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

You can't say that Erasmus James is a bust when we pay him a minimum salary. You CAN say that Taylor is a bust when we pay him a huge salary. If he is ineffective because of his injury then he should sit until he is healthy. I'd rather have Wilson or Jackson in there to find out what they can do ...

Would rather have Clark than AA anyday...

He also calls T.O. a "great" pickup for Dallas, so consider the source.

Still active, just not getting much PT. You see him once in a while in nickel / dime packages. I wondered the same thing a while back given what a great start he had last year before getting injured. I think it's been tough for him to get in there with the emergence of Taylor & Clark.

I used to love when Chris Berman would call him "white shirt Vinny" on ESPN..

Sorry- seem to have touched a nerve. I'll make sure to always agree with you from now on. I'd rather save the arguing for the Giants fans this weekend.

Taylor Jacobs has had sufficient chance to prove himself and he hasn't done so. He's not the #2 receiver we need to compliment Moss. Period. I agree that we're all ecstatic about trouncing the cowboys and are eagerly awaiting the giants, but I don't think it's out of line to be discussing Taylor ...

If you're going to rip somebody, please learn how to spell "prima donna". That is, unless you really meant that Lavar did something before the singer named Madonna. However, I'm not sure what she has to do with football.

I don't like Spurrier any more than the rest of you, but let's also consider the source here. Wilkinson has never lived up to his expectations and is probably very bitter about it.

Thanks. This is a good chart. If we win out, we'll get in.. that's all that matters.

Good point on Sellers. I know he's not the hardest hitter on the team, but for a little guy, Ryan Clark isn't scared to mix it up w/ the big boys. i say carlos rogers may be have the best technique on the team. every tackle he makes seems to be textbook. as far as hardest hitter.. i'd say ST first ...

not adding anything new here, but i agree. bill maas is awful. not since dan dierdorf have i despised a commentator this much.. and unfortunately he's assigned to our games a lot.

i have to agree w/ Canes. Holdman is average at very best. i don't remember seeing him make any tackles the past few weeks. he just doesn't seem to be around the ball. i understand that williams doesn't want to use lavar for some reason and i need to move on, but you can't tell me that he's not ...

Also, just FYI- The place has been out of control lately. One fan told me he felt like he was at RFK!

If you're staying in Times Square, you can hop on the NR line (yellow) and take it to Prince Street. Then walk 2 blocks east and one block south. Or, take a cab. It'll be 10 bucks from Times Square. Just tell the driver you're going to Spring & Lafayette. You'll see the falls there.

amen.. i truly think that laverneus will never be the same after the toe injury.. and moss is a stud. you can tell he loves being in DC.

I hope Brunell breaks his leg on the first play of the Cowboys game. I know it's harsh, but that's how much I dispise the fact that he is our starting QB. I would like to see them bring in Campbell, but I don't care if they bring in the one armed drummer from Def Leopard- as long as Brunell isn't ...

Campbell cannot be worse than Brunell at this very moment. Do you remember last season? He is without a doubt the worst QB in the league. Hands down.. and i can't believe I have to watch him start for us again.

I think he must favor Brunell b/c he likes over the hill quarterbacks who can't move and can't throw the ball further than 5 yards downfield. That's the only thing I can figure.

I cannot believe this.. So much for giving Ramsey an opportunity to lead this team for a season. How can Gibbs stick w/ Brunell as long as he did last year and then pull Ramsey after 3 series (he was cleared to play after halftime)? Even those of you who don't like Ramsey have to admit that Brunell ...

if you're a skins fan in NYC, go to the falls. i was there sunday as well and agree w/ hkhog. packed w/ skins fans, huge TV + sound for skins game. i'll be there every week. also, reasonably priced food / buckets of beer.

The Falls is on Lafayette @ Spring St (SW corner). If you're taking subway, take the 6 to Spring or NR to Prince.

I live very near The Falls and can't tell you how glad I am to hear this. I'll definatley be there for our opener against the Bears if anyone else is down. I've been there to drink a number of times and I recommend it. Never watched a game there, but if they cater to Skins fans, I am all for it.

As a fellow Skins fan in Manhattan, here are my suggestions:
1)stay away from ESPN Zone = too expensive and all tourists
2)Upper West side = Blondie's on 79th / Broadway. Mixed crowd w/ a handful of Skins fans and the best wings in the city
3)Village = Off the Wagon on MacDougal St. Mixed crowd w ...

no one's giving us a pick for someone who hasn't played a game in 2 years. especially when it seems like the league is talent-rich at LB. teams would rather develop their own, than overpay for a high-priced / injured veteran.
