On the whole, but not under Snyder, who bought the team in May 1999.

Turner 17-12 regular season, 1-1 playoffs
Gibbs 30-34 regular season, 1-2 playoffs

Bring back Phyllis Hayes! She is the Antonio Pierce of secretaries.

It's worth noting that Hilliard served on Jim Haslett's 2009 Florida Tuskers (UFL) staff. He was also a player for the Buccaneers when Bruce Allen was GM.

Jeff Garcia disapproves. Even with the UFL's stupid blitz rules, the Nighthawk offensive line was sive.

I think Cutler's better, but not by a whole lot. Is he really worth the trouble and the price? If the team really wanted to dump Campbell, why not go after, or at least entertain, Caseell?

Boston's last shot was actually a pass that Morrison would have interrupted and might have had a chance to clear, but the funny bounce resulted in a score.

Yeah, but it's not exactly like Boston got lucky. The only reason the game was still going was because of the incredible save Theodore made ...

I'm not a hockey expert, so could someone explain the rationale for the penalty-killing strategy we were running last night?

Whenever the Capitals were on the power play, the Bruins were aggressive, forcing Washington to move the puck. When the Capitals were on the penalty kill, especially in ...

The Redskins has had a tad more than three. I've detailed the helmet history in a blog entry:

http://www.the-hogs.net/blogs/2009/01/21 ... tradition/

the only team i can think of that has never changed their uniform is Penn State.... not once

That's Penn State wearing royal blue instead of navy, and if you look closely, numbers on their helmets. I wonder ...

The unifiorms are great now! We have to understand that there is a thing called tradition! The Redskins are one of the elite franchises in NFL history. The Bears haven't changed, Raiders, Steelers, Cowboys, Giants, Packers, Colts, Jets, Dolphins, Vikings, Chiefs, 49ers, Browns, etc., all have been ...

A few years ago, I think it was the 70th anniversary season, they wore throwback unis with gold pants. But the pants weren't really throwbacks, they were made of a material that had a metallic sheen, like the silver pants the Pies wear.

The Redskins always maintained that those were "composite ...

Thanks guys. Now if I could just learn how to spell "Theismann", I'd be in good shape...

I'm just telling you what Casserly said. You don't want to believe it, that's fine; Casserly is far from a prophet. Charlie Brown left the team following the 1984 season, and the Redskins were lacking a bit of explosiveness on the offensive side of the ball in 1985.

The talk of using Green on ...

Think about it... You're Joe Gibbs (despite the myths, Gibbs was not above occasional trickery). You have the fastest man in the NFL on your team. He has moves that are unsurpassed in the league. You are loaded with skilled wide-outs, so it's impossible to double anybody on a consistent basis ...

It's, indeed, unfortunate that you completely missed the fine point that Welch was making... which is that the great DG did not have the greatest of hands, either.

Actually, he had a much better point than that. But as for your point, saying that "good hands is not a requirement for being a good ...

I said that Rogers was the better bet to stay healthy, I'm just pointing out that it's not a lock.

A small voice with a humble opinion:

- Darrell Green was the best CB the Redskins have ever had or seen

- Green used to joke about his inability to hold onto the ball

- All Green did was break up passes. That was enough.

- Rogers can drop INTs as long as he keeps stopping the passes.

- He ...

This isn't just the front office being morons. Greg Blatche demoted Rogers. You think Blatche did that for any reason other than Springs is a much, much better player than Rogers?

Yes, Rogers is younger than Springs. But he's been in the league for four years now. There isn't going to be quantum ...

I've got an awesome idea. Instead of a Pro Bowl, have the NCAA college champions play the worst team in the NFL the week before the Super Bowl. If NCAA Champion wins, any player on that team is exempt from the NFL draft and is granted free agency. Additionally, the NFL team loses their spot in the ...

...but Vinny should also get some credit for the picks made from 1991-1994 since he was the head of college scouting for an NFL Dynasty.

Sure, he gets credit. The work he did from 1991-1994 (which was fifteen years ago , by the way) earned him a promotion. The work he did in the four years ...

San Fransisco went 11-5, 12-4, 13-3, and 12-4 with Vinny as DPP.

And then he was fired.

Yes, the 49ers were good. But the 49ers were always good. Cerrato not only failed to successfully transition the team into the next generation of winners (mostly by whiffing on Jim Druckenmiller), but he ...

I'm on board. I've never been impressed with Rogers, and would rather have Springs for the eight games he'll be healthy than Rogers for the whole season.

Rogers' value will probably never be higher, thanks to a good first half that I think was probably a fluke. He's our third best cornerback ...

A great story, as told by Shirley Povich in the August 12, 1938 edition of the Washington Post:

They tell tall tales of the tall Texan youth, but the story we like best is the fanciful one they repeat about the day he first joined the Redskins.

Taken in hand by Coach Ray Flaherty, Baugh was ...

This is just a Rooney Rule interview. The Lions were burned once when they hired Steve Mariucci without looking at any minority candidates. They're not going let that happen again.

If Gray lands a head job, I'll be shocked. But I could certainly see him getting a defensive coordinator position ...

Was he the last surviving member of the 1937 or even 1942 championship teams?

To all those saying, "one of the best", it's worth noting that when Baugh retired, he was considered THE greatest player of all time. He still played when men went both ways (or in his case, three ways), yet was also ...
