Speaking of odd fans, how many do we have?

Hogettes.

Chief Z.

Super Steve (haven't seen him lately though)

Redskins Pocahontus (I love seeing her ;) )

Any others?

Pretty sure as a kid I remember guys that dressed up as monks at RFK for Art Monk. Could be wrong though.

Also remember seeing 2 women dressed in burgundy and gold nun outfits at both RFK and FedEx. Don't think I've seen them much recently though.

 
So with his recovery over with and his comeback season completed with mixed results, Griffin III decided to get back to the basics, recently completing a rigorous six-day workout with quarterbacks guru Terry Shea in Arizona.

Shea – a former NFL offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach – has in recent years trained several first-round draft picks, including Matthew Stafford and Sam Bradford. Also included in that list is his previous work with Griffin III, whom Shea worked with extensively prior to the Redskins selecting the Heisman Trophy Award winner out of Baylor in 2012.

In an interview with ESPN980, Shea said the Griffin III he saw recently in Arizona mirrored the player who took the league by storm as a rookie, leading Washington to the NFC East title.

“He looked healthy,” Shea said of Griffin III. “He got back to the fundaments of playing the position, which are so important for any quarterback, and when it came time for him to leave, I was really excited for him because he is really in a good state, I believe.”

It's a redskins.com article so take it with a grain of salt. Glad to see he spent 6 days working with Shea, though.

No, because Griffin couldn't do any throwing-type activities until much later in the offseason. He hasn't worked with Griffin since 2012, before the draft.

Not trying to re-post but this interview should be listened to everyone here. Shea goes into detail on his workouts with Griffin this year and how he couldn't work with him last year. I guarantee you will be smiling afterwords.

 
My FIL met and hung out with "Chief Z" last week for 2 hours. Said he was really nice and shared a lot of stories.

Oh and from this Cowboys fan to you all, congratulations on winning the Super Bowl already.

Have you convinced Jerrah to trade Romo and a 1st to move up to get Johnny Football yet?

 
Lots of mocks have Mosely falling to us at 34. I think he's a little overrated but he could definitely be the BPA there at a position of need.

I saw the monks at Fed Ex a few years ago - or perhaps a new generation of "monks". It was a really hot day and they looked miserable but the robes and stuff were awesome. Should have taken a pic.

Try this approach: "The Redskins traded a bunch of draft picks for a flashy young QB and we gotta gotta gotta have one too!"

I don't want to get into a pissing match in your thread but trust me, RGIII doesn't scare me one bit. He'll never ever survive full 16 game season much less a playoff run.

I want J .Football because unlike Romo, he's proven he can be clutch. He's the drafted version of Romo. I see him as a better R.Wilson and not anything like RGME.

Wiithout Romo, who will lead the Cowboys to 8-8 and the dramatic miss of the playoffs at the end of each season?
And yet your team is looking up at the awful Cowboys in the standings nearly each and every year.

Again, congrats on going from the basement of the worst division in all of football to winning the Super Bowl.

OK, I can see you're just a kid so I'll go easy on you. It's obvious you started watching the NFL in 2013, and don't know about 2012.

 
It's fun watching myopic Cowboy fan trying to take on realistic Redskin fan in the Redskin thread.

BTW, with Romo's cap number the next two years, which the Cowboys can't avoid, taking Manziel would be the biggest waste of resources at one position possibly ever.

You and I have been taking (good natured jabs) at each other for the better part of a decade so I can't be a kid. I remember 2012. I also remember the countless other seasons where you were behind those awful cowboys. Way more times then not. The Cowboys are horrendous and until Jer- Ruh hires a GM there is no hope in sight so don't have me mistaken with a boisterous fan.

I like the Skins schedule. Nothing is ever a given but a 4-0 start is definitely a possibility. Happy they have 3 Primetime games but wish the Eagles game was one of them.

 
http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/7168/washington-redskins-schedule-analysis

Breakdown: The Washington Redskins have a chance to get off to a good start with winnable games in the first two weeks before starting a potentially difficult stretch. They need to generate momentum in those first two games or another tough season could await. The final seven games after the bye week will be interesting as well. Tampa Bay could be a surprise team and that's followed by road trips against NFC heavy weight San Francisco and AFC contender Indianapolis. That means we'll go from a Colin Kaepernick vs. Robert Griffin III storyline to anAndrew Luck vs. Griffin one. And Griffin is not a fan of talking about such matchups. But at least the Redskins get to finish with consecutive home games. And the fact that they play all their prime-time games in the first eight weeks followed by six 1 p.m. games in the final eight weeks suggests the NFL isn't confident a hot start will equal a strong finish. Then again, they can always flex. But most teams coming off a 3-13 season do not get so many prime-time matchups. Griffin's potential re-emergence and an offense that could be high-scoring will make for entertaining viewing.

