The first edition of Thick Skin'd asked the Hogs Haven community to get in touch with their inner Dan Snyders and used the Redskins caps space to get the one player that they covet beyond reason. My choice was pretty damn unsexy compared to some of the options available. But the smooth talking Steve Shoup knocked it out of the park with the first, and most recommended, comment of the post explaining why Alex Mack should be flying in on Redskins One March 11th.
It only took 39 minutes into the discussion for someone to claim the rules had been violated(by me) and by the end of the day we had hit them all. I'm hoping next week's edition we can get it down to 3 rules violated, no hurt fee-fees, and world peace.
My personal favorite suggestions were from Bill-In-Bangkok, who made a very compelling case for breaking the Snyder bank for TE Jimmy Graham. This was exactly the type of player I had in mind for this discussion, #1 FA at his position, big name, and likely not going to happen.
The other suggestion came from Skins Fan 77, who as usual, was dreaming about being a fan of a well run organization. He wants Danny Boy to spend his money where it will do the most good for the team, coaching. Clearly he cheated and was gaming the system by actually using logic and reason, but since this is the first edition of Thick Skin'd, we will allow it.
Wade Wilson – defensive coordinator, 34 defense of specialty.
Top 10 defense almost every year recently in every city he coaches in.
I win…
See you next weekPlease excuse typos and extraneous text – I use speech to text software that does not work well on this site.
Redskins fans deserve better from their owner – find ways to let him know –
1. a new playing surface, how about this? http://www.dessosports.com/hybrid-grass
2. http://www.hogshaven.com/2014/1/19/5322032/13-ways-to-improve-fedex-field-experience-from-a-fan-and-owner
Now I will open up the floor to any suggestions for weekly topics, anything else you want to see this week, or ways to improve Hogs Haven(No SkinsNJ, that doesn't mean complain about mock drafts, draft profiles, or the sun rising in the East). Until next week rec buddies!
Roll Call!
