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

I can't tell you how many clubs I closed down when I was 24.

Congrats!

Were you a rich 24 year old football player by any chance? And it doesn't matter if the club is nice. There is no guarantee that the streets are nice when you walk out of there at 4 AM.

No, but I was 24, and, if you know ...

Clubbing after midnight = stupid.

Nothing good ever happens then... when are these young players going to get that???

Exactly. I'm glad he is OK but being in a club AT 4 AM, IN DC is not the smartest place to be if you are a young rich football player.

Why can't the Skins just stay out of the ...

We in DC, refer to him as Derek Wake, the name he used when he dominated at DeMatha.

Wahoo don't you think dominated isn't strong enough still??

If you want to know why the University of Maryland is getting killed in basketball and football, look no further than their inability to recruit in ...

I disagree...this is the Redskins under the ownership of Daniel Snyder. Past performance is definitely an indicator of future results.

Question: does this count as the team getting behind Shanahan's mindset of discipline, integrity, and accountability? I think it does.

No. Phillip Daniels had accountability and discipline way before Shanahan showed up. I had the good fortune of eating dinner last year with Phillip Daniels at a ...

I pray to God there is a lockout so I can do something different with my Sundays.

So...Is Haslet still our front runner for DC next year? I think the second half was much improved but that first half was incredibly bad. I know our offense sucks but why were we so not attuned until the second half? Another question...Why was Albert deactivated for this game? Anyone?

That's just ...

Last one out, turn out the light.

Rigidly adhering to any draft philosophy is stupid.

Suppose your philosophy is "Best availible player"... If best availible grades out at 2 selections better than the best player at a position of severe need, what do you do? Ignore your need?

Suppose you are intent on picking only players of ...

Gee, Mr Burns, can I have a six-pack? To make it clear:

- The OL is being rebuilt.

- Runners don't matter if you have an OL. They are the engine of the offense.

- There are only two receivers. The team needs another TE and two more WRs

- the entire defense is being evaluated as they learn the ...

It's the NFL. Everybody beats everybody. If you don't believe me...check out the graphic at the link below.

The NFL is all about consistency. You have to win the majority of the games you are supposed to and steal a couple others of the games that you were suppose to lose. You are never ...

I don't see the sky falling. This was not, and is not, a playoff team. It should be an 8 - 8 team, give or take a game.

OL: rebuilding

RB: depends on OL

QB: McNabb looks better than anyone since Rypien or maybe Brad Johnson with a fair wind.

TE: ey (and only...)

WR: Moss (who has been with he ...

I like this deal actually; I trust that there are "football people" in this organization that know what they are doing. There was no point in trading for McNabb if they didn't plan on getting him a deal like this. Especially after this team has bought into McNabb as a player and especially as their ...

Beats the crap out of signing a new stop-gap veteran QB for more draft picks. I couldn't care less how many millions DS spends.

Isn't that what McNabb was? A stop gap measure until we got someone good...costing 2 picks to get him?

My head just exploded. He's in the lower 20% in every ...

Damn, I wanted him for the Skins. Obviously he's in high demand since the worst team in the league claimed him almost immediately.

He has been completely ineffective since his superpowers were taken away and he's been hurt all the time to boot (which is the usual result of somebody coming off go ...

I wouldn't listen to Colin Cowherd if he was the only thing on the radio. He's a d-bag with a 3rd rate understanding of anything sports related.

Here's an excerpt from a recent Cowherd rant about John Wall. Apparently you can craft a complete impression about somebody by watching a 30 sec dance ...

McNabb, warts and all, is the best QB we have had since Jurgy. I just don't know how long he will last behind this line, which, at this time, seems even worse than last year.

I can't believe that somebody just wrote this. He's terrible. McNabb's time in DC is over....somebody call the time ...

Shawne Merriman was just waived, and even though it appears his best days are behind him, the dude is only 26.

He was born in D.C., starred at Maryland and IIRC was a Skins fan growing up. At one time he was an absolute beast, and he would be a HUGE improvement over Lorenzo Alexander who has ...

From ProFootballTalk:

"Chris Mortensen calls Shanahan's displeasure with McNabb 'the worst kept secret in the league'"

This has nothing to do with this thread, but I had to add it somewhere.

As much as I can't stand Mike Wise, he had a great name for Carlos Rogers. He called him "Washington's Hands Free Device". I couldn't stop laughing when I read it

So you're agreeing with me and saying that Donny isn't Pro Bowl caliber. Finally...somebody agrees with me!

I actually like this coaching staff. As opinionated as I've been with switching to the 3-4, I think it's the right move, just get more players who can play this system before you do it.

I also like the philosophy that Kyle brings to the table and I love the vertical passing game, the one thing I ...
