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

A peaceful Joe Gibbs amnesia has settled over Redskins Park on these steamy August days of training camp. The recent past of the perennially disappointing Redskins is conveniently misplaced in the collective memory banks of those who watch.

Long scoring passes go uncontested in routine drills. Simulated pressure on the quarterback is provided by gentlemanly 60-year-olds. Contact scrimmages are always a zero-sum game. A bad play by the offense always implies a good play by the defense, and vice versa, so no net evaluation of the whole team is ever possible. So, almost every Redskins act prompts cheers.
