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

Well, it looks like Jake is right. I posted on the Washington Post's message board too and someone said that they were picking up Randle El for the press conf today and that the plane in Chi had been mentioned last night. Oh well, I thought I had a scoop on something.

Hey everybody, I just got a call from a friend in Chicago. He said that Redskins One is on the runway at Midway right now. I know Randle El is from Chicago, but I thought he already went home. Does anyone know who else we might be after in Chicago? Jerry Azumah - CB, Hunter Hillenmeyer - LB ...

It's not a bad move by Dallas. They must not have anyone they really wanted this year that they don't think they can get in the 2nd round. Maybe they've got some RBs all listed about the same and think they can get one in round 2. And now they have an extra pick in next year's 1st round. Not bad.

I'd guess that they'll be on the clock at about 1pm if the draft starts precisely at noon. Every year it seems like each team takes the longest amount of time (15 min) just so I sit there and freak out that much longer...

I want them to choose Taylor, but I think it's Winslow. And then trade Gardner for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Tomorrow is going to have some sort of surprise...

And while it's still in its infancy, you can't forget Browns/Ravens. Jeez, it seems like the Browns hate everyone...

The '82 and '87 seasons were strike years.

Hey, if he can hold on to the ball this year I'll gladly change my position. But as of right now, he hasn't shown that he can be counted on to move the chains when the pressure is on. I still think he and McCants are so similar that one of them will end up being traded in the future. Whether or not ...

or just pick the best player in the draft -- Taylor. it's like Portland drafting Sam Bowie over Jordan because they already had Clyde Drexler and needed a center. except our safeties aren't as good Drexler and Taylor would be an immediate starter.

Three, #1, I think, isn't taken. I can see Portis and Taylor fighting over that number, actually.

No can do. I'm pretty sure the NFL won't let anyone wear #1 but a kicker or a QB. The only reason Meshawn gets to wear 19 is because the Jets had used up all of their 80's when they drafted him ...

Say we trade the #5 pick and Samuels to the Raiders. Cleveland supposedly really wants Gallery. Could it be possible that we'd trade the #2 to Cleveland for their 1st (#7), 2nd (#37) and whatever # their 3rd rounder is (and maybe a 3rd round pick next year)?

According to the Raiders Chris ...

Here's a link to the map from 495:

I would print an invitation for each person you take, that way they can't turn you away.

FedEx Field is visible from 495, so you really only need to take 95N for about 3.5 states and it turns into 495N. Exit 15A - 16B will dump you off on Stadium Drive I think. Follow the signs and it'll all work ...

i'm giving the edge to iffy. not really sure why, but maybe it's because he's 2 years younger. if they are aboutt the same now, then maybe by the time iffy is 27 he will have improved. either way we still need sean taylor...

that two tone jersey probably won't happen just because it'll be confusing sometimes.

what if the 'skins played kansas city or someone with similar colors? interceptions everywhere!!!! or "i would've tackled him coach but i thought he was on our team!"

of course i guess you could wear solid ...

NBC 4 and Comcast are the best I see for 'Skins news even though I can't stand George Michael's personality. But I'll take him and his lousy comb-over, or any DC News channel for that matter, over Baltimore stations (not for Redskins news, but for news in general). That's just horrible programming.

Point well taken BTP. I don't know why we all seem to expect not only to make it to the playoffs, but all the way. We were 5-11 lat year. Almost anything would be an improvement. It will take time. You say we need pass rushing DE, safety and TE. We will fill ONE of those holes and that is all. That ...

i've been wondering why they hate us so much too. i went to school in Baltimore before the Browns moved in and nobody really said much pro or con against the 'skins. then all of a sudden they got a team and out came the big guns! it was pretty amazing the hatred that built immediately. i got nothing ...

Just saw this - it's nothing we haven't already seen, but they seem to think we'll stand pat with the #5.

Day 1 Picks: 5th overall (first round).
First Round Priorities:

# Oklahoma DT Tommie Harris
# Miami TE Kellen Winslow

Do you need tickets and if so how do you get them?

could be that too. i hate this time of year for this exact reason. i always get all worked up over nothing or excited over something that never really had a chance to happen.

and i have no idea how i posted the above reply twice -- sorry!

The knock on Dwight Freeney was that he was too small too and look what he's done in Indy. Johnson (6-5, 275) is bigger than Freeney (6-1, 268) so it's possible that size won't affect him too much. If he truly played like a man among boys (I didn't see him play but I'll take your word for it) then ...

as usual, it's all a smoke-screen. too bad we don't know what's behind the smoke! maybe they are trying to move up to #2 only to trade down for more picks while unloading Samuels. maybe they are trying to scare someone into trading up with them. maybe they are going to sit tight but don't want to ...

I'm just getting sick of us feeling sorry that these guys aren't making what they're worth. They are playing a GAME for money. Life must be rough for them.

Man, I can't agree with this at all. These guys are part of an insane money making machine and deserve every cent they get. If someone is ...
