Giants Vs. Redskins: Five Questions With 'Hogs Haven'
We haven't done a 'Five Questions' segment with a writer from a rival team for the past few weeks, but this week we return that feature to its rightful place in our Thursday lineup. Kevin Ewoldt from Hogs Haven has answered some of our questions to help us get ready for Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins, and we appreciate that.
The Q&A is after the jump. By the way, the graphic you see at the top of this post came from a Big Blue View reader who has volunteered to provide us with some occasional artwork. Our artist has largely been a 'lurker' who goes by the screen name 'Moro Crater.' Hope you the enjoy the post, and the effort to brighten the page just a touch.
Big Blue View: Given that this will be another losing season in Washington is there any reason to believe this franchise is moving forward, or does it seem like the Redskins are still simply spinning their wheels?
Hogs Haven: There is a lot to like with what the Redskins are doing right now. Last draft they turned six draft picks into 12, and so far, nine of them are contributing at a high level right now (Hankerson and Jarvis Jenkins on IR look very promising and another WR is on practice squad). For the first time in twenty years, the Redskins are building a strong, young, core group of guys. A lot of these players were team captains so leadership has been a focal point bringing in players (Bowen, Cofield, Atogwe, etc). The Redskins record is simply not good, but a lot of those losses are a result of poor QB play. When the QB position is addressed, this team will be in the playoff hunt New Years' weekend next year...mark my words.
Big Blue View: Can you see the Redskins doing anything other than taking a quarterback with their first-round selection in the draft this coming April?
Hogs Haven: I'd be shocked if a QB was not taken. I had the chance to see Matt Barkley play and I can't see Shanahan taking anyone but him. If for some reason some one trades up ahead and takes him (or whoever we have pinned for a top 5 pick), I could see the Redskins trading back again and hoarding more picks. More picks is always a good thing.
Big Blue View: We talked about Barry Cofield earlier this season. Now that you have seen him play nose tackle for almost a full season what are your thoughts on that experiment? His numbers would seem to indicate it has not gone well.
Hogs Haven: Barry Cofield is easily the best free agent acquisition the Redskins have had since London Fletcher in 2007. Most Nose Tackles don't have numbers, but he's a large reason the Redskins have 34 sacks. Last week was the first week the Redskins got shut out in the department, but his leadership and ability to stuff the middle has been a great success. Kudous to Jim Haslett. All 3-4 defenses MUST have a solid NT. Last year Ma'ake Kemoeatu was a huge failure, which resulted in the Redskins ranking bottom 5 in defenses in almost every category. This year Redskins D ranks in the teens across the board. Cofield does lead the NFL in batted down balls.
Big Blue View: The most impressive Washington Redskins player this season has been ....?
Hogs Haven: Certainly Roy Helu jumps out. He's the first Redskins to rookie to rush for 100+ yards in his first three starts. London Fletcher though should win most impressive. He is the heart and soul of our team, and the fact at age 36 he's never missed a game AND leads in the NFL in tackles with 134 is simply incredible. The Redskins offense ranks 19th in Time of Possession, so it's not like he's racking up those numbers from being out there all game. He's simply that good.
Big Blue View: Obviously, you would like your team to win the division but that is not going to happen. Is it easier to stomach seeing the Giants win the division, or the Dallas Cowboys?
Hogs Haven: Redskins fans would root for the Taliban if they were playing the Cowboys...no one here ever wants to see Dallas win, so that's an easy question. The Giants are the least-hated team in the NFC East (from my standpoint) although Antrel Rolle is doing everything he can to change that (is he your DHall?) Eagles are obviously very obnoxious and Dallas is well...Dallas. The worst.

Awwww. I didn't see my favorite question
Which Giant player would you love on your team?
Well
That’s because I asked him that one earlier this year, so I let it pass the second time around.

