Pour Some Sugar On Me - Who Are the Washington Redskins?
2009-09-22 09:00:00 More photos » by Alex Brandon - AP Coach Jim Zorn simply must do a better job. From my seat at FedEx, he had the worst day of anyone on the Redskins sideline this past Sunday. It seems a few (hundred thousand) people agree with me on this. Browse more photos » People have come to expect unbridled optimism from me, both in this space and in general. And while I am far from beaten down, the fact is that I am alarmed. Jim Zorn had a bad day. The failure to convert red zone opportunities into touchdowns against the Rams was bad all by itself. But the fact that this has become a trend straddling two seasons in this offense is alarming. I am there. Where I am NOT though, is in a pissed off place after a win. You only get 16 chances to win each year (unless you make the playoffs of course), and regardless of the opponent, kneeling out the clock for the win...

Hogs Haven - The Fastest Growing Washington Redskins Community in the World
2009-09-17 19:30:00 *This statement has been confirmed by multiple sources, Florio-style (which is to say I polled my wife, my 2-year old son, and the leftover spaghetti in the fridge.) We are proud to say that, in addition to going over 1 million visitors, Hogs Haven membership is cruising toward 1,500, and rising fast. With all the new folks coming through and checking us out, we thought it would be a good idea to set a season-opening tone to kind of spell out what it is we all do here and what we think it is important people know. 1) First and foremost, this is a fan-based community. We are in this because we love rooting for the Redskins and following our favorite team. Being a fan is about lovin', not hatin'. Criticism of the team and the moves it makes are welcome and necessary, but we try to refrain from hating on Skins here. You do that and you pretty much have identified yourself as a Cowgirls or Eagles fan. 2) The community theme is very important. Once you sign in as a member, we encourage...

Washington Redskins stun the world, upset Dallas 26-24
2008-09-30 15:41:00 On a weekend of local football upsets, the Washington Redskins scored the most celebrated one of all, stunning the Dallas Cowboys by a 26-24 count. The upset win marked the Redskins' third straight victory under head coach Jim Zorn and its most remarkable one, coming in at over 11 point underdogs.In large measure, Washington's resurgence has come about through the awakening of quarterback Jason Campbell. After a disturbing end to the postseason, Campbell has shined, going 20 for 31 with two touchdown passes at the Cowboys. Zorn's West Coast offense still left room for a running attack with Clinton Portis getting 121 yards. The Skins attack was also remarkably disciplined, not giving up a turnover for the fourth straight game.On the other side, the Redskins defense held Dallas' rushing game to 44 yards, while qb Tony Romo generated impressive statistics only during a last-ditch comeback effort that fell short. The only major lowlight was the absence of defensive end Jason Taylor ...

Washington Redskins face long odds in Dallas showdown
2008-09-28 19:54:00 Despite running off two straight wins in hard-fought fashion, the Washington Redskins face long odds in week four's encounter at the Dallas Cowboys. The NFC East leaders have run off three straight dominant wins to become the consensus best NFL team to date, standing as 11 point favorites against Washington in Texas Stadium.Aside from the Redskins facing the prospect of a seemingly unbeatable dvision foe, they also have to make the adjustments to cope with star defensive end Jason Taylor. The former Miami Dolphins superstar was lost by injury for an indeterminate length of time, ending his consecutive game streak in the process.Not to repeat the obvious but Washington will need to place at its best to have any realistic hope of a late afternoon win. Start time is 4:15 p.m. EDT on WTTG/FOX/5 & WTEM/980 radio._________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-___________________________...-

Washington Redskins face resurgent Arizona squad
2008-09-21 13:08:00 Coming out of week two with their first 2008 season victory in hand, the Washington Redskins are set to face a suddenly resurgent Arizona Cardinals squad. The Cardinals come in as an old Rams flashback squad, led by starting quarterback Kurt Warner en route to a 2-0 start.On the hometown side, the Redskins offense finally woke up in last Sunday's comeback over the New Orleans Saints. Jason Campbell showed the promise expected of him in the West Coast offense last week, especially in connections to Santana Moss. Combined with the expected impressive defensive outing, another strong Campbell performance should be enough for a second straight Washington win.Kickoff time is 1 p.m. Sunday on WTTG/FOX/5 & WTEM/980 radio._________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-______________________________.-..

Washington Redskins seek to jump start offense vs. Saints
2008-09-14 16:18:00 The Washington Redskins are looking to generate some kind of legitimate offense for its home opener Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Just ten days ago, the offense opened the regular season at the New York Giants in the same impotent condition that it left behind the preseason. The offensive line remains a point of concern with even quarterback Jason Campbell's grasp of the new West Coast system now being questioned.New head coach Jim Zorn came under severe criticism after the abortive primetime opener, especially for poor time management during the 'Skins comeback effort. Zorn will need to recover his bearings fast for week two to deal with a high-powered New Orleans team that won its own opener against Tampa Bay. Start time for Sunday's game is 1 p.m. EDT on Fox network (WTTG/5), WTEM/980 radio and its sister Redskins affiliated stations.______________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_______________________________-_____________________...

