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

I think I can easily find more than 6-7 wins on the schedule. Look, the Eagles are going to drop off a bit this year. Kolb is getting way too much respect and honestly I see bust written all over him. With the additions of McNabb and now Jammal Brown the Redskins have solved their two biggest ...

He has some serious deficiencies in pass coverage and seems to be a bit a slower than Rian Wallace and Albert Fincher, the two LBs he's competing with for a spot. He does hit hard and he played good special teams for us last year. With Wallace dislocating his shoulder and us probably keeping 7 LBs ...

Who hasn't done poorly with Detroit? Marinelli hasn't done much better there and Matt Millen isn't exactly in the running for executive of the year. Mariucci is a good coach and when he coached San Fransisco he had records of 13-3, two 12-4 seasons, and a 10-6 season. He did lose a lot in the ...

The Eagles just beat the Dallas Cowboys yesterday and have a lot of pride. Their defenses is leaps and bounds ahead of the Cards D and they have a lot of pride. Andy Reid will have them ready to play and the Saints aren't world beaters, they have lost a lot of winnable games this year. And with ...

I e-mailed Jason La Confora and he personally told me that Moss was out for more than one game and McCardell is being signed due to injury. Here is exactly what he said:

How wasn't the Caldwell signing for Brandon Lloyd? He has already fallen out of favor with the coaching staff. Now I personally feel we didn't give him enough of a chance but James Thrash is predominantly the 3rd reciever right now. Which isn't a good thing so they brought in Caldwell and now ...

How in the world would they know? And I think there would have been a report by now. This guy was walking off fine after the game because I remember Comcast tracking him down as he was headed to the locker room. There has been no announcement yet so I wouldn't panic. I mean an (O) listed next to him ...

Montgomery is the starting tackle and Golston rotates in. Daniels plays end, so Evans is definitely the back-up.

The back-up is Demetric Evans who has started before. Relax man. Phillip Daniels is 35 and I don't see him being that significant of a loss for the Eagles game. Evans will be fine and Wilson will come in on third downs to rush the passer. A loss, yes, but not a big enough one to panic about.

I wouldn't say that. He's probably tired of answering stupid questions. The stuff they were saying to him about being "old" probably offended him. Springs will be fine and he's an upgrade over anyone behind him. When he doesn't play, the level of our defense declines. Hell, he could have just been ...

They cut TE Eric Edwards to make room.

The 5th WR will likely be picked up off the waiver wire. Somebody like Gabriel from Oakland or something. There's just nobody on the roster right now worth that spot on the team.

It was time for Renaldo. I watched him in the preseason and he was getting no push when trying to rush the passer. And he was getting pushed aside on running plays. He's too old and his best years are behind him. He was a leader which makes it tough but it also shows a testament to our depth this ...

Guys relax here. Everything I've heard about Kendall is pretty good and the article on ESPN was quoted that the "former Boston College star, Kendall has appeared in 158 games, all but two of them as a starter. He has played all 16 games in five different seasons and has never appeared in fewer than ...

But it's not that we're losing, it's the way the losses are coming. 41-0 is bad no matter what the circumstances, preseason, regular season, or backyard football. We are getting pummeled and I hope it ends soon.

Hello?! Did anyone see that we traded for CB Mike Rumph from San Francisco? The guy's a former number one draft pick who has plenty of starting experience (he's just been hurt). The guy had 64 tackles, 3 INT in '03 which is the only season he really was healthy for. This is a problem but not a big ...

On Redskins.com, the poll asks who will win the nickel corner job during camp and Ade Jimoh is winning with a staggering 48 percent of the votes. Mark my words, Kenny Wright was brought in here for one thing and that was to solidify the nickel corner spot and improve on last year's unreliable and ...

I wish everybody would stop worrying about the money. Randle El is worth 31 mil because of his versality, not just as a reciever but as a dynamic force in the return game. He also adds gadget plays to Saunders offense as a quarterback. Mark my words, we will look back on this as we did the Santana ...

I already beat you to it. Sorry, it's in the Randle El posts.

Well how bout this for convincing?

Do you believe Jason La Confora of the Post? It also says Fauria is close to signing.

maybe ESPN "the worldwide leader in sports" knows a little more than Jay Glazer from FOX and Adam Schefter from NFL Network. Plus Elfin (Wash Times) reported this morning that the Redskins were strapped with the cap and had little money to spend.

"the Redskins are so pressed for salary cap room ...

ESPN just updated the article with financial details.
6 years, 31 mil
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2365504

John Clayton said he knew the financial details of the new deal and said that the Redskins offered him 12 million more in total contract value than the Bears original offer. Clayton said that negotiations wrapped up 30 min ago. Clayton is never wrong.

The reason why they haven't signed yet is because they got to Redskins Park at 6:30. Here's the link to the article (no it's not just another article about Lloyd).

Redskins | Lloyd trade done
Sat, 11 Mar 2006 15:56:29 -0800

Greg Beacham, of the Associated Press, reports the San Francisco 49ers have traded restricted free agent WR Brandon Lloyd to the Washington Redskins for the Redskins' third-round pick in this year's NFL Draft and their fourth-round ...
