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

Same of results, different leaders.........Franchise Curse! When Dan Snyder bought this team professing his longtime love for this team, he never embraced many of those who put trophies in the cases.

Although opinated, most of those who were responsible for those trophies were not embraced at ...

There are a number of posters here that have not changed their opinion of where we are as a team and what should be happening here in order for this franchise to be performing at a consistently good level

We are looking at 8-8 and always were - we are hoping we can bring in a QB that will help the ...

I'm glad that Beck is the QB but we are not a much better team with Beck

- WHY would you plan for and have Rex pass the ball so much - NOTHING good happens when Rex tries to throw the ball - EVERYBODY knows this
- WHY would you game plan (OR play call) a pass on obvious passing downs
- we MUST ...

Of, one more thing. Shanahan's assessment of Beck in the presser and why he decided to go with him. Was it another lie like last year with Donovan or was it something else?

Shanahan said that Beck had several great practices and that's part of the reason why he went with him. If Rex is the ...

This should not have been an issue if this team was truly going "young" and this was a rebuilding year. Beck should have started from day one. What's that worst that would have happened from a guy that nobody has film on?

So what the last preseason game wasn't his best performance but it was ...

Well folks!!!! You knew this day would come and it did. If this is the start of the down spiral of this team this season, you have to look back when the decision was made to go with Rex over Beck.

Beck positioned himself as a leader starting with the off-season workouts that he took contol over ...

the same criticism given to Jason about fumbling and holding the ball given to Rex too? Just curious because Rex lost two balls last night with one being the game clincher for Dallas.

Everyone talks about how much of veteran Rex is but yet he lacks the pocket presence/feel for when defenders are ...

What went wrong in that game last night was the play calling on both sides of the ball. Everyone knows going in against Dallas that Ware and Spencer are going to be moving around and they are going to bring the pressure. Lil' Shanny may have helped Rex and the Oline out by calling a few more screens ...

At this point, the best thing to do is really trim the "fat" from this roster and start a youth movement that will pay off in year 2 or 3. Other teams are doing it and are on the cusp. Detroit is one of them. You can see it despite them still losing games but they are competitive to the end. It's ...

Hogster makes a good point. But even "hard-a$$e$" have to tone it down a bit because after a while it becomes "noise." Coughlin is a perfect example. It seems that just when the Giants look like they are about to fall apart, they re-invent themselves and go on a run.

I hear the other points ...

The blunder that was this past week and some change is so obvious that people should take it for what it is. Shanahan and his son messed up bad!!!

It's so bad that people have thrown out the nepotism thing. Really?? This how bad Shanahan has made it.

Then all of the decisions ...

I think that there are several things that people are forgetting about the Shanahan-Elway era. Shanahan inherited an already great QB.

Dan Reeves coached Elway from 83 to 92'. Then Wade Phillips had him for two seasons until Shanahan arrived in 94. So Dan was really responsible for Elway, Shanny ...

@Ray,

Again, I agree with you 100%. But one of the things that alot of people miss are the details. You covered those details in speaking about the psychology of the modern athlete. One of the things that is so interesting to me is that not only does this coach have an ego but how out of touch he ...

EGO....EGO......EGO....

Moss is out there and you bring in Russell????

What has changed here from the last two years???? Now Danny is stuck. He has to stay the course with Shanny because it wouldn't show stability that we have all been craving....

This is one case where "owner meddling" would have come in handy.

Were I the owner, I would have had Mikey in my office this morning at O'dark thirty, and said ... look, Mike ... you made a terrible call yesterday, and if you don't already know that, then you and perhaps your son are the only two ...

The last time I checked offensive coordinators make adjustments to what the defense is doing just defensive coordinators make adjustments to what the offense is doing.

To me, both sides of the ball coordinators are suspect. Riddle me this: why would take a top 10 defense in the 4-3 scheme over ...

@Ray (what's up Buddy!!!!), we disagreed last year on Campbell but I think we are in agreeance on this. Yes, I saw the progression visual put up on the screen and it's flip-flopped here. So combine that with a make shift OL, and you got what you got yesterday and in weeks past.

But here, IMO ...

Before we start annointing Torrain anything, let's see if he can be consistent. Let the bulldozing TD run emotions go and come back down now. I think that we all can agree that consistency is key at the RB position here.

CP is a warrior but right now, the only thing you are getting consistent ...

The "secrecy" at the Park has gotten worse now that Shanny is here. If you think things were bad with the old regime, Shanny is going to take it to another level with his level of secrecy.

He's not really saying. McCardle is not saying anything. And DT is just saying he's not sure and that he's ...

what do you do if by game 5, we still have no running game???

Do you make personnel changes? i.e. shuffle back field or OL

Or

Do you have Kyle get creative with the running plays to get space for the RBs???

I'd take yesterdays loss over a 9-7 win over Saint Louis.

Yesterdays game was awesome, it was entertaining. It was a JOY to watch the Skins be REAL NFL TEAM FOR ONCE.

Now before some of u lose ur minds, we're only 2 games into this era. Don't get all negative.

Agreed. There are still areas ...

Leave the rule alone and execute better in areas of the game that we CAN control.

I hear you bro.... )

Frank and SJ,

Thanks for your opinions. You both are on point. I wanted to put it out there and get a feel for it.

To add to your points: we should have never been in that situation to begin with, up 17. We stick the dagger in them and it's a mute point!!!

But I will say this, it was ...

I like the spunk and the attitude.

But one has to wonder though??? What if #21 were here????

Don't beat me up Hogsters but I have a proposal for amendment on the timeout situation for field goals. Here goes:

- The defensive team can only call a timeout between the time the ball is spotted and when the center first touches the ball for the snap**;

- Only the offense can call timeout ...
