport my #72 Dexter Manley (that I had made on NFL Shop) with pride.

Roy makes an excellent point. Marvin Lewis also runs a very disciplined scheme but managed to get an awful lot of production out of Lavar. It makes me wonder why GW can't do the same.

There has to be more here than meets the eye. Lavar says he's healthy, he's the highest paid Skin, the face of ...

Hold on a second, you panic-stricken Skins fans. Just because Ramsey wants to be traded doesn't mean he will be. My guess is that he plays for the Skins again before the year is out. Either way, I would really like to see things work out for him. He seems like a good guy and I still believe he can ...

I can't believe that Art Monk isn't in the Hall. The guy was the all-time leading receiver when he retired! Is there any other all-time leader at their position that Dr. Z or Peter King wouldn't vote for???

Think about it, all time leaders in rushing, passing, kicking, interceptions, etc... would ...

Do the Skins have any thoughts on looking at Peerless Price at WR? Why not cut Dyson (limited upside) and pick up Price (assuming the $ isn't out of hand)? Justa thought...

There's a saying about prognostications from national publications that has a lot in common with a certain body part.

"Everybody has one and they all stink."

Let's not get too worked up about these predictions. And besides, I'll take the pleasure of an upside surprise over a crushing ...

Dr. Z always picks about 3/4 of the playoffs/division leaders from the year before. Look it up. That guy was relevant about a decade ago.

As for phattymatt, I think what happens when a serious NFL fan moves to a new city is that they pretty much develop a hatred for the home team.

I was raised ...

I liked DM as well and I disappointed that it didn't work out for him here.

What doesn't make sense to me is the contract that he got before last season. I am led to believe that a.) Gibbs just overestimated DM's abilities (based on film study and feedback from the Snyder and Cerrato) before he ...

I agree with you about the Eagles (and Cowboys fans). I always do my part and jackal those guys when they hit Fedex, but unfortunately they usually get the last laugh.

What will make FedEx intimidating as hell will be the pride and rowdiness that comes from supporting a winning team. Boys and ...

Unfortunately, we haven't seen any winning unis around these parts since 1999.

Clark Judge hates the Skins and loves the Ravens.

Remember, he spent a number of years in Baltimore covering the old Colts. His bias is pretty evident.

Compare his preview of the Skins vs. The Ravens. It is a purple and black lovefest all the way, even agreeing with Ray Ray that he will be ...

I really like the burgundy jerseys. Marty did too, thought they were a strong color and we wore them all year when he was here.

I don't really care for the red pants. I prefer the white on white, but Gibbs is such a traditionalist, you know we'll never get to see that again.

What I would love ...

Crazy Horse is getting crushed for pointing out, albeit with a pretty fatalistic slant, that a lot has to go right for the Skins to dramatically improve on offense this year. I agree with that basic premise.

I also agree with the consensus that it is not all about players. The Pats offense is a ...

Fo has some points here. Gibbs's time away from the game and his dubious talent evaluation during the Beathard years would dictate that an experienced, autonomous GM is not such a bad idea.

Don't kid yourself into thinking that Danny isn't involved in the player decisions. Remember, he has ...

Before you bury Buzzerd on his idea of having Mr. Snyder coach the Skins, remember that there is precedent for an owner to be head coach. Both Paul Brown and Papa Bear George Halas built dynasties in Cleveland and Chicago, respectively. Mr. Snyder may be one of the smartest and most dynamic leaders ...
