He may not have been all world out there, but he wasn't the problem either. 166 - Yards rushing for Michael Turner, on 18 carries. He had a few late carries that brought down his average slightly, but at one point, he was 13/146 yards (2 TD) - over 11 yards per carry. 70 - Yards rushing for Ladell Betts...

That is the situation facing the Washington Redskins heading into Week 9 of the 2009 season. Having gone through the lighter portion of their schedule (their first six opponents not yet garnering a win at the time of the contests), the team began its streak of difficult opponents before heading into their bye week. ...

Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, t... Wed, 4 Nov 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1215 Here is a look at the numbers from the Washington Redskins 27-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night: 308 - Total yards for the Redskins, 46 more than Philadelphia's 262. Considering the Eagles' dominance on the scoreboard, it's a stat that almost always means that there is a big turnover number involved somewhere. 284 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, on 29 of 43 attempts. He has other numbers in this list that were unfortunately more telling on the game's result. 156 - Y... Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1213 With their loss to yet another winless team, this time to the then 0-5 Kansas City Chiefs, the Redskins may have hit rock bottom. At least that's how the majority of fans and media, local and national, view things. But not Andre Carter, who has been on both sides of the fence, having played both for successful playoff teams and teams that were amongst the bottom of the league. While in San Francisco, Carter was on some very inexperienced, rebuilding teams that underperformed but for the pa...

Yes we have a new play caller and with that comes new wrinkles but none of this means anything if guys don't go out and execute, which is exactly how we can get things turned around. We have a lot of talent on our team and it seems like our talent has not come together and produced like it is suppose to. Why you ask? Well I like to look at this like a chain. A chain has a bunch of links in... Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1210 Here is a look back at some of the interesting, and again painful, numbers and statistics from the Redskins 14-6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday: 265 - Total yards for the paltry Redskins offense - this against the NFL's 32nd-ranked defense (going into the game). 109 - Yards receiving for Dwayne Bowe on 6 receptions, he was their main target. 89 - Yards passing for Jason Campbell, after going 9 of 16. Of course those are the numbers for the first half only, because the performa... Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1209 Everything starts at the top, at the the top of the Washington Redskins pecking order you have the owner and Mr Vinny Cerrato. These two are solely responsible for what the fans see on the gridiron on Sundays, they have the final say on all that is or will be burgundy and gold. They are the Redskins' Chiefs The roster is surprisingly built with 45.2 percent of the roster being players that the team drafted. Counting 2009 supplemental draft pick Jeremy Jarmon the Redskins have 24 players they ... Sun, 18 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1208 The Washington Redskins Charitable Organization and Diageo have announced the start of the Redskins Safeties Tackle for Safety program, an initiative that donates $100 dollars for each tackle made by a Redskins Safety this year. The $100 donation is part of the Redskins' Responsibility is a Team Sport initiative, a program that promotes responsibility by the team and the community. The program is overseen by Ken Harvey, the Pro Bowl linebacker and current Redskins Director of R... Fri, 16 Oct 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1207 For the third time this season, the Redskins gave an opponent their first victory of the season. The difference between Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers and the previous two is that the Redskins led at halftime for the first time all season and squandered a 15-point lead in the third quarter. Arguably the biggest momentum changing play of the game for both teams was the controversial botched fair catch. Redskins returnman Antwaan Randle El waved his arms to signal for a fair catch, b...
