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

It would only be pulling a Redskins if we signed both for more than market value, Rice continued to have injury problems and Edwards panned out like a Brandon Lloyd... all the talent in the world but never motivated as a skin, released and successful elsewhere. Wait, that's a pulling Vinnie ...

Anyone know who Roy Helu is or what we gave up to get the pick?

I completely agree with you... with one difference. I think this year is our best shot to get a #1 WR. They rarely go to FA and when they do the price tag normally gets really high. This year there will be a couple of them on the market, so I think it will be easier to land one of them. I definitely ...

I like Walter as a good #2 or 3 WR with Armstrong taking the other spot, but Moss is no longer a #1. If we resign Moss, which I wouldn't mind, we still need a #1. That said, three #2/3 caliber WRs is a lot better than we entered last year with when nobody knew how Armstrong would turn out (btw, he ...

Here's my take...

QB1- Rex Grossman
QB2- FA (cheap jouneyman)
QB3- John Beck

RB1- Draft pick (I like the VT backs in the 2nd rd)
RB2- Ryan Torain
RB3- Keiland Williams or some other cheap FA/late pick

FB1- Sellers (Or Lawrence Vickers/ Haufahi Tahi... with no back up on the 52 man ...

There are 8 teams with higher cap numbers than the skins and 24 with numbers over $90 mil, so I think the situation is even better than you think. If the players get their way, the cap will go up, if the owners get their way the cap will go down, but no to the levels you are suggesting. The cap ...

Nothing good ever happens then... when are these young players going to get that???

When they aren't young players but veterans hopefully. Unfortunately, by then there will be more stupid young players.

In the past we have been unable to find WRs in the draft. Malcom Kelly, Devin Thomas, Taylor Jacobs, Micheal Westbrook, Desmond Howard, Rod Gardner... all 1st or 2nd round picks who failed to meet expectations. I share your hope, but lack any optimism in our scouting department's ability to find a ...

Another thought on the mock as a whole... with the labor uncertainty, will there really be that many underclassmen declaring for the draft?

I don't see the skins getting a RB in the 1st round while Shanahan is calling the shots. I could be wrong, but I think the only time he's done that was with Portis in Denver, and at the time the team was stacked. He traded Portis not long after, prioritizing CB over RB. We are not that weak at RB ...

Its complicated and no one knows exactly the formula used... like the BCS. I'm sure someone can look it up (and probably will on this site), but until the NFL comes out with their decisions, I doubt anyone will really figure it out.

That said, its about net gain or net loss in the value of ...

It does sound like they'll go to a four man line in obvious passing situation. So 3-4 on first down to defend the run, then a mix on second depending on distance, then a 4 man line on third down.

It will probably be the opposite. The 4-3 is stronger against the run and the 3-4 is better vs ...

If we could go back, would we have still gotten Jarmon? We got him when we ran a 4-3. How does he fit in a 3-4?

Looks like we just swapped 5th round picks with them based on Schefter's twitter. Can that really be all we gave up?

Here's a thought. Shanny was saying when he 1st got hired that an experienced back needs to work harder to keep his game up. Maybe he's bringing in all these guys so no one can coast and they'll have to all out work each other... or maybe its just a desperate ploy to merely buy a years time to fix ...

Guess Shannahan isn't impressed with this year's RB class... that or he is overly impressed with other positions (OL!!!) and want to save all our picks for them.

Ha ha, Heyer has a chance to be an NFL player "if he works really hard this off season to get to the next level". So basically, if he takes his game to a whole new level, which he'll have to bust his butt to get to, he'll has a chance to make an NFL roster... is this the same guy who started at ...

Wonderful, a punter coming off hip surgery instead of Hunter Smith who had a great season. WHY!!!!!!!!!

(1st off season move I've Really disagreed with this year.)

Sadly, very few non-Redskin fans seem to know who Sammy Baugh is, despite him still holding records he set in the 30's and being in the inaugural Hall of Fame class.

Stl is a small market (for the NFL at least) and Carriker, as a 1st round pick has a somewaht large salary. Maybe the Rams want to get rid of him to save money and are just looking to see what they can get in return. If that's the case, we may very well not need to part with any player but only a ...

Based on recent trades, I'd say we could get a 5th rounder for him and no better if we trade him now... but if we are patient, a camp injury could drive up the price, netting us a 3rd or even a second, much like what Vinnie gave up for Taylor. We could also try and trade him during or after the ...

I don't see a problem with the comments. So he call's Snyder prideful; have any of us ever thought otherwise? He claims he was offended that Snyder thought he could buy a title; haven't most of us on this site complained about the same? He loves to beat the redskins... we love to beat the cowpukes ...

Good move for depth.

Jones is great depth... our problems last year were not primarily of his making... I'm not saying he should be a starter, but he's better than most back up linemen and is way better than Heyer. I agree that patience is needed and we can't remake the line in a single year. If we can simply go from ...

got a link to any details?
