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

During the 11-0 season last year for Auburn

Hmm, I thought we went 13-0 last year

But I do remember going 11-0 in 1993...but Jason Campbell was like 11

From two miles away, Marcus Washington could hear the crowd roar on a college football Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. As he sat on his ...

Friendly, fervent, fantastic.

ASHBURN, Va. — John Dunn was just making conversation.

The Washington Redskins, the team Dunn serves as strength coach, were in the midst of an early offseason workout. Redskins coach Joe Gibbs watched as Dunn walked ...

So what negative thing have you heard about Mike?[quote]

Not a lot of negatives...very talented player, only part that concerned me was the highlighted part---

"Negatives � Despite his size and strength, he does not show aggression when asked to block (will position and get in the way, but ...

Nope, I only single out guys that have the audacity to fight the NFL rule and come out as sophmores. The vast majority of these guys are immature either in their personal lives or in their gameplay. Obviously that varies by individual. Very few NBA players make it straight out of high school. MLB ...

Mike Williams might not be a thug, but it is he a team-player? Leaving USC that early to seek individual gain could cast some doubt in coaches' minds. I think that is the issue here. Only time will tell...

I wrote about Washington in a previous post; he is the real deal, a genuine good guy. I swam for Auburn in the early 90's and I remember when AU recruited him (I'd just started grad school). He played TE in high school and I think he was a ** or a *** recruit depending what publication rated him ...

From grandma's porch to Pro Bowl, Marcus Washington's journey continues

ASHBURN, Va. - As a child growing up in Alabama, Marcus Washington would spend his autumn Saturday afternoons on his grandmother's front porch, about two miles and "pretty much just right across the railroad tracks ...

As an Auburn fan, I was so pumped when we acquired Marcus Washington. As a Redskin fan, I'm twice as happy. Guys like MW will make us Superbowl contenders again...

Marcus Washington could be forgiven for taking it a little easy.

The ...

He seemed real down-to-earth, a nice guy...

Johnson is another Auburn guy so I'll try to add some insight. I remember him well, he was a good TE at Auburn that just came out to the NFL too early. He was a good receiver and I distinctly remember him running over a safety on route to a touchdown in a game against a SEC opponent. I don't know if ...

I'm 100% behind Jason Campbell as a Redskins fan and Auburn alum. I'm 100% against him playing this year because it would be unfair to Patrick Ramsey and unfair to a rookie quarterback who needs at least a year with a clipboard in his hand. Get behind Ramsey because he is the quarterback and he ...

like 5'11" I think. You never know with recruiting sources, they tend to slant the height upward.

Thanks! I swam for Auburn and I'm a swimming coach in VA. I follow AU very closely and will add insight on these guys when I can...

From what I heard, Washington contacted the other AU players as soon as they were drafted, kinda taking them under his wing.

Washington reminds me of another ...

Just a note...

Marcus Washington came out of Auburn High School as a Tight End / Wide Receiver

Most recruiting analysts rated him as a 2/5.

In college he got bigger and stronger, while retaining his speed. Washington emerged as a team leader at Auburn University and had a stellar college ...

I think that the Rosenhaus mentality destroys teams. Players end up focusing on the almighty $ and not what they need to do to improve their play and make their teams better. I wonder what percentage of his clients played at "the U." I agree with other agents that Drew Rosenhaus is a special form of ...

AMEN...

Rigg- Are you sure you were watching the 2004 season and maybe not one of the previous ones? Against the defending National Champion LSU Tigers, Campbell won the game for them. Against Tennessee (both times), it was Campbell's long passes and good reads that beat a very good Vol team. Yes, there was ...

I've watched Auburn closely as an alum and fan, and everything I've observed and read points to Campbell as a superb leader in many areas---
quarterback- making good audibles and big plays.
team player- taking younger players under his wing and encouraging others to work hard and come together ...

Come on now, it's been a while since Auburn's been on probation.

I've talked to folks down there and they deny we still pay our players...

A good, character-based team is an environment where a Dexter Manley and George Stark thrive; e.g., the 80% reign in the 20%. Washington hasn't had that type of situation since Gibbs left.

The ultimate "glamour" pick had to have been Deion Sanders, what a waste! Mike Williams is a risky pick to ...

I sincerely hope Taylor comes around, the guy is unbelievably talented!

Where have glamour picks gotten the Redskins?

I'm not sure about every single one, but it seems that as fans we haven't gotten too much for Daniel Snyder's money. Talented, characterless players see the Redskins as a golden cash cow. For heaven sake, we even hired Stever Spurrier (who I ...

Thanks folks, glad to be here.

Another interesting note...In 2000 when Jason Campbell came out he was ranked 2nd behind Brock Berlin. When he came out of highschool the expectations were very high, as if he was Auburn's next messiah. He had some difficulty and faced alot of adversity up until the ...

I graduated from Auburn and I have followed all 4 players players careers. I think that Gibbs made good picks, as he builds his Redskin TEAM. I'm going to focus on the Redskins, but I'll give you my opinion about all of them.
