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

Ultimately, all Skins fans are at a paradox in the universe. Do we root for them to win as many games as possible??? For what so they can end the season at 8-8, or do fans believe there is an outside hope they can make the playoffs?? Or do we hope for a high draft pick to reveamp o-line or get ...

I know I'm usually the skeptic and have a tendency to be negative, but this is a positive post. L.F. has been the man on D since he arrived, he leads the d, helps in the community, and is an outstanding individual as far as I am aware (don't know him personally), but I applaud his effort on and off ...

I'm used to seeing the Redskins win.

Here here I could care less about past history it provided me some solitude for a while, but now .500 doesn't cut it in a major market with an owner with deep pockets who doesn't spend well.

This isn't just something that happens with the Skins. Contract years are always good years for players because they are playing for something more than just winning.

And yes, the vast majority of the time, it is about the money. I must say, though, that Rocky was playing well when healthy last ...

He's playing hard and doing many good things on def because he is a free agent next year. It's funny how players the Skins have or acquire play great in contract years, but once they receive their money they suck. Fat Al, Deon, James Washington, ARE, DeAngelo Hall, John Hall (he just plain sucked ...

i like it, but i'm sure Snyder would just pay more to have it not advertised...

Nice I should do that in fact, I just might

This is terrible news and it only supports the lack of effort the FO has put forth in obtaining or developing young offensive linemen. I hope he will lead a normal life and he has been one of the few bright spots the last ten years. And the hits keep on coming

Wow you all a lot of faith cause I don't see them winning anymore than three games this year, and the Chiefs are getting closer to that ever elusive first win. I believe that the Skins will provide the Chiefs with their first victory, but I hope I'm wrong and you all are right.

Go away with that ...

He should be in the front office the problem is the Skins after JKCooke died gave up on any loyalty to past players and when you do that your franchise loses it's sense of pride and that is the problem no pride

He needs to learn how to tackle and take his skirt off

Yeah and Snyder kept interrupting and saying "what does this have to do with the bottom line? Who cares what you players think and if we win or lose just show me the money! And by the way I have bingo, and every Sunday we are at home I yell bingo!"

I believe that Gruden would be the best choice for this team, and that Holmgren would be a great VP and then Danny boy can sit and watch. Probably won't happen wishful thinking, but I think if these changes were made the Skins would be one of the better teams in the NFC. Now I know that the O-Line ...

The Deadskins are the worst team given their talent. There is no reason for this team to be 2-3. I hate this team I will never watch another game it is a waste of my time. I thought they might have been able to string some wins together, but no. They have given the Lions and Panther's their first ...

this will send the Skins over the top playoffs here we come

I know that Zorn may not be the answer the only other viable option is to hire Chuckie. He knows the west coast offense and can incoporate a power running game as he did in TB. Hell, he won a superbowl with Brad Johnson, and they were not a team like the Ravens that had an amazing defense and an ...

The problem with play-action and JC is that he doesn't sell it as well as the QB's listed they really sell the fake and that is something that Gibbs coached QB's and RB's displayed. The play-action fake must be carried out the same as a called hand-off, and JC and the backs don't do this. The QB ...

Portis should look at himself and realize he needs to do some stability work on a bosu ball. He might be one of the worst running backs at keeping his balance. I have seen him multiple times trip over his own feet or try to cut off of his inside foot and fall down for a 6 yard gain that could have ...

Is the offensive line the problem in the red zone or is it the play calling. I am beginning to think it is the line that causes an inability to score in the red zone. Hypothesis: in theory the o-line doesn't have to pass protect as long when the ball is in the middle of the field because there is a ...

I think the problems on defensive starts with intensity. The front four continuously get man handled thus the rushing yards given up thus far. Coaches can change players to any position, but until that player decides that he is going to beat the guy in front of him every down adjustments don't work ...

I love the optimism. But let me ask you this. Would you bet $1000 the Skins will win ten games this season?

I wouldn't bet $1000 that the sun's coming up tomorrow, so no.

Beating on if the Skins would win ten games is different than making a prediction. I would not put money down because the ...

I predict that the Skins will win 10 games I think that they will discard the apathy demon and begin to win games. They will beat the Bucs, Chiefs, Raiders, Broncos, Eagles (split), Cowboys (split), Saints, Panthers, and Chargers. They will lose to the Eagles once, Cowboys once, and the Giants, but ...

I've been watching this team since we drafted Heath Shuler (all bad years) and this is the best team we've assembled, period. There has never been this much talent on both sides of the ball and although this could just be my opinion, Zorn seems to have a better football mind than every head coach ...

Times aren't good right now. As a matter of fact, they haven't been good for as long as I can remember; but this is nothing new for the Redskins. Lest we forget the 'Skins went a little under 30 years between championship appearances. During those days, we bore witness to some of the worst Redskins ...

As Colin Cowherd has said; there are 4 components which makes for a successful franchise, and he is correct.


1. A good owner

2. A smart GM

3. A great coach

4. A good quarterback

We have none of that, hence the Redskins suck!

At least QB's can change, coaches can change, and GM's (well ...