NFL KICKOFF WEEKEND - REDSKINS v. GIANTS TODAY
2008-09-04 19:40:00 WHAT TO LOOK FOR ? NFL KICKOFF 2008 WEEKENDSUPER STARTERS: There are never any guarantees in the NFL, but there are trends. And they start as early as Kickoff Weekend. History indicates that the best way for a team to start its drive towards a possible Super Bowl championship is to win in Week 1.The 42 Super Bowl winners have a 34-7-1 record in the Kickoff Weekend games of their title seasons. However, as the Super Bowl XLII champion New York Giants proved, a loss on Kickoff Weekend can still lead to a championship season.Since 1978, when the NFL went to the 16-game schedule, and excluding the abbreviated season of 1982, teams that are victorious on Kickoff Weekend are more than twice as likely to reach the playoffs than losers of an opening game:Of the 426 teams which won openers?225 went to the playoffs (130 won division titles).Of the 426 teams which lost openers?99 went to the playoffs (55 won division titles).In 2007, nine of the 12 playoff teams ?

Mr. Taylor Goes to Washington
2008-07-23 15:48:00 Woodland Hills High School?s own Jason Taylor is now a member of the Washington Redskins after being traded from the Miami Dolphins for a 2nd round draft pick in 2009 and a 6th round pick in 2010. Personally, I?m excited that I?ll be able to see the Pittsburgher in action as I haven?t watched too many Dolphins games over the years. Actually, I probably won?t watch many Redskins games either, but I?ll see highlights on local television and hear about the team on area radio. I hope that he has 15+ sacks and returns to the Pro Bowl. If the Redskins turn out to be 1-15, I?d be fine with that too.There seems to be some mixed reactions about the trade. Overall, I think most Redskins fans are excited about adding an established pass rusher, but there is some concern about whether giving up a 2nd round pick is too much. In addition, The Washington Post?s Mike Wise writes that "the Redskins genuinely have to worry where Taylor's heart is in regard to football."However, I feel like mos...

How good are Your Washington Redskins?
2008-05-12 21:45:00 I'm done with Law School year uno, so here I am, back, returning to regular treatment in this space. All apologies (but for serious, I was busy) for my absence. The loooooong offseason drags on. And on. And on. Content is light today, which I hadn't anticipated seeing as how I've been gone since the middle of last week. But really there isn't much of interest happening. Perhaps that's best; no news means no one has a hurt hamstring. As Redskins 360 notes, ESPN finally got their act together and released their first top-to-bottom NFL ranking of the season. I find these exercises especially useless as predictors, though don't formulate that opinion on reliance of data I'm unwilling to sort out. I just happen to think preseason rankings are, by necessity, overwhelmingly speculative. Of course since I don't actually do any real reporting, speculation is really all we have here at Hogs Haven, so don't interpret my skepticism on the product as reluctance to speculate. Spec...

Steelers vs. Redskins 2008
2008-03-18 12:06:00 Since the Pittsburgh Steelers will face the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field during the 2008 NFL season, I thought I would contact the Redskins to see if there were any group ticket sales. Between the number of transplanted Pittsburghers I know in the DC area, the number of friends and family who would travel from Pittsburgh and beyond to attend a Steelers game and the few friends that I have who are actually Redskins fans, I figured that I could easily find enough people to qualify for a group. So I called the Redskins and asked if they had group tickets available. They did. Great success! So here is what the group package for 25 people entails:- All you can eat- All you can drink (pop and/or alcohol)- Pregame field passes- Box or suite seats (I couldn?t remember what the sales manager told me)All of this for just $800! What an amazing deal! Oh wait, the group deal is $800 per person or a grand total of $20000. In that case, I think I?ll pass. The Redskins representative...

Redskins promote Cerrato, Gregg Williams screwed?
2008-01-23 13:17:00 The Washington Redskins promoted Vinny Cerrato to the new position of executive vice president/football operations Tuesday, an ominous sign for the head coaching prospects of Gregg Williams. Cerrato, owner Dan Snyder's closest ally in the organization, reportedly does not get along all that well with Williams. With other reports that former New York Giants head coach Jim Fassel is emerging as a main candidate for the head coach position, the further ascendancy of Cerrato is leading to intense speculation that fan favorite prospect Williams will not get the head coaching position.If online reaction indicates anything at all, the Redskins fandom is absolutely enraged by the Cerrato promotion and potential Fassel hire. Though my reaction is not as emotional, my own belief is a roughly shared one. With Bill Cowher not interested, hiring any other outsider over Williams would be a disruptive, nonsensical maneuver. washington redskins, gregg williams, vinny cerrato, jim fasselRelevant li...

