Rypien expects big things this year

[redskins26]

Rypien joined Gibbs, Joe Theismann, Clinton Portis and others noteworthy alumni at FedExField during the Redskins' seven-game surge to playoffs last season.

Despite mostly living in Seattle during his post-playing days, Rypien was disappointed to see his Redskins lose to the Seahawks in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

"Last year was so close," he said with a grin. "If No. 10 (Robert Griffin III) doesn't go down, I think we have a good chance of bringing back another Lombardi Trophy."

Twenty-two years ago, Rypien was named the Super Bowl XXVI MVP after throwing 18-for-33 for 292 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Good to see his name associated with the franchise again. Don't know if there was ever any strain in the relationship or if it was merely absence that created the perception of distance between the Skins and him. Love how Allen is bringing all these alums back into the fold.

Yeah, I always thought Ryp was a Seattle guy now ... or at least a college football guy, and didn't really have a pro team anymore. It's nice that he still cares about this team and seem excited for our future. And especially nice that he was rooting for us against the Seahawks.

Eff the Seahawks.
