Bruce Allen on McNabb extension, Haynesworth and uniforms

[MTK]

Redskins General Manager Bruce Allen said today the team hasn't begun contract extensions talks with quarterback Donovan McNabb.

"We know there will be a time and place to address that, but right now we're focused on trying to have as good a minicamp we can, a healthy minicamp ... there will be plenty of time to have those discussions," Allen said during an appearance on ESPN 980.

Gold pants!!!!!

I wonder how long Kevin Sheehan pestered Allen over Haynesworth during the interview.

I'm guessing we're going to see 70s style throwbacks, George Allen style

That is my favorite uniform.
They talked about it on NFL network the other night. They asked the panel in attendance which teams throwbacks was their favorite and I was surprised the majority of the groups favorite was the Redskins uniform with the gold pants^(above).

Appropriately.


I'd love it. This is far more likely than the Spear set.

I always use this on Madden.

You could sense the fact he was searching. Allen's response continues to be the same as it's been all along. Eventually they'll get the message.

As for the uniforms, I really don't care what type they wear, I just want to win football games. Now if a particular type uniform will help us do that, then I'll have a preferance.

I'm sure McNabbs contract will get done in due time.

love the gold pants WITH the stripe!

why do we refer to those pants as gold? they arent. i'm sure there's a proper name for the color, but i'd call it slightly orangish yellow - like the text font for "warpath" on the top of the site here.

the only time ive ever seen true gold in a redskins uniform were those throwbacks with the spear. i don't thing burgundy and gold is any more accurate a description of our uniform colors than maroon and black... well, the maroon part atleast. not sure where zorn got black from.

Good nugget of info here regarding McNabb's contract from Twitter:

SalaryCap 101 McNabb can't execute a new contract with Redskins until mid-June, 12 months from last executed contract.

[Dlyne8r]

Yeah but if McNabb has to wear that facemask then we might see some problems. What the hell is that suppose to protect anyway?

I like the gold pants but I am partial to the current uniform that we won Super Bowls in.
