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

Agree - I read 5 pages and everything is civil on that board.

I think it,s a good test on where we're at..

Also possible you are thinking of Matt Stevens who played for the Redskins in 1999 and 2000.

Same clothes and same last song before the game...

Monk was great, but no other corner played nearly as long as Darrell.. gotta go with Green!

I turn 40 on Thursday. Wonderful early present!

Totally unexpected.. personally I'd like to see them draft Merriman at 9 even if a bit high, then go corner later...

The rule change took place this offseason.

As you may or may not know, this year wide receivers can wear #'s 10-19 even if there are available numbers in the 80's.

Personally, I think it's kinda cool... there were some great receivers in the 60's/70's with that number (Harold Carmichael/Gene Washington/Don Maynard come to my mind) and I ...

I'm a bit nervous about Jimoh being the #4 CB myself.. but don't forget there may be some more fallout in the next couple of days with potentially picking up other teams' cuts, practice squad signings (Rufus Brown, anyone?), etc...

I'm thinking that the regulars won't be playing Friday, correct?

Losing one starter in preseason isn't that bad. Sad it's a very good all-around lineman, but that's the way the ball bounces...

Better than 8-8 would be great, but I'm expecting about 8-8, given that was Gibbs' record in 1981. Better to be happily surprised than disappointed..

I wouldn't mind seeing the burgundy and gold again myself... reminds me of my early days watching the Redskins (1974 on)...

...and would't mind seeing the R helmets either !:)

I don't think anyone has come back from a ruptured Achilles' in the same season. Anyone who wants to correct me, I'm all ears!

Welcome FavreToWalker...most every Packer fan I have ever met turns out to be really good people and enjoy the site!

83 - 541 points scored, 332 given up, +209
91 - 485 points scored, 224 given up, +261

That's not a small differential. Defense was much better in '91.

Boy, what a waste! This guy has thrown away a lucrative career. Sad, but such is life.

Irvin all the way... Roger and Emmitt are class acts, and I respect them, even though they have beaten us so many times.

I'm thinking somewhere between 8-8 and 10-6. Gibbs was 8-8 the first time as it took a while to pick up the system, and I expect the same thing to continue... on the other hand, I believe we would have been 8-8 with average NFL coaching last year, and Gibbs is WAY better than average!

We won't know until the new TV contracts are negotiated, may never be an issue, may be a big one.. the most important thing is to spend the cap funds WISELY - I live in San Diego and the Chargers spend money, but stupidly... all the better for me, harder for the natives to trash-talk my team.

NC, it is indeed a shame I never saw Brown at his peak. I got the distinct feeling he had been overused, and without seeing them live, I think it's a fair statement that the early to mid '70s Redskins O-lines did not serve him true justice... doesn't change my feeling on that number, but I totally ...

My thoughts on some of the unused numbers:

7 - put it back in circulation - 4 or 5 good years does not a retired number make!
9 - retire it! Sonny was the man
27 - unsure - Brad Edwards already wore this one and he wasn't Ken Houston by any means
28 - retire it - 20 years with one team is more ...

B- or C+ without trade acquisitions, solid B+ with'em.

I'm on the fence regarding this one.

Trung could be an effective change-of-pace back in the right system. Is Gibbs' system the right one for him?

The cap number isn't high, true, but can Sultan do the same kinds of things as Trung at less of a cost? One carry doesn't tell me anything.

I ...

Welcome Darnerian, I like the way you play and wish you great success this year! Keep on scoring those TD's man!

Desnond - ugh - I remember wanting the Redskins to draft Troy Vincent with their pick...