London Fletcher. i think Orakpo’s a bit overrated and what we have is better than him anyway

I'd dump Danny Ware for Helu every day and twice on Sunday
I wouldn’t mind Kerrigan, he’s big enough for a 4-3 end. Heck, I’d take the Cofield back in a heartbeat. Normally I wouldn’t take him, but Hall’s better than some of the dreck we’re dragging out there like Blackmon and Martin at CB
I would dump Ware for a tackling dummy and some Duct tape

part of the US genocide in the Phillippines
after the U.S. promised the Phillippines independence for siding with us against the Spanish in the Spanish-American war, the Filipinos were understandably upset to see the US renege on it and declare their country now our colonial possession.
The US, long a spreader of democracy around the world, responded to their efforts for independence by massacring about a million Filipinos.
The Moro Crater Massacre is just one of a long list of heinous massacres of unarmed peasants over the 15-year slaughter.

From a DC Giants fan
The hatred for the Cowboys is intense except for all the DC locals who root for the Cowboys. The Redskins were the last team in the NFL to desegregate. Their original owner-George Preston Marshall—was a flat out racist.
A lot of older African-Americans remembers this and root for the Cowboys or whoever else is playing against the ’skins. Kind of weird.
True
I lived in DC for a few years and this was a hot topic, people are FREE to root for whomever they want; but for some reason rooting to the Boys in the DC area is a sin, when in fact the biggest reason most people root for other teams in DC is because of what you stated above. People were turned by the racist owner and that has been passed from generation to generation.
Skins old owner being a flat out racist explains their nickname too.

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
To be fair...
The NFL was ALL segregated up till 1946, teams across the over the years followed slowly started segregating and the last happened to be the 1961 Redskins a total span of 15 years.
Not condoning it but that was a different time and only a few years separate the Redskins from many other teams in the league at the time.
What shocks me is how 50 years later, the black community is still holding on to a grudge that at all levels is just foolish. Of course we have seen similar patterns over the same time line, politically, where regardless of the facts the thinking doesn’t change. Shame really.

I wore white pants when I played..The coaches always checked to see who had..
Grass stains on their asses..and you had to run laps if you did..White pants are a tell-tale sign of how you played in the game..and if you had no stains on the front of your pants and only grass stains on the ass, you were in big trouble..

As did most of the media

I kept thinking didn’t Washington try this just a few years ago… has it ever worked for any team?
I’m fine with the predictions…you want a QB that’s confident. The Redskins lost their best OLineman, Cooley, and Tim Hightower all in basically a week….Grossman surely didn’t know that was going to happen and Skins were 3-1 at the time.

Thanks to Hogs Heaven
The Skins are my least hated NFC East team. Best man in my wedding is a Skins fan. Never had anything against them and their fans have always been classy, at least the ones I have met. The Cowgirls and Eagles, well, they are the antithesis of my Skins’ sentiment. Looking forward to a good game.
Back in the 80's and early 90's I hated the Skins
Dallas stunk and the Eagles….well I hated them a lot during the Buddy Ryan era. But since the Skins have been bad for so long and it’s been like 20 years since we played them in a meaningful game I went soft and started feeling sorry for Skins fans.

