  1. A Historical Look at the Origins of Extremeskins

    I wore my Extremeskins t-shirt while watching the TB game. (Fits a bit tightly, 23ish years later.) Every time I see Greg McElroy calling a game, I think of AtlantaSkinsFan (if anyone doesn't remember, he provided empirical proof that McElroy was going to be the first coming of Jayden Daniels...

  2. 2023 Washington Roster Moves

    Here's a link to the Allen vs. Payne career stats that was posted earlier. Something that doesn't come up in these stats (but does if you look at them individually) is that Payne has 14 batted passes versus 4 for Allen (in slightly fewer games). Payne is really good at batting passes--not quite...

  3. BGO's Blind Pig - Episode 1 - Free Agency Preview

    That's only true if the incentives are "likely to be earned" (i.e., at least roughly, would have been earned based on the prior year's numbers). If the incentives are "not likely to be earned" then they don't count against the cap unless and until they're actually earned. (At least that's my...

  4. Front Office Hires - Love them or hate them?

    Smith is quite reasonably not ready to be a GM. Talent evaluation; seemingly absolutely yes. Other aspects of the job, seemingly not. On the other hand, we were obviously willing and able to be creative making up job titles so Marty/Martin could hop on the bus. And we/Rivera seemingly made no...

  5. Martin Mayhew Named GM

    That's great to hear. Marty Hurney coming in as GM/talent evaluator while Kyle Smith leaves and we take another step closer to becoming the respectable but mostly mediocre Washington Panthers: bad. Martin Mayhew as talent evaluator and Marty Hurney as a non-evil Bruce Allen business guy...

  6. Early sneak peek at the 2020 draft.

    I think we're in perfect position to trade down. I'm sure that some QB, whether Burrows or Tagavoila, will go number 1, and the other should also go top 4. And, while Chase Young seems incredibly promising, that's hardly a position of need for us, so he's more valuable to some other team than to...

  7. Skins Quotes 6/6/19: Jay Gruden

    I know you're mostly joking here, but what he meant (and he didn't misspeak, and it's not w/o a wee bit of interest) was: "Shaun Dion Hamilton--as with Samaje Perine, whom I mentioned earlier--also looks extremely impressive/improved/fast, in a noteworthy way."

  8. Burner’s Burning Questions: News, Grades, Evals, Questions, Regular Season, 2018

    Re: Burner's Burning Questions: News, Grades, Evals, Questions, Regular Season, 2018 I think part of Lanier vs. Brantley (beyond Lanier's injury and problematic run-defending) is that we have such a solid DL at this point that we can afford to go high-risk, high-reward with Brantley. If...

  9. A "Reasonable" Contract for Kirk Cousins ...

    As Shi no Tenshi suggests, I think the exclusive tag was the right choice. The non-exclusive tag would have allowed Kirk to negotiate with anyone he wanted and thereby gather proof that he "deserves" a larger contract with the Skins to resign long-term. And I think it's very unlikely a team...

  10. Bruce, Scot and the Front Office.

    I think Scot's sporting Skins gear, along with Bruce's comments at the Combine talking about what a great guy Scot is, shows that there's no acrimony between Scot and the team. I think his "family issues" pretty plainly encompass some personal difficulties--and little reason to believe it...

  12. Bleacher Report: Scot McCloughan Q&A: The Philosphy And Tools Of a Successful NFL GM

    That makes me think that at 21 (unless he's bluffing, but I don't think so, at least not in a deep sense) a) we're not going for Nkemdiche or Spence or some other boom/buster with iffy intangibles (not so much in an off-the-field sense, but in terms of effort/dedication on the field), and b)...

  13. John Keim: Redskins 2014 Offensive Line Rankings, Stats And Breakdown

    A) Boone, I appreciate your keeping our focus (and our disparaging comments) directed at the arguments made, not on the person making the argument. B) It is a perfectly reasonable and respectable argument to contend: here's some expert information suggesting, counterintuitively to some, and...

  14. Should BGO Stop Promoting Washington Post Redskins Content?

    I agree about the bizarrely negative (off-the-field, and at times on-the-field) coverage (bracketing the name issue, which is different, whatever one's position). But I'd be in favor of not having a blanket boycott of on-the-field coverage. If a story has merit/is objective, why not link to it...

  15. Draft Is Wide Open

    I agree w/ the general consensus, except: 1) We might draft a WR at 34--this is an extraordinary WR class, with a bunch of guys (including big guys, e.g., Benjamin) that just might fall to 34; 2) There is no G who, if available at 34, would be a steal, or even a particularly good deal; this is...
