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

At this rate, Merriweather isn't going to get paid for his 2013 campaign. I think he's just got old habits that are what got him into the NFL, and it's just going to be too late to try to change them. Given the quality of his play this year, I can't see him being on our roster in 2014 anyway.

I can't change it. It might offend the African-Americans. Or the Natives.

Commonality of usage matters. Where the comparison to other racial epithets falls short for me is in that the first thing most people think of when they hear "Redskins" is the professional football club. The same cannot be said for any of the other terms to which Redskins is being compared ...

What Welch said.

Just found out Selvish Capers was cut in a corresponding move ...

Ryan Torain - RB - Giants

Giants agreed to terms with RB Ryan Torain.
Torain has been out of the league since the Redskins cut him on the heels of a 3.4 YPC average last December. He's a power back similar to Andre Brown while Kregg Lumpkin is a superior receiver and special teamer. Torain is ...

Anthony Armstrong - WR - Cowboys

Cowboys signed WR Anthony Armstrong.
With Miles Austin (hip, hamstring) and Kevin Ogletree (concussion) in doubt for Week 13, the Cowboys are scraping for depth. Armstrong has already spent time with the Redskins, Dolphins and Jags this season. He'll slide in ...

Yea, so was the offense which featured Gary Clark and Ricky Sanders, but the team still needed an Art Monk. There has to be more to it than meets the eye test.

So much for going into prevent offense mode.

Gomes was molested on that play ...

I wouldn't mind the Redskins playing for 60 minutes as opposed to 30 minutes. Seems like they've taken their foot off the accelerator.

If my team had Tony Romo and the other team had RGIII I'd be unhappy too.

I find it impossible to criticize Jim Haslett given the personnel he now has to work with. Then again, he wasn't given much to work with from the beginning. Even before all of the injuries and suspensions the safety corps was highly suspect. It puts too much on the cornerbacks when there is no pass ...

He isn't? Last yr, only 6 teams had 2 WR's with 800+ yds. We were 1 of them. AA had 871. 3 teams had a #2 WR with more yds.

The Redskins also passed 65% of the plays last season, largely because they couldn't run the ball effectively. It stands to reason the team will run more and pass less ...

@RosenhausSports spoke with the NFL today and told that no decision has been made regarding Terrelle's eligibility for supplemental draft

he’s stiff, a limited as a pass rusher and simply plays too high when asked to anchor.

That would render Sumner pretty useless in a 3-4 base defense. All the brute strength in the world doesn't equate to football skill at the professional level. Defensive linemen have to play with leverage and ...

R.I.P.

I'm on the side of free markets. Which means the government should stay out of it. The Federal courts have zero Constitutional authority to make any ruling on this. If the owners have the market power they should "win" and if the players do they should.

I'm all for Laissez-faire capitalism ...

If the team is such as Willie Parker describes then how is it that he was unable to make the roster over the likes of Larry Johnson? Not even the UFL has contacted Parker. As Pittsburgh was mentioned, one reason they are consistently successful is they cut dead weight like the aforementioned Willie ...

ESPN's Adam Schefter: "It doesn't look like either Christian Ponder or Andy Dalton is going to make it into the second round."

Jones would have Rex Grossman breaking him in. Or John Beck.

Assuming that's true, so what? You wouldn't be drafting Jones for one year only. Should we trade ey just because we have a problem at qb right now? The point isn't just to build a team for 2011, and Jones has a higher upside than Quinn ...

Julio Jones makes about as much sense as drafting a punter at #10. Jones will be an impact player for a team with a quarterback. That doesn't mean the Redskins should trade the pick if Robert Quinn is there. The Redskins need impact players.

Robert Quinn is obscenely overrated. On their face, his ...