The feeling is mutual my friend.
Although your team’s ability to spank us for the last ten years has made it slightly more difficult, I have no problem rooting for you against Dallas and Philly. I love the fact that it was the Gmen that ended the Pats run at “perfection”. When you get into the playoffs make sure you knock out the Packers and remind the league what division you are from, the NFC BEAST.
I too am looking forward to an exciting, hard hitting game with no injuries.
Hail
It will be a good game..and I believe the Redskins are moving in the right direction..
Your guys just got hit with injuries..and don’t have the depth yet at key positions..but they’ll fix that and soon will once again become a huge pain in my ass..LOL !!
Oh and what do you think about Fat Albert making a huge contribution to the Bucs??? (NOT)..haha
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
At the start of the season
A lot of us were looking forward to seeing the New England and Minny games. Before we got our chance, both McNabb and Fat Al got cut. Oh well, at least we got some draft picks out of both of them albeit not exactly what we paid for them. Of course something is better than nothing.
Huge contribution indeed. So huge in fact he had one assisted tackle against the Jags. EPIC!! HA!
How was Justin Tryon doing before his injury? I liked him when he was here. Do you think he has a future with the Giants? Has Devin Thomas had any returns as of late?
Hail
Tryon didn't do too much and Devin has been somewhat a disappointment..You know
It’s tough when players who have done well on other teams do well and then teams go after and sign them..Devin on the other hand, has never shown his potential..So IMO they both have been busts..I think your team (Snyder)..Giving that whale such a huge contract with a huge chunk up front..set your team way back..but kudos to Shanahan for sending him packing ..They have faired way better without that jerk..You ever watch him on tape?..When he falls he can’t even get up..But I do feel the Skins are moving forward..Snyder seems to be keeping his wallet shut and letting Shanahan call the shots and Shanahan is no dope..I just hope for our sake they continue their resurgence after 4pm on Sunday LOL !!
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Devin never did turn the corner here. What a horid draft year that turned out ot be.
Yeah Fat Boy did like to fall asleep on the field.
Its been great flying under the radar this year by not having any major controversies, at least until Cheech and Chong got suspended. It was great watching the Eagles suffer the way we had in years past . Winning the off season then imploding as the season went on. May those days be gone forever!!
Anyhow, Dallas managed not to choke tonight so our game just got a little more interesting. Its been nice chatting with ya. Take it easy BBV.
glad to hear that BC is doing well in DC
and for the record….
I REALLY hope Little Kyle Shannahan doesn’t make Fewell his bitch….AGAIN.

I’m not blamming either one of them….this exercise is actually to blame Fewell.
Fire Fewell
It a sorry state of affairs when a public debate occurs about coverage on one play..
That tells me that the Fewell really stinks..If they were playing any good at all this Dez thing would never have become a debate with media prying responses from players..Every team is going to give up a big play..but in our case it happens all the time..every game..and if you go to a game you see total confusion..stuff you can’t see on TV..It’s ridiculous but I’ll give Corey credit for saying nothing..Funny no one brought up that deep overthrow to Austin that Ross blew coverage on..He released Austin into open territory with no help from anybody..Thank God it was Romo, because Eli would have thrown a strike..and that would have sealed our fate..

I'm shocked that Tommy boy
Has not stepped in and done something to fix this. Maybe telling Radio to dumb it down a little bit. Something anything Tommy can ya hear me.
Why is Tom Quinn still here? I loves me some Coach Clawfin.
Haha!!..dumb it down a little??
His defense is about as dumb as it can get..I’d rather TC ask him “What would you do with a brain if you had one?”
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
That would confuse Radio, too.
Just ask him what he’d do on a given play and then do the opposite of what he says.
Thats right.

"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I'm curious to see how the coaches approach this game
The Redskins are not a good team right now, and everybody knows it. Should the Giants come out and put in an “effort” like the last PHI game and manage to lose, one would have to think coaching changes are pretty likely.
Will the defense look like they have an idea what they are doing? 3 weeks in a row they’ve pushed the meter past “bad” and into “foolish” territory. They’ll get some slack against the Pack / Saints, but less against the Cowboys and none against the Redskins.
On offense I’m interested to see how the run / pass ratio goes, especially if they can go up a TD. Also given the events of the last couple weeks, how they split the carries between backs. Side note:
Bradshaws line for the season: 130 carries / 490 yards / 3.8 avg / 5 TD
Jacobs: 130 carries / 480 yards / 3.7 avg / 7 TD
What a weird path they took to wind up with both guys having almost identical lines…
It feels strange to be at this point in the season and be able to legitamitely argue
A) If the running game keeps looking like it did against the Cowboys, and the defense shows even moderate improvement… you could be looking at a very good team and a very tough out in the playoffs.
or B) They’ve been pretty much bad all year long with only a couple exceptions, and Eli Manning is the only reason this team isn’t about 1-12 right now.
Hope we don't take the Skins lightly
They are a bad offense but the D is pretty good

