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

You obviously didn't comprehend the tone of my statement.

I like tradition, ESPECAILLY WHEN IT LOOKS GREAT.

I'm also not one of those blowhard old-school guys that will say NEVER change something. I get the fact that things evolve...but in my opinion, there's no need to change the Redskins ...

Well, I'm sure you all have heard and read about the "Redskin Rule". It came into play again for this eleciton and once again it holds true.

Kind of a stupid coincidence but still very interesting.

For the past 71 years, the outcome of the Redskins LAST HOME GAME prior to the election dictates ...

I was not referring to the fact that the UNIFORM chosen has any impact on the outcome of the game.

I am speaking about the basic tenent of tradition. Since 1980, the Redskins have overwhelmingly worn white shirts and burgundy pants at HOME. This is the combination that was worn during the glory ...

Not a big fan of burgundy on burgundy. At all. I think it looked crappy!!!

Why don't we stick to the classic white jersey with burgundy pants?? That was the standard for years and years.

That was the combination worn in every Super Bowl win.

When I think of John Riggins running over Don ...

I think it's time to truly put the Redskins season in perspective.

Clearly, the two road wins "IN DALLAS...IN PHILLY!" elevated expectations. As well they should have. Not only for winning, but more precisely, HOW those games were won. The Redskins demonstrated a brand of football in those two ...

Is Steve Cox available? I loved the single bar helmet and straight-line punting approach. That guy had a leg...remember Gibbs would trot him out for 60-plus field goal attmepts? Sure...he might be in his 50's now but he wouldn't be any worse than Du-shank Brooks.

ps: best punter name of all-time ...

What gives? Does this cat even work for the Post anymore? Dude hasn't written a column on the Redskins in about a month.

The Redskins have NEVER worn all burgundy in a game. I like the burgundy shirt with white pants...however, the white shirt/burgundy pants combo, to me, is the way to go. Think about it. Not only does it look great, but the vast majority of Redskins glory has happened with that combination. Riggo 4th ...

I couldn't agree more more. Pete stepped up to the plate and took it like a man. Was it a stupid play? Yes. However, in the heat of battle, he was trying to make something happen. There was plenty of blame to go around and yes that was a big play, but this whole loss was a team effort.

Do you guys know if the Redskins will use ALL-WHITE uniforms at home for the rest of the year? I prefer the more traditional, classic burgundy pants with white tops. Not a big fan of the all whites. Interesting side note: remember 2001? Marty's team that year wore the burgundy tops at home for ...

Hey guys...here's a link to an interview done today with ex-Boise State coach Skip Hall. The guy that gave Zorn his first coaching job back in 1989. Reflections about the man...including some retro photos of Coach Zorn. Enjoy!

Let's cut Dan Snyder a little slack. In the past he's had a one-track mind when it comes to the head coaching search and usually zeroed in on the big name without even considering anybody else. We all know how that turned outl.

This time around he was deliberate and expanded the search to try and ...

Why is this so hard for Snyder?

Here's the deal...if you look at fAssel and Mooch there are no real arguments to be made in favor of Fassel. Sure he led the Giants to the Super Bowl but other than that...these guys are similar.

So why not go with the personable guy that we know will get a long ...

Some are saying that DS will hold off until Monday to make an announcement simply to get better press coverage.


That would be bull...THERE IS NO REASON TO WAIT. This freakin' process has dragged on long enough. With Spags out Snyder has to know (or at least I hope he knows) who he wants. It's ...

Wow....I gotta say, this is starting to look ugly.

Okay...so here are the Skins interviewing Spagnuolo and Fassel is told to "stand by".

That is lame...it makes Fassel look like a desperate loser.

Akin to the love-sick nerd that is watching the hottest girl in school dance with everybody ...

I'm as optimisitc as the next guy...and love to see the trend continue as far as the Skins winning the year after the G-Men hoist the Lombardi Trophy. However, this is a different deal. Back then the Skins were entrenched with Gibbs and hall of famers like Green and Monk ( Gee, I LOVE THE WAY THAT ...

There have been some very questionable draft picks over the last few years. One in 2003 stands out...especially after watcing Osi blossom in New York.

2nd Round 2003:

Skins take Taylor Jacobs early in the 2nd round with guys like Osi, Lance Briggs and Jason Witten on the board...just to name a ...

Yea, I'm thinking he did a super job against the Pats in the bowl but he didn't really have a hand in the offense; so to say he can prepare a whole team is yet to be seen.

Umm...ya, I didn't mean the WHOLE team. Perhaps I should've been more clear:

As the DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, he did a ...

I'm starting to warm up to this cat. Not sure how Greg Blache's presence impacts his candidacy, however, based on the Super Bowl...this guy clearly knows how to pepare a team. Here's a closer look at a couple of unique ties to the Redskins AND his extensive experience within the division ...

It's about time! Maybe Art's wait was worth it...now he gets to go in together with Darrell. Very nice that those great 80's teams finally get some well-deserved recognition. Both of these guys were CLASS acts on and off the field and will only enhance the Hall of Fame for future generations.

As ...

There should be no question what-so-ever that Darrell Green is a no-brainer fisrt-ballot hall of famer. I could go on and on about the reasons of which most people on this board are very familiar with. But the things that really standout for me are the facts that he defined his position in the 80's ...

He does kind of look like wide-eyed Reche doesn't he?

As for first round receivers...I kind of see your point 33. Didn't quite think that whole thing through.

With all of this uncertainty, speculation and intrigue...I'm starting to get that feeling you get right before christmas and you keep staring at the present wondering what's in it! I just want to know who our next coach is going to be and move on and start preparing for 2008. I hope it's Mooch ...

Honestly...how hard would it be to coordinate that offense? Seriously?

I think I could probably do it.

Hey Tom...just do your thing. Randy and Wes? You do what you do and Donte hang around for any scraps. Laurence? When we need you Tom will hand it off to you. LET'S GO!"

The more this plays out, the more I feel like Steve Mariucci is the guy. He was on NFL network earlier today from the SB Media Day and was asked point-blank about the Redskins. He responded very politically correct and in a way that DID NOT in any way, shape or form extinguish the rumors. In fact ...
