Hogs Haven Offseason Primer: Help Frame the Debate

by Sugar on Jan 11, 2010 3:32 PM EST in Redskins Previews

Kevin and I wanted to get the word out on our offseason plans. Thanks to the magic of Dan Snyder and his propensity to keep things exciting all year round, we will have no shortage of topics to discuss in the months ahead.

We thought we would provide a loose outline of our plan of attack as we navigate the world of the postseason, free agency, the draft, and all the juicy subplots that pop up in between. Our main goal is to continue to host the best Redskins debate on the interweb, and we know we can't do it without your help. To that end, here is what we are thinking:

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: Features/Pieces by Kevin and I will be the item(s) of the day.

Wednesday: We have not landed on the appropriate title for the bit yet, but we want Wednesday to prominently feature a FanPost on the front page. Kevin and I will promote a FanPost on Wednesdays that brings a good point, great analysis, a compelling debate topic, etc. Our community is most benefited when these kinds of discussions make their way to the forefront. During the season, it gets hard to push a lot to the front page because there is such a steady onslaught of news and happenings. But that won't be a problem for a while.
Please note: We will pick a FanPost from among the previous few days, so it doesn't have to just be posted on Wednesday to be considered.

Saturday/Sunday:

The weekends present more opportunities to push hot debates to the front page.

We encourage you all to use the "Rec" button this offseason more than you did during the regular season. Our decision will most certainly include the amount of rec's different FanPosts get as well as the ongoing commentary attached to each post.

In the last year, our experience with the FanPosts is that they are generally insightful, intelligent, and thought-provoking. As we move forward, we want to incorporate these more prominently into our weekly discussion so that at Hogs Haven we can honestly say we are framing the debate of the day for all Redskins fans.

P.S. This also frees up Wednesdays for Kevin to get his weekly colonic. Thank you all for your continued support and we look forward to a fun and exciting offseason.

Cheers and HTTR!

Ken and Kevin

Offseason Title

Can we just call this the Offseason of the Left Tackle (OLT)?

...and Right Guard, and Right Tackle

"It was one of those things where everyone in the building was suddenly excited again," Cerrato said. "And all the women in the building were the most excited. They couldn't believe we were getting the guy from "Dancing With the Stars."

And a future replacement at center

and servicable backups for all 5 positions…. ugh

by CarverM on Jan 11, 2010 4:12 PM EST up reply actions

Not true

We have all the backups…they were the starters this year

sigh

I'm not sure I want them as backups either

because that means they could potentially see playing time in our games. They have proven that this is not a good situation.

by CarverM on Jan 11, 2010 10:56 PM EST up reply actions

I think we could have played adequately

with only one of them in there at a time, but en masse it was the Keystone Cops meets the Three Stooges.

yea, i've been bad with these...

I’ll get these going again

by Kevin Ewoldt on Jan 11, 2010 5:06 PM EST up reply actions

Nice

I’m not saying do them everyday or whatever, I just never find some of the articles that you do.

Wednesdays

Shouldn’t Wednesdays be dedicated to Jason Campbell staying or going depending on how he is viewed as a QB.

Only if we stick to the rules:

Rule #1 – Only wild ass conjecture wholly unsupported by meaningful statistics allowed.

Rule #2 – See Rule #1.

HA! ROFL

My daily laugh has been achieved!, Thanks Scott

by dr WNC on Jan 11, 2010 4:54 PM EST up reply actions

In that case,

I’ll just take Wednesdays off from the site. I’ve heard LJP’s schtick too many times already.

well this offseason will be a refreshing change from the following:

1) Snyder is an a—hole of napoleonic proportions who is running this franchise into the ground on a scale akin to the Tunguska meteor crash

2) cerrato is not a FO, he’s not even a decent backdoor man

3) wtf are our coaches doing on
     a) offense
     b) defense
     c) special teams
     d) all of the above

4) I still hate the Cowboys (and just about everyone else in the NFC East)

5) Schadenfreude is no longer a way of life, there’s hope!

so we got that going for us! Looking forward to articles about the assembling of the new staff, player evaluations, the free agnecy market, and the draft.

I used to be disgusted, now I try to be amused....
