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

The funniest commercial was the one where the guy was on the phone in the convienience store saying you're getting robbed, then he gets beaten up by the store owner and his wife.

The godaddy.com one or whatever it was probably the best though just because it had one of the hottest girls I have ...

I don't know what he should have said, but I don't think saying I told you so after a loss goes over very well.

I don't know about anyone else, but Terrell Owens actually confirmed my belief that he is completely selfish after the Super Bowl. After the game he told the media that none of them thought that he could play as well as he did, and that he would be praised if he was Brett Favre. Why exactly is he ...

If a person came to your house to harm you, would they knock on the door?

Maybe the option wouldn't be gimmicky if the offense had a quarterback who could run the option and the offense actually practiced it.

Welch keeps talking about how you stop an option offense but the idea that a particular scheme or strategy can stop an offense is false. Any well devised offense ...

Yes, but pro football started in 1892, and the nfl started in 1920 initially known as the American Professional Football Association. The T formation wasn't brought to the nfl until the 1930's. For a period of time the single wing was the dominant offense in the nfl, and that is not exactly a ...

Spurriers offense is not the run and shoot. Lumping his offense in with the run and shoot is like lumping Bill Walsh's system in with the Gilman/Coryell system. His offense may share a few similarites with the run and shoot, but virtually every offense in the nfl does.

Where is this proof that ...

You are blatantly wrong when you say that the run and shoot and option offenses require more talent to work than a pro style offense. There is a reason that Navy and Air Force run the triple option. It allows them to compete against teams with far more talent. I don't know where you have gotten this ...

Well, if thats the case, then welch is "defending" his argument too. And since when have you ever said to someone during a "debate" that they were right and you were wrong. Don't be a hypocrite. You are also showing that you don't have any evidence that an option offense won't work either because if ...

Not you. BringthePain. He seems to think that just because I defend what I believe in, I must be wrong. The simple fact is that welch hasn't shown any evidence that the option offense doesn't work.

If you don't feel strong enough about your beliefs to defend them, why have them?

An option offense doesn't need to have a great passing attack to succeed. If the play action game is succesful enough to both keep the defense from being too aggressive and at the same time take advantage of the defense when it is being too aggressive, that is a successful passing attack in an ...

I disagree with you about the quarterbacks. They don't have to run as well as a running back to be successful and they don't have to be as good a passer as a Peyton Manning or Tom Brady. Their main job is simply to make the correct reads. If an option quarterback has some athleticism (he doesn't ...

Yeah, Miami beat Nebraska in 92' and FSU beat Nebraska in 93', however, after that Nebraska became one of the most dominant college football teams of all time, running a mixture of the option and power football out of the I formation (they never ran the wishbone). In 94' they beat Miami in the ...

If the option is never run, how do you know it doesn't work?

You do occasionally see the option run in the NFL, it never works, and it has nothing to do with the defense. The option is a play that takes a lot of practice to be able to execute well. When you do see it in the nfl it simply isn't ...

Why do you guys want to change? I honestly don't think the redskins uniforms look all that bad. What, do you guys think they will look more modern if you add some sissy differently colored side panels, or a narrowing stripe either down the side of the pants or on the helmet like the Broncos? Any ...

The eagles have no shot in this game. Right now they are happy just to be in the Super Bowl. After the game half of their players were crying and saying things like "we finally got over the hump." The Patriots will come in mentally prepared and will dominate the eagles.

joebagadonuts, I agree with you completely. It is the job of our military to defend this country. We may possibly have improved the situation in Iraq, but in doing so we have only created more terrorists. We have turned muslims that didn't hate us before into potential terrorists just because we ...

Afghanistan, Iraq, anyone can confuse the two. Besides, those A-rabs are all the same right?

Redskin Don, what exactly did Iraq have to do with 9/11? Afghanistan was one thing. I will never think that war is a good idea, but if a war can be justified, going after Afghanistan was. Thats were al Qaeda was. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. The terrorists got there only after we invaded.

I ...

hailskins, fighting terrorism is a justifiable cause. But Iraq had nothing to do with terrorism. There were no terrorists there. Bush's initial reason for going to war was that Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. When that couldn't be proved the reason became terrorism. When that couldn't be ...

My point isn't that everyone who supports the war is a nazi and everyone who is against it is standing up for free speech. I am not degrading your opinion that the war in Iraq is justified. What I don't like is your insinuation that questioning the president at all is anti-american.

I never ...

Yeah, I'm sure Monk never ever pushed off. Just like I'm sure no Redskins ever used drugs. The cowboys were no different than any other team in the nfl. They had mostly good guys, but because of the high level of media scrutiny on them, the few bad apples on the team got all the publicity.

The thinking that we have elected a president and he should do as he sees fit and that no one should ever question him is not only not patriotic, it is anti-american and in my opinion, akin to nazism. If, because I am anti-war, I should not be allowed to express my opinions, then this is not a ...

Smoking crack has nothing to do with what Irvin did on the field. Even I think he's a dick, but that has nothing to do with what he accomplished as a receiver. I also don't think that the comparisons with Rose are necessarily fair. Rose gambled on baseball and compromised the integrity of the game ...
