Griffin Not Doing Private Workouts A Sign?

People tell me not to ‘make anything out of’ Robert Griffin III not doing any private follow-up workouts for teams.

Why not?

I don’t care who Griffin turns down for private workouts, there are only two teams in the running – the Washington Redskins and the Indianapolis Colts. The Redskins have stated that they didn’t need a private workout anyway, and had already seen everything they needed to see. Smart. Read the rest of this entry »

When Pigs Fly?

We at theHogs.net never miss an opportunity to make a bad pun on a good pig cliche, so I can’t help but think on the day that the city of Indianapolis let one of the greatest football players EVER escape, that I should look outside for flying pigs.

Subsequently I could also skate my way to a hell that must have frozen over if the mighty Peyton Manning had actually been relieved of his Colts’ duties.

And yet I watched it happen. Read the rest of this entry »

Andrew Luck in a Redskins uniform

For those who like to dream, here is the opportunity to see Andrew Luck in a Redskins uniform. While fans would prefer to see Luck don the number 12 over John Beck, in all likelihood he will be sporting that jersey in central Indiana next season.

This Photoshop design comes from Chris Creamer’s SportLogos.net’s forums. This is far and away the best web site for sports logos and uniforms. Folks can see Luck in Colts and Dolphins uniforms in amazing detail in this thread.

Here is the link to see the Luck photos.

Redskins Release Linebacker Marcus Washington

On Friday the Redskins announced the release of nine-year veteran linebacker Marcus Washington.

Washington joined the Redskins in 2004 and instantly became a fan favorite and locker room prescence with his infectious smile and neverending energy on the field.

Washington had instant success with the Redskins, earning a Pro Bowl bid in his first season with the team in 2004.

The past couple of seasons have not been easy for Washington. Arguably one of the best free agent signings made in recent memory, injuries have slowed down the 31 year-old, taking away his speed and effectiveness he had become known for in D.C.

The move reportedly frees up approximately $4 million in salary cap space. The Redskins main priorities involve offensive line and defensive line but now may include linebacker considering that when Washington was at the top of his game, he was arguable a Top 5 outside linebacker.

Washington entered the NFL as a 2nd round draft pick in 2000 out of Auburn by the Indianapolis Colts.

Redskins Continue With Winter Additions, Sign Rayner and Dorsey

The Redskins have signed more special teams competition in the form of journeyman kicker Dave Rayner and Canadian Football League star kick returner Dominique Dorsey.

Rayner was originally drafted by the Indianapolis Colts in 2005 but had his most productive season with the Green Bay Packers in 2006, scoring 109 points.

Dorsey won the CFL’s Outstanding Special Teams Player award, along with several other pieces of hardware in a 2008 season that saw him lead the CFL with 2,892 all-purpose yards despite missing five games with an ankle injury.

Arguably his most memorable play came from a 129-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown in 2007 in his first game with the Toronto Argonauts.
