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

its an interesting list of "survivors/holdovers" ... not many top draft picks. orakpo and fred davis ... and then, golston taken late in the draft and came with a troubled history (off the field tho' as we know) ... read doughty another 6th round pick, the ultimate survivor of all maybe. both ...

i've never heard of being punished for not colluding to a salary cap in a salary cap free year ... thats darn original thinking by the NFL

if a QB doesn't get the chance to play fairly early after being drafted i don't see how he keeps his game sharpness or his game instincts ... almost inevitably, it seems to me, some aspects of his game must actually deteriorate as he warms the bench or holds the clipboard. I know Todd Collins made a ...

i laughingly predicted this positional pick as being one where we have no need at all ... and look what turns up

i think they're all so used to us not picking in this year's draft they've forgotten we're there ...

I just like CB and his gun slinger approach and to my logic it would be useful to have a QB in your list who might be a bit different and be able to go after it naturally and not just because hes told to, if the game situation requires that. Collins is surely done now. we didnt use him in the 2nd ...

well Stephenie, while i agree that Zorn deserves to be fired, he should NEVER have been appointed Head Coach in the first place!! It was an unbelievable and ridiculous appointment and it has played out the way it was always going to. For an owner who wants to win so badly, and for the fans, it was a ...

Where did this come from?? miracle on 34th Street!

This was a shocking loss to the poorest team in recent football - was it 0 yards rushing in the first half, less than 100 yds offense in the first half, against.... DETROIT!! Now every dog has his day but why my friends do they always seem to have them against us? Last year the Rams - same old, same ...

This is sooo funny - the Giants have picked up a number of our wantaways and castoffs over the past few seasons for exactly the same reason. What goes around, comes around....

If CB had come in and stunk the place out when he was given his ' garbage time' opportunities last pre-season i could understand why some fans are down on him. Hey, but he didn't - he came in and showed a little something ( heart, temperament, leadership) so i for one hope that this lad may develop ...

Good job! Now he needs to front up again next season - performance pay is a much better way of rewarding players than all this up front money that is thrown around in the league.

Next year, we can spend a no. one pick on a QB.


Does Colt Brennan not deserve a go?


Yeah. God knows he lit it up in the ...

So predictable - on both sides. I don`t see much upside to this at all - sure we have saved some cap space but now we have another position to address without enough picks and time running along in free agency. What a waste of 2 draft picks for no real gain !! I know that I can say that with the ...

I agree that the choice about what to do with our 1st and 3rd round picks seems to be between RT and OLB but personally i`m also wondering about safety. Horton and Moore both brought something last season but what if season 2 proves more difficult for them - what do we do then? So I think we have 3 ...

I think this becomes a really interesting topic about now. We may be able to do a little more in free agency but probably nothing much more than O-line/LB depth. So as I see it that leaves us with at least 2 starters needed from the draft with a good first rnd pick and a 3rd. We need a RT we know ...

Well W M - i sort of agree with you - the lack of productivity that we get out of some players that do well elsewhere ( didn`t Stoutmire have a big year for the Saints 2 seasons ago? ) is worrying and points to being a poor fit or badly coached and used.
However, I do feel that we have been ...

I have had a very strong feeling right since the H of F game that Colt Brennan is Zorn`s guy and for what its worth he`s mine too. JC looked very poor against the Giants - he holds the ball way too long , seems indecisive and locked on one or 2 options only for passing. I don`t think he gets this ...

This has been one of my concerns all summer - I`ve been waiting for some strong move to offer a real alternative to Doughty. All we got was a couple of late draft picks and Schweigert who has already been adiosèd. I can`t imagine what the coaches talked about on this one - no doubt they have been ...

Its great to read about the positive options we have this year - I like McMullen and Mix so let the best man win. Mostly, I`m delighted that we`re getting so many receivers in play this pre-season and hopefully with the WC Offense its only going to get better. Also we haven`t seen our 2nd rnd picks ...

A Journo trying to stir up trouble here - however, if Sellers said those words , in whatever context, then he has gone down in my estimation. Thing is Joe would undoubtedly agree that he didn`t get things right the second time around -but treating players like kids , I doubt it. I`m some distance ...

Mix didn`t seem to play slow making a couple of ST plays at the end of last season. I am hoping he comes on this year.

I think the thread is totally legit - whatever view you take after discussing it is up to each of us. Personally. I`d be tempted enough to sound it out. I realise that this guy has a history of trouble and maybe thats enough to put Zorn off - however, he sounds like what we need and the Cowboys got ...

Any extra picks would be really welcome this year ( any year in fact ) as it looks as though we`re going to try to do most things through the draft which is exactly what a lot of us have been calling for these past 3-4 years.
As we stand today Hackett is unsigned so needs at WR, S, D-line, O-line ...

Sorry I have been so long in adding my thoughts - I`ve been away for several days and heard the news in a hotel room. Sean you were a special - actually, extra special football player and I was so looking forward to seeing you develop into one of the greatest Redskins of all time. Whereever you are ...
