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

Is that right?
We beat Seattle.
Doesn't that give them the go ahead tie breaker or do we get it because we beat them?

The other bad thing is that we play two of those teams we're tied with; Vikes and Eggless.

As bad we are, they're worse.

KC is also swimming with a rock around its neck ...

Then why is Helu averaging 4.9 yards a carry ? .

Helu has 51 carries in 11 games. That's less than 5 per game.
He doesn't have one single game more than 10 carries.

That 4.9 stat couldn't be more inflated.
Arizona he had 10 carries for 74 yards / 7.4
Miami was 6 carries for 41 yards ...

Hall's an idiot.
What he should do is take a pay cut.
Extend his career 5 years and play Nickle.

That's something he would be quite good at.

I'd say the same about Shanahan now as I did the day he was hired.

He's a great coach who got fired for being a rotten personnel man.

I think he's doing a fine job of living up to that expectation.

Mike Shanahan is a 10-6 program with bolts of 11-5 when the Division is bad.
The Division ...

Rak loyalists.
Kerrigan is already the better linebacker in any set.

These two guys together can help each other into the HOF.
Couldn't happier about the opportunity they have at OLB

An owner trying to avoid the fundamental responsibility for his choices and role in the overall performance of this team over the last 12 years
And unfortunately so far I see no reason to think he's actually learned how to run a successful organization. He made a good choice with Shannahan, but ...

If the NFL thinks that it can survive outside of the advertising market they need to make a call to the people of the World Boxing Association.
They did that and only small fraction of America gives a flying crap about Boxing anymore.

Pay Per View would be end the NFL.

If the idiots of the ...

Whomever keeps the Pride Points on this board, mark me down.

I think the draft day trade with Jacksonville was a little fishy.

I am expecting that they traded down with Jacksonville to have a line on Garrard.
The "other" McNabb, but younger.

Beware the traders in a lockout.
There are no ...

Yeah. Ask Elway if that's true.

This is the guy who flagged Clinton Portis as a "system back".
As if the Backs don't really matter.

The truth is the truth.
Mike Shanahan is nothing without a King Cobra Quarterback to make his offense go.

No Elway, No Shanahan.
That's the truth.

Get a ...

If I thought I could make a poll without screwing it up I would have.
Faith in Self is running low today.

Let's try a BLOG SESSION. (just vent, respectfully, what you believe)
Do you think Mike Shanahan will succeed in DC or not?

------------------------------------

I don't think so, but ...

Does anybody believe that Mike gives options? That sounds so little like the Shanahan I know of.

I figure it was suggested and Donovan decided not to use a cheat sheet.

A scenario that better fits the two characters is that it was suggested.
Donovan wanted to force himself to get it right ...

This is drifting off topic but
what does Homeland Security have to do with Copyright Law?
Terrorist streamers?
Get rid of it.

Actually paying to watch the Redskins is a crime.
Dan should be streaming the games himself.

Mike's confidence as a coach slip over to arrogance from time to time.

The question is about it happening.
Yep. I think Mike feels he can coach anybody regardless of baggage.
Reference Albert Haynesworth.
Who didn't know that situation wasn't coming. But Mike charged ahead with it.

Vince ...

Despite what Rex and Donovan looked like, another WR and better blocking make both of them better.
Mike is not wrong about having options.
The Redskins are not likely to win the NFCE so he can still take a patient course.
Keep Donovan
Promote Rex
Pick up Vince
Trade for Kolb

There could be ...

While not a Albert fan I do think Mike screwed up by taking a guy who is not a Nose Tackle and refusing to play him at DE where he could be an influence.

If it was okay to bench AH and play Bryant at NT, then why not have played Bryant AND Haynseworth as the DE?

What I felt that it came down ...

Wasn't the original rule at the 40 before the owners started "improving" things?

If they want to really make it good,
penalize the out of bounds kick if it goes through the endzone.

Make the kickers focus on accuracy.

Let's just take Hall and Fletcher an put them in Pittsburgh.
They would be even more if they played there.
DC labors even those guys.

If Brian had a Cowboys jersey he would be a national god already.
Go ahead and tell me that it's not true.

Dock's a straight ahead power guy.
I don't know ...

Andre is a good guy but I thought the Shanahan theme was to Get Younger.

I'd like to see a little less B.S. from the team management.

I don't want to see another entire camp wasted on the Portis, Johnson, Parker crowd just to end up not giving reps to the Torain crowd that need the work and ...

Mike's talking step one, but he's been in the position to execute the plan before in Denver.

Then he was fired for it.
So, he has something to prove in DC before I buy into Mike as the 'answer' for the Redskins.

There is Plummer and Cutler to consider but Jake is not going to any Pro Bowls ...

Name a player the Bills HAVEN'T cut.

The bottom line is that Dock plays well in a vertical offense and will hustle down the field.

Trying to gauge any player by his performance in DC is like trying to time an Olympic swimmer with bricks around his neck.
If you haven't been paying attention ...

We're the catfish bottom dwellers.
The only thing the dispute hits is Free Agency for us.
We swing for Base Hits in the Draft and forget Home Runs.

Personally, I'd like to see the NFL end on this note.

The players have the moxie to run a football show.
They understand that it's an ...

There so much obvious bad to post up about Vinny but for just being a guy I like the dude.
If Dan is on the road with his hood up, I'm hitting the gas and praying for a mud puddle.
If it's Vinny, I'll stop to help.
He's a good guy.

Listening to the interview and remembering the George Michael ...

I have always been a fan of Dockerys. I personally think he got the short end of the stick in DC. After all, he did play behind Lichtensucker -- who may be one of the worst redskin OGs over the past 2 decades.

I never understood MS's decision to not start DD -- personally, I think it is evidence ...

Anyone know how much of the Danny's money this fat, lazy, insorbordinate slob got? I know the numbers that comes up all the time are $100 M and $41M guaranteed, but I think it is going to be far less than $41M. Maybe $32M. Not cump change, but still, so much for "guaranteed money".

At least, MS ...
