(Merged) AWESOME Hogs article!!!

I really enjoyed this article. But I have a few comments and questions.

First thing I would like to comment on is how just about everyone here said that Gibbs would not tolerate a player such as Moss and his antics, yet there was the story in this article which the Hogs stated that Gibbs and Co. would look the other way when it comes to Riggo. Kinda how Tice runs things out in Minnasota(sp) with Moss.

From the article:

"They glanced in the back and there was a groggy Riggins, lying on his back, his pants pulled down, peeing straight into the air all over himself. Gibbs and the poor coaching staff always looked the other way with Riggo, as long as he was coherent on Sundays, but this seemed a little much ... and yet the coaching staff never did anything. "They always looked the other way with him," said May. "It just wasn't Gibbs's nature to constantly battle with a player like that."

Next, I think that not only should Snyder read this article, but so should Janson, Samules, Thomas, Dockery and whoever else wants to play on our o-line. I think that they hit the nail on the head with about how they not only were teammates but also buddies on and off the field.

My question is this about FedEx Field, it seems that Snyder may be taking more heat than deserved. Correct me if I am wrong but didnt Jack Kent Cooke have the stadium built? Wasnt the name of the stadium Jack Kent Cooke Stadium? All Snyder did was rename the stadium to FedEx Field.

Maybe the Redskins are under the curse of Jack Kent Cooke!!!

8588, I think you're dead on about FedEx. If anything, Snyder has made it better since he took over.

I think the Hogs are frustrated that things aren't what they once were for the Skins. They can't hold their head up high the way they once could when saying "We're Redskins"

But even if the Skins had been more successful this past decade it would be close to impossible to replicate the camraderie the Hogs had. They're all kidding themselves if they think if they were playing in this era of free agency some of them wouldn't be taking offers elsewhere

I agree Smootsmack, but maybe we're getting some "core" players that want to stay even with free agency money calling them. Smoot has said that he wants to stay a Redskin but now sounds like he's already gone. Coach Gibbs sounds like they'll still try to keep him around. Lavar said he wants to be Redskin till the end and probably will be (although they did pay him to stick around).
But now we've got players like Antonio Pierce that is totally enthusiastic about re-signing with the Skins and says he wants to stay a Skin. Samuels is talking about restructuring his contract and says he wants to stay a Skin too!!
That's the kind of players we need on this team and once we start winning again (hopefully next season) we'll have more players wanting to be Skins!!!
