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

It will be Fitz, but I want it to be Heinike. That said, Heinike needs to stop rolling out to run so quickly and instead learn how to evade a pass rush but still be in a position to make a throw. Against Cincy, he was rolling out and running far too fast. I consider him a Favre type player, which I ...

I really like this website and community. The reason for my drop-off in posts/interest was a result of Scot's firing and not facebook or any alternative venues to discuss skins topics. When Scot was fired, it solidified my opinion that Danny boy is 100% incapable of being a hands-off owner. He did ...

but rather the fact that we suck and offer no real future for him to succeed.

That is 100% what it comes down to. Cousins doesn't believe in the organization ---- and he is correct.

If you were in the position Cousins is in, would you want to stay here???? When you can go to about a dozen ...

Couldn’t agree with him less, IMO this shows that you don’t have to pay for an elite QB. The 1st , 2nd and 4th best defenses are in the conference championships. Conventional wisdom would say spend the money on defense. I really like Cousiins, but not at the cost he wants, maybe there will be a ...

None of the 3 are what I would consider as "good" ---- they all appear interchangeable, so I really am not concerned who is hurt or healthy among the 3. Thompson is the only RB of value on the roster and the only one I'd be concerned with if injured. Mack was a significant upgrade when Perine went ...

I think it has become VERY clear that top quality FO personnel will NOT, under any circumstances, work under Snyder. This is an undisputable fact. Just take a look at the FO history under Danny boy. What highly sought after FO personnel would knowing walk into that dumpster fire?

The only FO ...

Not really seeing this time improving because I don't really see anyone standing out in preseason. A couple of flashes here and there but no one really looking to force themselves into a starting lineup.

I tend to agree, but when you consider what he is working with and his results --- he has ...

The fact is our ownership/leadership team have done very little to garner interest. This offseason was a sh!tshow and when you consider the fact we are in a division with one established playoff team and two other ascending teams --- it doesn't bode well.

This offseason proved, once again, that ...

Ok understood, but this isn't about how "good" Cousins is anymore. IMO it's about what the market will bare...he has already shown he can play at a high level in the NFL. Take a look around the league and look at the contracts some of these one year (and in some cases less than a full year) wonders ...

I wouldn't say that. I believe there's a chance Cousins gets traded.....

I guess if you're banking on a Teddy Bridgewater injury, there's a chance. Otherwise, you would have to be a dummy (or a Redskins GM) to give up a second round pick for a guy who has already missed your offseason program and ...

I agree that he is gone next year. No question. The only exception is if they transition tag him and match. Considering SF and CLE have WAY more cap room, that will most likely not happen.

I don't think that's true. The Skins are projected to have $54m in cap space in 2018:

And you realize who ...

it's only just beginning - by the time the season rolls around, there will be many predicting a chance at the playoffs

hooray! - another 8-8 or 9-7 season, even more important, our 3rd in a row - WTF - this franchise is a huge mess with no plan for the future

I have no idea if the team will ...

Since Cousins never responded with a counter offer it wasn't about money. He didn't respect the FO enough to negotiate. He's gone, he'll be here in flesh but I think he left back when he started that 'how do you like me now' stuff.
Managements job is to fix the problems, to address the issues ...

Redskins seemed to have offered far less money than Bruce Allen claimed. Allen's offer included the tag money as the guaranteed $ to Cousins. From Jerry Brewer in the Post:

According to reporting from The Washington Post’s Mike Jones, Washington’s May contract proposal — essentially five new ...

This is total bush league by our FO. In order to cover their collective @sses from the fans, they issue a statement that ends up making them look even worse (if that's possible). It just shows that Cousins is smart enough to know DC isn't the place you want to spend your entire career. In my mind ...

With respect to the actual subject: I give the draft a B.

I think Allen is a decent player (although he did nothing in the national champ game) and I liked the Anderson pick, but the later round picks I thought left much to be desired. The UCLA DB/CB was a decent pick and can't really argue with ...

What the actual *f$ck*? Did you even see the video? The woman hit him first. All he did was defend himself.

Cleveland got a 1st round draft pick in the 6th round because there's some stupid double standard about how men aren't allowed to defend themselves from women.

If she had put her hands ...

So many quality players we could draft in the 2nd. LB, DL, OG, S, CB, RB. Plenty of opportunities. Wouldn't it be funny if we selected Chris Wormley and he ended up having a better career than Taco Charlton, who was picked by the Cowboys? How about Raekwon McMillan at LB? Or Zach Cunningham? I'd be ...

Who needs evidence? I like to make wild assumptions and treat them as facts. :D

While your previous post about Danny boy reading the MRI was hilarious ---- this is the type of reasoning that irks me in today's world. People try to disprove something by taking a "wild assumption" and comparing or ...

I was 100% for Foster at 17. I personally didn't care about the altercation at the combine, but I 100% DO CARE about the watered down pee test results. If the guy was playing dirty, and the way in which he plays could (not saying it is) be consistent with someone on enhancers, then I'm not drafting ...

I don't believe anything at all yet - which is my point. I've decided not to jump on the blame snyder train on this one.

Why not? He is always proven to be a liar. Why wait?


Not even Rain Man could see anything premeditated and calculated about what has gone on this off season.

"Ok guys ...

1) Maybe the Redskins don't see Scot as having delivered the goods. They may give Gruden more credit for the offensive improvement. They may also not be that impressed by Scot's FA and draft results. We took a WR in the first round that the team was clearly frustrated with and provided little ...

Appears to be a decent signing. 27 and a producer. The only thing is I wish the contract were for longer...... The 1 year thing may have been on his end in that he wants a major deal after multiple years of production.
