Fans and media alike have been questioning the team's direction since the Redskins...

HogWire: Entering the Lions Den
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...
THN Weekly with Andre Carter: Week 3
Never in recent memory has a victory garnered so much negative publicity from the fans and local media. The Redskins 9-7 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday was not what the fans or players envisioned before it began, but in the NFL, you take a win any way you can get it. That...
Hog Blog with Phillip Daniels - Week 3
Yes, Yes, Yes... we got our first victory of the season. It wasn't pretty and it wasn't a blowout, but it was still a good win for the burgundy and gold. I'm happy because I have been around a long time and know that no matter how you win in this league, you better enjoy...

THN Weekly with Andre Carter: Week 2
Due to a 23-17 loss to the New York Giants this past Sunday, the Redskins have started their 2009 season the same way they started 2008; they return home from the Meadowlands without a victory, and hoping to gain ground in the conference with an NFC matchup at home the following week...
HogBlog with Phillip Daniels: Week 2
I can officially say that I hate playing in New York. I've only won once there and that stadium has not been good to us since I came to the Skins five years ago. I really thought the game could have gone either way and we had opportunities to win it. Taking nothing from the Giants...
Hog Wire - Week 1
2009 Roster Review:
The Washington Redskins quarterback situation remains the same; it's Jason Campbell as the starter in Jim Zorn's West Coast offense. This is Campbell's second season in the offense and the first time he hasn't had to learn a new one in the off...
Six Pack: Season Wish List
The nice, if obvious, thing about the start of the NFL season is that nothing is written
except this sentence
and the next one
and all of the following ones. OK, some things are written but insofar as the NFL is concerned, the slate is blank. We, as fans, can feel legitimate...
THN Weekly with Andre Carter: Week 1
Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come. Football has been back for over a month but now the records and standings count.

Hog Blogs with Phillip Daniels
I would assume that everyone would like to know about my injury and how it happened last year so I would like to start there because it has been well documented that I injured my knee on the first play of practice at last year's training camp. While rushing the passer from my DE...

If anyone knows adversity, it's Reed Doughty...
Happy Birthday, Sean
Sean Taylor would have been 26 today. Running a Washington Redskins web site, there's not a day that goes by that one doesn't think about what a tragedy Sean's murder was, and from so many different angles.
First and foremost, it robbed a family of its beloved son,...
How To Circumvent Cap Hell
The most quoted paragraph on Washington Redskins message boards and any other discussions about the Redskins leading up to the start of Free Agency was from the Washington Post.
It read:
"The Redskins still have one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL. They could...
Redskins, Dockery Reunite
The Redskins have addressed another need by bringing back the missing original member of "The Dirtbags."
Left guard Derrick Dockery will sign a five-year, $26.5 deal to return to the Redskins. The contract should be a happy medium between the reported three-year, $12...
Wild Day for Redskins As Free Agency Begins
The Redskins have done it again. This time, it's record setting.

The team doled out a 7-year, $100...
Time To Put On The Thinking Cap

THN Weekly with Andre Carter: Week 16
It's official. The Redskins have now reached the lowest point of their season. A 20-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday deflated almost any hope the team had of reaching the 2008 postseason.
