http://riggosrag.com/ - A Washington Redskins Blog, the best skins blog we could muster.
As you probably know, the Rag is a part of the Fan-Sided network of blogs . And in exciting news for the FSB, we have partnered with Yardbarker to be the sole provider of their NFL previews. You can find all 32 previews (including mine) here . I can tell you this, some of our division rivals (I won’t say which one, but it rhymes with Jeff Feagles) have delusions of grandeur.
And as ...

If you are like me, you’ve been playing Madden for many of the last 24 hours. However, you may be waiting for the weekend or you are in a bad relationship or something and you don’t have Madden yet and you might be wondering whether it is worth spending $65 on yet another Madden reprise. My answer? Not really. For the 5th or 6th year in a row EA has produced a mediocre product ...

Sure there are 3 preseason games left, but it is never too early to take some guesses at the final 53:
QBs (carrying 3)- Campbell and Collins are locks. Colt Brennan has demonstrated enough talent that he is not being released either.
RBs (carrying 5)-Portis, Betts, Sellers, and Cartwright are locks. Marcus Mason or Nemo Broughton will be the 5th depending on whether we decide to carry ...

The man, the machine, the monster, Jason La Canfora posted in his blog that Erasmus James has been activated and that Laron Landry is practicing . And Matt at the official blog also reports Devin Thomas is not only practicing but has been impressive .
There isn’t a ton of stuff to say about this other than “thank god.” Thomas needs to be on that field to learn the ...

The Redskins reported today that Joe Bugel was excused from the team to fly to Arizona to be with his daughter who has bone cancer. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bugel family, and I’m sure I can speak for Redskins fans everywhere that this is true for us all. I hope I’m wrong, but the fact that the team says he’ll be gone a few days makes it sound like there is ...

Sorry for the slow wrap-up. Undoubtedly you went elsewhere for one while I was at the beach with my family. So rather than describe the game, I’ll just hit you with some random thoughts:
- Another big mo game. I’ll keep saying it every time even if we go 5-0 in the preseason, pre-season means nothing. The old Gibbs teams almost never had a good year in preseason the years we ...

Just a preseason game, but hey, its football, and we’ve been told the starters will be out there an extra series or two. Obviously, in his short time in DC, Coach Zorn has discovered the Rag, because just as a blegged in my Wednesday post , JZ has seen fit to get Portis into action . This probably has more to do with Rock Cartwright getting hurt than anything, but I’ll be happy to ...

Matt Mosely did a nice little interview of Jason Taylor over at ESPN . I won’t talk about it too much. I’ll let you read it. But there is one little detail was that Mosely said that Jason Taylor used to motivate himself in his first training camp with a card that said, “1. Make the team. 2. Become a starter. 3. Win!” Mosely says that Taylor has a new card that has ...

Just a quick post to say we have a winner in the Redskins Rides contest. His name is Mark (other details held back for his privacy). Thanks for all the people who entered and went to the Redskins Rides site. Even if you didn’t win, please consider going to the event. It should be lots of fun, and it is for Eastern Motors and Redskins charities.
For anyone who missed the earlier ...

Prepared now for a list of tasteless oneliners!
Now we know what was in Jimmy Johnson’s hair!
You know the difference between Joe Montana and Troy Aikman? He really did want to suck it! Now I know how he got all those sacks. No offensive lineman wanted to touch him. Terrell Owens isn’t the only person to “do a dance” on the Cowboy’s star.
As we mentioned in our previous post, Redskins Rides is coming up on Sunday, August 10th at Redskins Park. Come see the cars that Redskins players drive or show off your ride. There will be tons of great cars old and new as well as live music and a DJ. The Redskins cheerleaders will be there in the…ahem…flesh. And some Redskins players will be on hand to sign ...

OK, let’s just say before I get too carried away that this game doesn’t mean much in the long run. The Colts clearly played the 2nd half like they didn’t really care if they won or lost, and we were blitzing which is rare in preseason. But hey, the goal of the preseason is to keep everyone healthy and build some momentum.
And that we did! 30-16 is a nice healthy score ...

If there was ever a team or a coach that needed a little quick success in the preseason it is JZ and the Skins. And wow! Recovery of an onside kick, two first downs and a TD to Randle El! Nice start. We’ll talk more about the team and the game as it goes, but it was nice to see the offense come out crisp.
And as I type this, Shawn Springs just stuffed Joseph Addai. Like I said, ...

Today Redskins fans the world over proved yet again that we are the best fans in the world. And don’t take my word for it, ESPN anchors Trey Wingo and Tom Jackson agreed that there was more burgundy and gold in the crowd than the colors any other team could muster for a hall of fame induction.
I can’t tell you what it means to me to have seen this today. As a Skins fan who is ...

Let me be the first to say, John,
welcome to the Washington Redskins and thank you for
the Super Bowl ring. Think about it, John. With Laron Landry playing free safety, you could play the hard hitting, 8th man in the box role that you love. You could hit with impunity and not even worry about who gets behind you. Frankly, I don’t know if you have the speed to play cover 2 anymore. But I kno
It’s great to be a Redskins fan this weekend. In case you’ve been living in a cave, Darryl Green and Art Monk are getting enshrined together this weekend. I was close to road tripping to Canton myself but things didn’t quite pan out so I shall have to settle on the television like most of you.
In the days to come, we’ll have more on this event. Until then, ...
