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

Can somebody who is an ESPN Insider go to the rumer mill section and tell us what is going on. Apparently ESPN is saying that Chicago is refusing to deal Briggs to us, as for now.

The Freeney and London Fletcher-Baker discussion needs to stop. These signings are the kinds that got the Skins in trouble in the first place. Baker is going to be 32 YEARS OLD next season, and Freeney will cost way more than we can afford. We can only afford one splash signing, and it has to go to ...

I think he's right...or at least I hope he is. I think we draft a DLineman, sign a MLB and DB, and maybe get a little depth on the OLine. No need for anything else. Let's give continuity a try and see how it works.

Wow, I guess this shows that despite how bad ST looked on TV this year, he must have been doing things right to get this kind of recognition. I thought this was his worst year as a pro, but it was apparently much better than it looked.

Please say that was sarcastic.

First, Johnson probably won't be on the board by the time we get to him.

Second, we have three receivers that can play..

Third, and most important, we have NO pass rush from our ends, a beat-up and underachieving secondary, and needed improvement in our MLB ...

Golston is the reason I think we should go after a good pass rushing D-End, like Gaines Adams. Branch would be an upgrade and is a good 40 pounds heavier than Golston, but I really have more confidence in Golston to turn into a great player than I do in our ends to get to the QB.

Is it just me, or should we move Sean Taylor to Strong Safety , where he can worry about smashing skulls first and covering the pass second. Then we can get a true FS (there will be plenty in the draft I think) to do what FS are supposed to do, and PREVENT THE DEEP PASS.

Also, I agree, Marshall ...

ESPN's Power Rankings says that word on the street is that we are going hard after CB Nate Clemens in the offseason. Has anyone actually heard this, or is this just more ESPN rumormill bullcrap?

Old-Timer, I completely agree with you, but you missed my point. Brunnell is playing poorly, but it isn't his decision to be in the game. And those reporters have no right to humiliate him on television for a decision that isn't his. Three weeks ago we were singing his praises as he completed his ...

Mark Brunnell might not be playing well, but do you honestly think he's doing it on purpose? Does he deserve to be humiliated on television? It's Gibbs choice to keep Brunnell in the game .

Mark Brunnell is a GOOD MAN and a CLASS ACT in a a league where most people aren't . He's put up with more ...

I'm guessin we're going to cut David Patten and Taylor Jacobs, or one of them and Jimmy Farris. Does anyone know how much cap room they take up?

With Lavar out of the picture, could we use our 2nd rounder to scoop up Manny Lawson? He played DE at NC State, but he ran a rediculous 4.43 at the combine and is probably going to play outside LB. Do we get a hybrid guy like this, have him play WLB and rush off the end on 3rd down situations? I ...

NO WAY. He didn't reject an offer, he refused to renegotiate his contract, which was due him 7 MILLION this season. We can't afford him, and he's not worth the money he wants. Oh, and another thing....he's like 32 or something.

I promise, this was on ESPN's page today. Fat Lenny in all his infinite wisdom.....

Redskins looking to deal QB RamseyBy Len Pasquarelli

In one of the NFL's worst-kept secrets, Washington Redskins coach Joe Gibbs has acknowledged that the team is ...

Are you serious?!?! If we get him our off-season should be pretty much done. Focus on WR in the draft and pick up a nickel back and a utility OLineman, and its Super Bowl here we come.

Hey Redskinz4ever, you don't know where I can get a poster of your picture, do you? I've been looking for one of those forever.

I'd be willing to pick up anyone who will sign a no-false-start clause into their contract.

Notice one thing - Most of this guy's biggest statistical days are in big games. 142 yds, 2 tds versus West Virginia, 101 yds v. Nebraska, 130 yds v. Rutgers, 95 @ Louisville.

Bring me a big game playmaker any day, no more of the Taylor Jacobs or D Pattens who disappear in big games. Snatch this ...

If this deal goes through, I'm guessing we're going after Tapp in the draft. I really hope something falls through here.....

Former castoff registers two sacks for AFC squadBy Len Pasquarelli

HONOLULU -- The Pro Bowl is supposed to be about a job well done, not a job audition, Kyle Vanden Bosch conceded Sunday evening.


For the Tennessee Titans defensive end, however ...

Absolutely NOT

Clement will cost way too much money, and is a starting corner. We have one bonified starter who is better than Clement (Springs) and have invested a first round pick in our other starter (Rogers). All we need is a solid nickel back so we can push Harris back to dime coverages. We ...

Who do you think are the top-10 free agents that we SHOULD go after? Keep in mind the SALARY CAP; in other words you can't sign Edgerrin James, Shawn Alexander, and Charles Woodson. Let's all play GM for a while, here's mine:

1.) David Givens - WR New England - Not the most explosive receiver ...

HOG HEAVEN - Sorry, I meant to say that I read that the Skins are interested in going after Jets DE John Abraham. Sorry about the confusion.

No way we're going to get a shot at Dumervil, if he drops past 40 I'll be shocked. Most people have Tapp falling to us, so I think we'll get a shot at him. Most compare him to a Dwight Freeney, with a short stature but a quickness and motor that doesn't stop. There are questions about if he'll be ...

One, there's no way theyre going to give Boldin up. He made bigger plays at WR last season than many other guys. He's a physical specimen, like a TO without the immaturity.

Second, WHY WOULD WE GIVE UP BETTS? Unless there's another move we would make to get a very reliable back up to Portis, I ...
