    WSJ: A Round of Boos for Snyder's Suit

    Can I root for both losing? WCP closes down and Snyder is forced to be a non-entity of the Skins for the next 10 years. Haven't read much of WCP over the years (don't read what I don't like, that includes Sally Jenkins as well) but the times I've read WCP and McKenna it seems that the whole...

    Mock Drafts Thread

    Have to trust Shanahan and the FO/scouts on this one. At least I have have faith than I did with Vinny. I'm not a fan of drafting a WR at #10 based on both Shanahan's and the Skins track record w/ WRs but if he's the guy on their board and they take him then I'll back him all the way and trust...

    First Annual BGO Draft Prediction Competition

    I'll be sending you an email probably day of the draft Neo. I have two more mocks to work on till I'm done with my 2011 mocks. So this is just the Skins pick through the 7 rounds right?

    Skinscast: What they should do, what they will do

    Also, don't count out Detroit to move up if Prince Amukamara is there at #10. They may want to jump up and snag him before Houston. I've also heard Miami as a possible team to may want to jump if Jones is there.

    Skinscast: What they should do, what they will do

    Very true. Both they and NE could use a DE. Chargers may want to trump NE is there was a player they really wanted. Chargers may also want to consider WR. Chargers have the ammo to move up 2 2nds, and 2 3rds.

    be honest now

    If you know me from my ES, BGO days and my blog you know that I'm generally optimistic about the Skins. I've worn the "homer" title with pride. That Said, I really think that this team will struggle for another season or two. I actually believe that Shanahan was sold a poor bill of goods from...

    Jones has injury issues based on his physical play. He's been injured every year at 'Bama and is coming off two broken limbs (broken hand in season, from foot discovered at combine). I personally don't like the Skins drafting for WR this early. for every Art Monk the Skins lately have had...

    Skinscast: What they should do, what they will do

    I did some number crunching for an article I did on my blog recently. http://walkingdeadmanblog.blogspot.com/2011/03/crunching-numbers-redskins-trade.html Here are some possible trade scenarios: #14. St. Louis Rams: I can see the Rams wanting to move up to #10. They've been looking for an elite...

    I feel that way about Cam Newton. I know many are high on Jones, but his injuries (broken hand, broken foot) concern me. Skins already have a talented WR that is never on the field b/c of injury. I also don't like drafting a WR in the 1st. It's about a 60% bust rate. Personally, if the Skins...

    Atogwe Move Does Not Threaten Draft or Franchise Future

    Many mocks have the Skins taking Jones at #10. If he's there, there are 2 teams that would love to trade up and grab him. 1 is the Rams at #14.... the other is the patriots at #17. Now we know the Pats have plenty of picks. I think it would be very likely for the Skins to fall back to #17 get...

    Atogwe Move Does Not Threaten Draft or Franchise Future

    Here's some quick pro and cons. Pros. Have already addressed the S position. As of now we finally have 2 FS and about 4 SS on the roster. The need to re-sign Reed Doughty has been eased and the need to find a S in the draft or FA can be significantly reduced. The facts are simple: Skins needed...

    Here's my first of the year. Another coming in mid-late march: Meaningless Mock Draft 1.0 1. Carolina Panthers: Da' Quan Bowers, DE, Clemson This is without a doubt a tough year to have the #1 overall pick. Frankly, it's hard to say that there is a definitive #1 overall pick since Andrew Luck...

    Rex to Start?

    I'd love to see the Skins sweep Dallas even if 'Poke fans would argue "yeah but we were only this record last year". Of course, I'd love to see the Skins win last week and every week but they're not too good about that. Skins lose and we move up a spot. Not really a big deal and frankly...

    Haynesworth inactive

    Haynesworth isn't a franchise player. He's a great player when he wants to be, but franchise.....no. Put him up against franchise players on other teams, he doesn't fit the bill. Perfect example.....the guy he was claiming to be Reggie White. Big Al is no Reggie White, not even close. Also...

    Big Al Suspended

    I thought they might be a little better than what we've seen. ie. more points, more sacks, more turnovers (like what we saw in he 1st 5 weeks or so). But I had the Skins at 8-8. Essentially the 2010 Skins are very much like the 2004 Skins. Trying to find an identity and figuring out who the...

    So what are you going to do about it?

    Actually, the game experience has gotten better at FedEx, They have done a better job with staff, the jumbotron is now awesome. You have more opportunities to catch out of town scores. In that aspect the Skins have done better. The food and drinks are still too expensive. The Skins show way too...

    Haynesworth inactive

    I thank Dan Snyder. He brought Haynesworth here. Then he brought Shanahan here who wanted to run a 3-4, something Haynesworth didn't want to do.

    Props

    I think we're pretty numb to this by now. Why be angry this happens pretty frequently to the Skins, especially against the Giants. Did anybody here REALLY think the Skins were going to win today? No not talking about the "I'm a fan we'll win support the team today attitude". I mean serious...