Snyder rumored in talks for WTEM, WTNT, WWRC

SportsTalk 980), WTNT 570 and WWRC 1260. WTEM currently offers a competing sports talk format against Snyder's own Redskins Radio, one that would likely be consolidated or merged by any purchase.More importantly from my standpoint, the purchase would likely consolidate the radio broadcast rights to many local & regional teams under one ownership umbrella. Clear Channel Washington now holds the D.C. radio rights to the Washington Wizards, Washington Mystics, Baltimore Orioles, five collegiate teams (the Georgetown Hoyas, George Mason Patriots, Virginia Cavaliers, American Eagles and Notre Dame Fighting Irish) and Westwood One's NFL football & NCAA basketball coverage. ----Redskins Radio (WWXX/94.3, WWXT/92.7 & WXTR/730) already holds the local radio broadcast rights to the Washington Redskins, Virginia Tech Ho...

Joe Gibbs resigns as Washington Redskins head coach
2008-01-08 15:10:00 Joe Gibbs has resigned as head coach and team president of the Washington Redskins, reports Associated Press. He had seemed noncommittal and outright unenthusiastic at times when asked about his future at Monday's end of season press conference. Despite the outward signs though, Gibbs' resignation still comes as a shocker, coming just days after he had returned the Redskins to the postseason off a four game winning streak. My initial suspicion is that outside family issues are prompting this departure but another press conference by Gibbs later this afternoon may provide a better indication. Gibbs' second tenure as head coach obviously did not go as well as the first one but he'll always get credit for the way he led the 'Skins through the tragedy of the murder of Sean Taylor. It was in such times of crisis that Gibbs excelled as a genuine leader of men. To say the least, Joe Gibbs will be missed here in the Washington, D.C. area.----Relevant links: Washington Post, AP via Wash...

Your Washington Redskins are playoff bound
2007-12-31 17:33:00 In one of the most consequential games I've ever had the pleasure of watching for Your Washington Redskins we emerged victorious over a hated division rival 26-7 though the game was possibly more one-sided than the score revealed. Although all the players on the field had #21 on their helmets, a nice touch by the NFL I'd like to add, the real honor to Taylor was the final score; we won, and we won by the gloriously coincedental spread of 21 points. It was enough to bring Chris Samuels to tears, per Chris Samuels (who I just saw interviewed on ESPN). [AOL Fanhouse found the quote.] Although we beat the Cowboys, we didn't need to. The Vikes valiantly came back against a 19-3 deficit to tie the game against the Broncos, who ultimately won in OT. The Bears saved us some drama by "drop"ing the Saints (well put) which hurt less than it normally would have, since Drew Brees is one of my favorite NFL players, perhaps my favorite non-Redskin.

Buffalo Bills at Washington Redskins: Open Game Thread
2007-12-02 15:16:00 0 at 0 Kickoff: 1PM (CBS) Game Preview :: Hogs Haven Another week, another game. Right? Not this week. Things are very, very different this week. The Washington Redskins are hurting emotionally and will likely be supremely motivated. Our Buffalo Bills have made another QB switch, with rookie Trent Edwards starting. This has the makings of a physical, emotional game. Here's the thing: Buffalo really, really needs this one if they're going to make the playoffs. So does Washington. It's going to be tough, but make no mistake: the Bills can win this game. Barring wacky Internet connectivity issues (as I experienced three weeks ago when the Bills were in Miami), I'll be live and active during the game, updating this thread with score, in-game and comment updates.

Sean Taylor | ESPN's Jeffri Chadiha On Sean Taylor
2007-11-27 20:16:00 Jeffri Chadiha wrote what I consider to be a classic article on this massive trajedy, the murder of Sean Taylor. Birth of daughter gave new meaning to Taylor's lifeBy Jeffri ChadihaThere are many details to be sorted out in the shooting death of Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor, but this much we do know: This was a man whose life appeared to be changing for the better.That's the only thought that kept going through my mind after hearing Taylor had died early Tuesday morning, a day after being shot by an intruder in his South Florida home. This wasn't the same immature kid who spent his first two seasons baffling Redskins management with poor decision making. This was a young father, a hard-hitting defender fresh off a Pro Bowl season, a maturing 24-year-old who finally understood what it took to be a professional.Now there certainly are plenty of people who will say that Taylor's death is about more than just football, and there is no question about that. But what can't...