Please win this week
The Redskins used to be the team I least hated in the division, but after a decade living down here I find myself rooting for the Cowboys and – GASP!- Eagles whenever they play the Skins.
At least you have jorgensen on radio, he is really entertaining to listen too...all he
ever seems to want is for the Skins to show up. By the way, does the “Zabe” still have a radio show there?
Sonny is tolerable
Sam Huff is just kinda sad to listen to. Larry Michaels on play-by-play is decidedly meh.
Listening to Czabe as we speak. By far and away the only thing tolerable on DC sports radio.
From MG:
Told a defense designed as Webster and Rolle played it is a poorly-drawn-up scheme, Webster just looked around and at the ceiling, refusing to answer.
We take you back to earlier in the interview for the between-the-lines stuff.
“It doesn’t matter how (good) you are in the defense, you have to communicate well,” Webster said. “It doesn’t matter if you’re on the sidelines or on the field. Everybody needs to be in one accord.”
Okay, so everybody is to blame so far. Continue…
“We can’t have plays coming in and signals coming in that aren’t right,” he said.
Ahhh, that sounds like he’s pointing more toward the guys on the sideline with the headsets. But we’re not done yet…
“And once you get the signals, you have to translate to everybody else on the field,” Webster said. “Everybody has to be echoing whatever needs to be said. That’s going to help us take that out. As long as we don’t do that, we’re going to always stand the chance to make mistakes like that.”
Well, that seems to be Webster’s way of saying he didn’t get a check. From Rolle? From one of the linebackers? From Bryant? Who knows?

it's like a TV show
“who shot JR?”
or if you prefer movies:
“Who ordered the Code Red?!”
BUT…the reason it became such a big topic was b/c Rolle went on the radio and aired out Collinsworth…once that happened it was over.
Fire Fewell
I make alot of fun of Collingsworth..but
He was a pretty damn good receiver..So I hate players shitting on ex-players..Even Boley dissing Harry Carson..that pissed me off too when he did that last year..These punks that now are NFL players can’t wipe the butts of these stars that played the game..They weren’t even born most of them..
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
the truth is...
to the naked eye…it looks like a cover 2 and rolle got eaten up. Can’t blame Collinsworth.
MG even said it today in one of his write ups: Boley last minute was getting Antrel’s attention to check off the play. Which i believe was originally Cover 2…switched to a Cover 3
problem was, Webster was Jamming Dez at the line and never got the check…he was still playing Cover 2.
that’s exactly what happened IMO.
but Rolle…and I can understand why he was hot, wanted to clarify that it wasn’t on him. which it wasn’t. Instead of saying that it was a last minute check off…he said he was disguising Cover 2 as Cover 3. Rolle really wasn’t trying to blame anyone…even Fewell, but in the process it looked like he threw Webster under the bus.
Webster held his tongue when they asked him about the “scheme” of the play, but he said he was playing where he thought he was supposed to.
I’m calling it right now, if Fewell doesn’t pitch a shoutout the rest of the way, he’s gone at the end of the season. Playoffs or no playoffs.
and now i think i’m officially done w/ the topic.
Fire Fewell
I bet dollars to donuts that's exactly what happened.
And I agree about Fewell. The giants have finger on the pulse of the fans, and if they’re on the fence about him, I think we’d push them over.

Hey Tommy, I took it down because cntr was trolling along in it. All he wanted to do was argue (without any substance) everything I posted and all of my replies. You made some very good points in it and I thank you for your responses.
After the season when we see that the defense will have prevented this Giants team from being great I will post about a new DC that must bring in an entirely new scheme. GMs always look to see what other teams are doing and what works and what did not. The Texans are a great template for the Giants to follow but first they will have to find the right 3-4 DC.
Thanks for letting me know.
The topic has been done a couple of times around here but I for one and always interested in that debate. And judging by the amount of comments your post got, others are interested, too.
