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

You caught me But he was making comments all night Sunday. Tonight I replayed the Hatcher roughing penalty several times. Collinsworth was dead wrong.

Despite outplaying the Cowboys most of the game Sunday, I don't think I heard more than about three positive comments from Collinsworth. meanwhile, he seemed to find about 50 examples how the Cowboys were playing great, how Romo was amazing and on and on.

He even blamed a supposed low block by ...

OK, here's how i think we stand for wild Card hopes, if the Cowboys win next week:

We will win the tie breaker against the Bears, Vikings and Giants. So the Giants are pretty much done. The Vikings play the Packers, so they could definitely lose. Bears play the Lions, which is not a gimme ...

I thought the 3rd tie breaker was conference record?

For a wild card spot - YES.

To become the Division winner, NO, different tiebreakers.

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied ...

If the Cowboys win vs. the Redskins next week, they will become the division winner.

This is because the Cowboys have the third tiebreaker!!!

The first tiebreaker is head to head games.
All three teams, Redskins, Cowboys and Giants will have split their head to head games, 1-1.

Second tie ...

Brandon Banks - the wide receiver - Not.

Now that Garcon is back in the starting lineup, I hope we can end those completely ineffective plays where Banks shifts to the backfield. Has Banks made it past the line of scrimmage once?

I'm also tired of seeing Banks making poor KR/PR decisions, including running the PR out of the end zone this ...

So, what do FANS anticipate from the opener? I mean fans who actually LIKE the Redskins, as opposed to those who claim they will secretly root against us for out own good, and then do their secret rooting at full volume. I sure hope Hightower sets the world on fire, although I hardly expect the ...

Royster, Aldrick Robinson, Maurice Hurt cleared waivers and were signed to the Redskins Practice squad, along with Reggie Jones and Doug Worthington.

1. Igor Olshansky - DL - just cut from the Cowboys, Olshansky is a veteran 3-4 DE and with Jarvis on IR, Olshansky would be good depth. He lost his starting job to new free agent Coleman. Olshansky's salary was too high for a backup so the Cowboys cut him. He's been a starter his whole career for ...

Beck has a stronger arm, more athleticism and makes quicker decisions. Grossman has his moments, but he is a known quantity. He is not getting much better from this point forward. Beck has upside and may blossom with some starts.

I think Grossman gives us a better chance to win in the first 3 or 4 ...

#23 to the house!!!

All of these analysts are looking for a sleeper around this time of the year. You look really good if you can say in December that you called it in August.

First off, I find this thread a bit comical in that people are instantly supporting Faulk as an analyst merely because he said he believes ...

All that matters is Wins. We need to win games and then it won't matter what the talking heads say. I do believe this is a very poor analysis. But if you're an NFL anlayst and you have to cover 32 teams after a lock-out, I can undertsand where there is not much "on the surface" to get excited about ...

Predictions * Redskins will win eight games, no playoffs. Very reasonable. I like 9 wins and no comment on play-offs.

* Both Beck and Grossman will start at least 3 games each. Even if Grossman wins the opening day starting job, at some point, I see Beck getitng on the field for his "evaluation ...

Predictions

* Redskins will win eight games, no playoffs.

* Both Beck and Grossman will start at least 3 games each.

* The offense will finish right in the middle, somewhere between 10th and 18th in the NFL in yards and points.

* The defense will be a little higher, somewhere ...

Despite the misconception of three on the line being smaller, the 3-4 is a usually a bigger defense than a 4-3. The three lineman are all bigger than typical 4-3 DL's. And the 4 LB's are bigger than typical 4-3 LB's. In addition to being bigger, the 3 DL's have more gap responsibility, so the 4 LB's ...

2007 - drafted by Miami who was a horrible team with a horrible O-line and no WR's and lost 15 games. Beck started 4 games, threw 559 yds, completed 57%, 1TD, 3 INT's.

2008 - Parcells came to town and drafted his own QB. Everyone knows when Parcell's comes to town, he likes to turn the roster ...

drafting college DE's as NFL LB's is old news. Just a few examples:

Demarcus Ware

Lemarr Woodley

Tamba Hali

Anthony Spencer

Clay Matthews (played both DE and LB at USC)

Calvin Pace

It may actually be harder to find college LB's who became an NFL 3-4 OLB's than college DE's who ...

He could become the next Matt Shaub (3rd round, Pro Bowl) or Drew Brees (2nd round, Pro Bowl, Super Bowl) or he could become the next Kellen Clemens (2nd round, started one season) or the next Rex Grossman (1st round, 34 starts, 1 Super Bowl).

Comparisons, at this point, to Brees or Shaub are ...

Since John Beck is being given a solid chance to win the job, there is a lot of discussion, even some dismay, about his lack of experience. I keep hearing comments like, "Who is this guy?", "why didn't Shanahan bring in a veteran?" and "why didn't they draft Dalton or Mallett?"


I think we fans ...
