Last 25 exclusive Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, and NFL Draft news and articles brought to you by www.thehogs.net. en-us http://www.thehogs.net/content http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1220 Here are some of the interesting numbers and statistics from the Washington Redskins' hard-fought 27-17 victory over the Denver Broncos. 388 - Total yards for the Redskins offense in their best whistle-to-whistle outing of the season. 269 - Total yards of offense for the Broncos... in the first half alone! Unfortunately for the Broncos, they would manage just 36 yards in the second half, for a total of 305 yards. 193 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on a 17 for 26 day. Ironically, th... Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1219 Heading into a game in which the topic of discussion should center around the return of former Redskin Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey this Sunday at FedEx Field, the conversation in the DC Metro area this week centers around key injuries in a season that continues to go south. Quarterback Jason Campbell suffered a chest contusion while offensive tackle Mike Williams is out 2-4 weeks with a torn ankle ligament and safety Chris Horton was placed on injured reserve with a damaged ligament in ... Thu, 12 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1218 Here are some of the more interesting numbers and stats from the Washington Redskins 31-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday: 196 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, going 15 of 22. He may not have been all world out there, but he wasn't the problem either. 166 - Yards rushing for Michael Turner, on 18 carries. He had a few late carries that brought down his average slightly, but at one point, he was 13/146 yards (2 TD) - over 11 yards per carry. 70 - Yards rushing for Ladell Betts... Mon, 9 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1217 When times become increasingly tougher and the end is not near, it is then that a person, or in this case, a team, determines their true character and desire to be successful. That is the situation facing the Washington Redskins heading into Week 9 of the 2009 season. Having gone through the lighter portion of their schedule (their first six opponents not yet garnering a win at the time of the contests), the team began its streak of difficult opponents before heading into their bye week. ... Thu, 5 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1216 Footprints One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, t... Wed, 4 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1215 Here is a look at the numbers from the Washington Redskins 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night: 308 - Total yards for the Redskins, 46 more than Philadelphia's 262. Considering the Eagles' dominance on the scoreboard, it's a stat that almost always means that there is a big turnover number involved somewhere. 284 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on 29 of 43 attempts. He has other numbers in this list that were unfortunately more telling on the game's result. 156 - Y... Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1213 With their loss to yet another winless team, this time to the then 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs, the Redskins may have hit rock bottom. At least that's how the majority of fans and media, local and national, view things. But not Andre Carter, who has been on both sides of the fence, having played both for successful playoff teams and teams that were amongst the bottom of the league. While in San Francisco, Carter was on some very inexperienced, rebuilding teams that underperformed but for the pa... Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1212 Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the Titanic. Yes we have a new play caller and with that comes new wrinkles but none of this means anything if guys don't go out and execute, which is exactly how we can get things turned around. We have a lot of talent on our team and it seems like our talent has not come together and produced like it is suppose to. Why you ask? Well I like to look at this like a chain. A chain has a bunch of links in... Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1210 Here is a look back at some of the interesting, and again painful, numbers and statistics from the Redskins 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday: 265 - Total yards for the paltry Redskins offense - this against the NFL's 32nd-ranked defense (going into the game). 109 - Yards receiving for Dwayne Bowe on 6 receptions, he was their main target. 89 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, after going 9 of 16. Of course those are the numbers for the first half only, because the performa... Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1209 Everything starts at the top, at the the top of the Washington Redskins pecking order you have the owner and Mr Vinny Cerrato. These two are solely responsible for what the fans see on the gridiron on Sundays, they have the final say on all that is or will be burgundy and gold. They are the Redskins' Chiefs The roster is surprisingly built with 45.2 percent of the roster being players that the team drafted. Counting 2009 supplemental draft pick Jeremy Jarmon the Redskins have 24 players they ... Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1208 The Washington Redskins Charitable Organization and Diageo have announced the start of the Redskins Safeties Tackle for Safety program, an initiative that donates $100 dollars for each tackle made by a Redskins Safety this year. The $100 donation is part of the Redskins' Responsibility is a Team Sport initiative, a program that promotes responsibility by the team and the community. The program is overseen by Ken Harvey, the Pro Bowl linebacker and current Redskins Director of R... Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1207 For the third time this season, the Redskins gave an opponent their first victory of the season. The difference between Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers and the previous two is that the Redskins led at halftime for the first time all season and squandered a 15-point lead in the third quarter. Arguably the biggest momentum changing play of the game for both teams was the controversial botched fair catch. Redskins returnman Antwaan Randle El waved his arms to signal for a fair catch, b... Thu, 15 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1206 "Boys, there ain't no free lunches in this country. And don't go spending your whole life commiserating that you got the raw deals. You've got to say 'I think that if I keep working at this and want it bad enough I can have it.' It's called perseverance." - Lee Iacocca "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." - Thomas Alva Edison. That is exactly what our football team will do this week. We will try to get back on track... Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1205 Here's a look at some of the interesting and often painful numbers and statistics from the Redskins 20-17 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday: 198 - Total yards of offense for the Redskins. Ugh. Coming into the game, Carolina was allowing almost that on the ground ever game. 145 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell; he was 17 of 23. 74 - Yards total rushing for the Skins. 66 - Percent in red zone efficiency - starting on the Panthers' 1 and on the 12 definitely made the statistic v... Mon, 12 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1204 Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato have made an unforeseen move by bringing in offensive consultant Sherman Lewis to provide another set of eyes. Running back Clinton Portis and fullback Mike Sellers had to be separated and restrained, although no punches were thrown. The argument stemmed from Portis' request to have blocking tight end Todd Yoder replace Sellers in the backfield against the Buccaneers last week. This is how the (2-2) Washington Redskins, prepared to travel to Bank of America Stadium t... Sun, 11 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1203 Well, once again we at the Six Pack have been fortunate enough to get our hands on/steal (wink*) another entry from Vinny Cerrato's meticulously kept diary. One thing we have come to learn is that while you might question his football knowledge, you absolutely can NOT question his expertise -- you might even call it an obsession -- when it comes to Miley Cyrus. He knows things about her that no one else knows and some things that only she should (legally) know which is weird, granted, but hey: t... Sat, 10 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1202 One of the prevailing pieces of information to come out of Sunday's 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was that, despite being booed on their way to the locker room at the beginning of halftime by the hometown crowd, the Redskins did not take an emotional “Rah! Rah!” approach, but rather a calm, focused and strategic approach on trying to achieve what they weren't able to accomplish in the first half. All this, while trailing 10-0 to an 0-3 team that wasn't even supposed to have a lead ... Thu, 8 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1201 First off, sorry about not blogging last week. I had so much business stuff to take care of and had no time. Now I'm back this week and I have a few things that I would like to talk about. Over the last week, a lot has happened and now it's time to catch up on a few things. I know everyone would like to forget the Lion's game. I know I would but the loss is on our schedule and will be there for the whole year. People always say you must move on and that is true in a sense but losing to the Li... Wed, 7 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1200 Here are some of the numbers from the Redskins narrow, hard-fought 16-13 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 277 - Total net yards for the Washington Redskins offense. 229 - Total net yards for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense. 170 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, who was 12 of 22, with 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions 106 - Yards passing for the Bucs Josh Johnson in his 1st start; the Redskin defense did a great job of not letting the young quarterback get going. 98 - Yards... Sun, 4 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1198 What follows is an answer to the chorus of complaints from the legions of fans tired of being distracted by “sensible” analysis, backed by “facts” and “knowledge.” If you seek shelter from the twin storms that are “reality” and “logic,” then this is your port of call. This week at the Six Pack we have an exclusive, our first ever. We were actually able to get our hands on the running and extremely (in fact often explicitly and frighteningly) detailed diary kept by none other than Vinny Cerrat... Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1199 The folks in Washington must have decided that the city of Detroit needed another D.C. Bailout, as the Redskins provided the Lions with their first regular season win since Dec. 23, 2007. Because the team was on the road it appears they receive word of the bailout after the game had started. The Redskins' defense held the Lions to less than 20 yards after the opening kickoff. The Redskins started their first possession at their own 24 yard line and moved to Lions one. Then came the bailout. Det... Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1197 There is no way to sugarcoat it. Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions, who had lost every regular season game since Week 17 in 2007, is arguably the most undesirable in recent memory. Fans and media alike have been questioning the team's direction since the Redskins 9-7 win over the St. Louis Rams in Week 2 and the second guessing escalated this week. With all of the external distractions that can quickly infiltrate a locker room, defensive end Andre Carter says that, as a veteran lead... Thu, 1 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1196 Here is a look at some of the interesting, and often painful numbers from the Redskins' 19-14 loss to the Detroit Lions: 644 - Days since the Detroit Lions last won a game. That's 92 weeks, or 15,456 hours, or 927,360 minutes, or 55,641,600 seconds - in other words - an awfully long time. 55,641,600 also seems to be about the number of times that someone on the TV said, 'people in Detroit are happy,' on Sunday night. 340 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell; he had two touchdown passes, and ... Sun, 27 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1195 What follows is an answer to the chorus of complaints from the legions of fans tired of being distracted by "sensible" analysis, backed by "facts" and "knowledge." If you seek shelter from the twin storms that are "reality" and "logic," then this is your port of call. - I was standing in line at a Target (buying a new iron -- the old one spit rust-colored water onto a white dress shirt, which sort of defeats the purpose) when the cashier and a customer behind me in line started asking me abou... Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1194 The (1-1) Washington Redskins travel to Ford Field to face the (0-2) Detroit Lions on Sunday; kickoff is at 1 p.m. The Detroit Lions looked like they would get into the win column last week with a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Quarterback Matthew Stafford threw his first NFL touchdown pass and the running game was productive. The Lions offense, leading 10-7 at halftime, came out in the third quarter and ran five plays, including two sacks and a fumble. Detroit went on to give up 2... Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:00:00 CDT
