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

Haven't come on the boards in a long long time, but felt compelled because I honestly need to know. Can't blame Shanahan anymore, and the D is just so clearly unprepared every week. The D end crashing down losing containment of the edge, on every play, when you know they have a scrambling QB who can ...

i think the name will probably change at some point, and i do want to be sensitive to those who take it as a racial slur, since to the best of my knowledge the term has been used in that capacity by some. it is hard for me to see how it's meant to be derogatory though; why would you name your team ...

I'm having trouble understanding where the perception of the Browns as having a stout defense is coming from. They are 23rd in yards allowed, giving up only 25 fewer yards per game than our mostly awful defense.

I also have trouble taking their "hot streak" to mean anything, seeing as they beat ...

I agree, skinsfan. I definitely felt he wasn't having a very good day yesterday, for the same reasons, which have definitely popped up from time to time (holding the ball too long instead of making a read and throwing). i do'nt know if it's because our receivers aren't getting open or if he's making ...

If there is a playoff spot on the line in the season finale against Dallas, good chance it will be flexed.

Because i'm curious. I'm not a player; i don't have to concentrate on getting ready for this week's game. Just wondering where things stand for year 2 of the RG3 era.

^DCD "likes" this

How do we stand for next year with the cap? Will we be able to restructure some contracts and make room for new players, or are we going to have to cut a bunch of people to deal with year 2 of Mara's Sabotage?

Do we have Merriweather under contract for next year or was it just a 1 year deal ...

it almost looks like he might be trying to jump over him on purpose to avoid hitting a sliding QB and getting a penalty, and/or getting his own legs cut out from underneath him.

I am an experienced/advanced and skilled guitar player, though I lack the natural ability to move my fingers as quickly as some "shredders" out there. But in years of both receiving and teaching lessons, my understanding is that sound technique is sound technique regardless of the speed, and I am ...

what i don't understand is how nobody seemed to notice the flagrant hold on our DB who was in position to make the tackle on the edge before he raced a million yards downfield. he was being yanked backwards by his jersey with his arms flailing wildly in the air and no one seems to have noticed. he ...

many thanks for listening and the feedback, everyone! it is truly appreciated.

it was definitely a lot of work; this was an entirely home-produced effort so i had to play the role of songwriter, arranger, and performer on every track (except the female background vocals on alleluia, of course ...

Those who've mentioned passing out of that formation, basically making it a super-playfake, are right on. If you run it for some critical down/distance situations in each game and occasionally hit a big passing play out of it, that seems the ideal balance.

Let's not forget, the other option guy ...

Thank you!! Working on album #2 as we speak.

I figured a little bit of shameless self-promotion is overdue, so to anyone who might be curious to check out the album i released last year, i'd appreciate you doing so and passing on the word if you like what you hear!

You can listen to it here: http://www.facebook.com/philosophonic.m ... 4879526524

Thanks!

What i don't understand is why they seem so much worse than last year (weren't great by any means last year but not THIS bad) when it's most of the same guys back there?

i hope you're right, chiefhog. you make some good points there. this just makes me even more infuriated at Mora. it's unbelievable he sabotaged us like this and is just going to get away with it.

When i first heard we'd hired Shanahan i thought, "Perfect! He had a great offense in Denver but got fired because he couldn't get the defense figured out. Now he can come here where there's already a decent defense, fix our offense, and we'll be set!"

When i heard he had gotten rid of the ...

i guess we're just going to be terrible forever no matter what

you don't use a guy like Banks on the outside and have him go out for "jump balls"; you use him in a Welker-like slot role. get it to him on a little zip across the middle and let him juke a LB and turn on the jets.

The new collars are not only awful, but are so incredibly awful that it would be shocking if they even last the entire season. There will be so much griping about them they'll have no choice but to respond and fix the hideousness.
