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

Kind of a silly video one of my buddies at work put together: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0OBBP6lhJg.

From Pro Football Weekly:
"There is a growing sense of respect for new head coach Jim Zorn around Redskins Park — from top to bottom — we hear. The players reportedly love his coaching style and organization, and he has made a lot of people move on very quickly from Joe Gibbs — perhaps faster than ...

Hi guys-
Some of you who know me know that I work for a fantasy sports company called RotoHog.com. Our main game is a really addictive stock exchange game where you draft a team of players whose prices rise and fall in real time based on supply and demand. So if Romo breaks his arm, you can drop ...

This is true, but it's a tough way to start a career. Hope he gets well VERY soon!

Personally, I have no idea why the Skins wanted to keep him, if they weren't keeping Al. I think it was an awful keep. Todd played very well for the Skins when called upon, but it was something he'd been doing for 10 years or so....

Why not just get a backup with some sort of knowledge of the ...

After reading this thread carefully, count me in the camp with those who are happy with this deal. JT is going to be a great addition to the D and I think a few weeks into the season those who are concerned will look back and be pretty happy with this move.
Here's wishing Daniels a swift and ...

Am I the only one who just wishes Brett Favre would go away?

I think it's a bit too late now, although I love the idea. I hope they feature the Redskins on Hard Knocks at some point because it's a great program and really gives you some in depth insight into what it takes to make an NFL football team. Normally it's something I look forward to every preseason ...

This thread is a little depressing...

Looking forward to that!

It's sad to hear the feelings on the board about FedEx. I never got a chance to see the Skins at RFK, but I've been to games at FedEx the past few years. I've had great times, but it definitely didn't blow me away like some college stadiums have. I will say that one thing always takes the atmosphere ...

JansenFan wrote:Th '91 Hogs gave up 9 sacks all season. Hard to argue against that number.

That is AWESOME.

I wouldn't worry about negative responses. Unless I'm wrong, I think scenarios like Moss for Bolden are exactly what this forum is for. In my opinion, I doubt the Cardinals would do something like that, and it is probably a wash from the Skins' perspective. Personally, I like receivers in the Bolden ...

"Crap, bro. We're screwed. Our linemen suck. They couldn't block a third grader from getting to the lunch line. errr.....I mean......Things are looking great. Did I mention I am on pain meds?"

Haha!

It's true, though. Coaches are well trained to say the right thing. That said, I hope Joe is ...

Past: Monk/Green

Current: ey

One interesting thing - I work with a guy who used to do content for ESPN and part of what they do on pieces like that is intentionally include weird information or stupid rankings just to get people talking. It stimulates user-generated content for their message boards, social networking features ...

Why would anyone thing we would be 5 games worse than last yr?

5 was the magic number between 2005 (10-6) and 2006 (5-11) as well. As a fan, I think (hope) we'll be much better than 4-12, but this team just has so many questions, it's hard to predict what the final record will be. The questions ...

I'm sure there's no chance this is an excused absence ... ... didn't we go through this same crap with JLC last year where, like the bratty little tattletale, he tried to point fingers and it turned out to be legit absences?

Hope you're right. These things always make me nervous, no matter who ...

He may never play a down in the NFL, but he may also be the best QB in the 2008 draft... actually it's very possible they got the two best WRs, the best Tight End, the best QB, and the best Punter in this draft...

I like the optomism, but I'm just not sold on Brennan. We may never find out, I ...

Hahaha!

That would be great, but I like the positive energy in this thread. We're undefeated until we're not!

I know many of you tech savy folks have done this. My blackberry was due for an upgrade so my office gave me the Pearl which you can put music on. Five hours later I was able to figure out how to put Hail To The Redskins as my ringtone - the whole song, not just the music. Now when I am in a ...

He was talented at Auburn and I never understood how we got him in later rounds. I think he was a 4th rounder? Second tops.
Davis was a undrafted free agent and last played with the Rams. He chose the Panthers as the team he wanted to retire as a player of.
Davis is second only to CP's 2005 ...

I think the most successful coaches (and CEOs for that matter) are the ones that set up a good system and let it work. The jury is still out on whether or not JZ is doing this, but he's done nothing to date that gives fans any reason to worry, IMO.

I mentioned this in the draft thread, but it warrants repeating. When BFD got to USC he was recruited as a wide receiver. Once he got into the strength and conditioning program he started ballooning up, and coaches asked him to play TE. He reluctantly agreed, realizing that it was his best chance to ...