Complaint department: One thing that jumps out right away is playing Seattle on a Monday night followed by a West coast trip to Arizona. The Monday night games always take a little more out of players, as does a long trip. They also have four road trips in five games (with a bye mixed in), starting with a Monday night game in Dallas. And if you want to stretch it further, it's five road games out of seven. The brutal part is playing at San Francisco and then at Indianapolis. But the other road games are winnable. However, those two home games in that stretch, against Tampa Bay and St. Louis, could be tricky. Those teams might be better than people think.

Early success a key: Despite the complaint department, there's a lot to like about this schedule for Washington, starting with the opening two weeks and the closing two weeks. A chance for a good start and a strong finish. And that's especially true in the division. Washington did not win a game in the NFC East a year ago, but the Redskins have two divisional games in the first four weeks and then finish the year with three straight. Washington can not only get off to a good start overall, but also re-establish itself in the NFC East. And if they need to make up ground late, they should have that ability. While Philadelphia will enter the season as the divisional favorite, it's still hard to say how big the gap is between the Eagles and everyone else. Last season the Eagles rode a good start to a division title. The Redskins will have a chance for that good start. They must take advantage.

Strength of schedule: The Redskins have the NFC East's most difficult schedule – and the NFL's 17th hardest -- based on their opponents' .490 winning percentage.

The last Philly game with the TBD start time is a Saturday. Could be a night game. Either way it will be a national game. I don't think they're doing many Saturday games.

How on earth do the Skins have the most difficult schedule in the NFC East?

Schedule works like this:

6 games within division

4 games vs NFC Division (West this year)

4 games vs AFC Division (South this year)

Those 14 games are the same for all 4 teams in our division. The ONLY difference involves you not playing yourself. But the NFC East is tight enough and random enough that little tidbit is really irrelevant.

So, that leaves 2 games. The 4th place finisher in our division (us) plays the 4th place finishers from the 2 NFC divisions not involved in the rest of our schedule, in this case thats the Vikes and the Bucs. While we get those teams, the rest of the divison gets the Pack, Bears, Lions, Falcons, Panthers, and Saints. We clearly caught the softest part of this.

I just don't get how we supposedly have the hardest schedule. We've got the easiest schedule from a system that is designed to give the worst division finisher the easiest schedule the following year.

 
REGULAR SEASON:DATEOPPONENT (NETWORK)TIME (ET)Sunday, Sept. 7at Houston Texans (FOX)1 p.m.Sunday, Sept. 14vs. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (CBS)1 p.m.Sunday, Sept. 21at Philadelphia Eagles (FOX)1 p.m.Thursday, Sept. 25vs. NEW YORK GIANTS (CBS) #8:25 p.m.Monday, Oct. 6vs. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (ESPN) #8:30 p.m.Sunday, Oct. 12at Arizona Cardinals (FOX)4:25 p.m.*Sunday, Oct. 19vs. TENNESSEE TITANS (CBS)1 p.m.*Monday, Oct. 27at Dallas Cowboys (ESPN) #8:30 p.m.Sunday, Nov. 2at Minnesota Vikings (FOX)1 p.m.*Sunday, Nov. 9BYESunday, Nov. 16vs. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (FOX)1 p.m.*Sunday, Nov. 23at San Francisco 49ers (FOX) !4:25 p.m.*Sunday, Nov. 30at Indianapolis Colts (FOX)1 p.m.*Sunday, Dec. 7vs. ST. LOUIS RAMS (FOX)1 p.m.*Sunday, Dec. 14at New York Giants (FOX)1 p.m.*Saturday, Dec. 20vs. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (TBD) ^TBD^Sunday, Dec. 28vs. DALLAS COWBOYS (FOX)1 p.m.** Subject to flexible scheduling

Let's not forget how many of these games looked like wins last year. We ended up 3-13. This is not a good team until they prove otherwise.

If they end up 8-8, after the season I'd look back and be pretty damn happy they improved 5 games. And I'd be a little more hopeful heading into the next season.
