hogs haven daily slop gfx medium Saturday Slop: Goldberg Predicts ‘Pain’ For Redskins Opponents; Can the Redskins Upset the Saints?

20 questions in 20 days: #1 Is RG3 the answer?

The NFL is a quarterback league and for the last 20 years or so the Redskins have been bringing a knife to a gunfight. They haven’t even enjoyed an extended period of competence at the most important position in sports. They have settled for a good season here, a nice stretch of games there. They gave up a record haul of high draft picks to try to solve that problem and they drafted Robert Griffin III. Can he be The Guy?

And although all eight of those rookies — Jordan Bernstine, Kirk Cousins, Richard Crawford, Adam Gettis, Robert Griffin III, Josh LeRibeus, Alfred Morris and Keenan Robinson — received significant playing time in the Redskins’ four preseason games this year, each one of them is yet to taste the thrill of a regular-season football game.

Redskins email report: Catching up with Chris Samuels | WashingtonExaminer.com
Former Redskins offensive tackle Chris Samuels was one of the best draft picks in the Dan Snyder era, a third overall pick who went on to make six Pro Bowls. Certainly  the Pro Bowl often is about popularity, but there’s little doubt Samuels had a solid career from 2000-2009. So it was fun catching up with him last month for a recent story on transitioning from the NFL to the real world.

RG3 can’t wait for Luck to sign first – Rich Tandler’s Real Redskins
As we wait for Robert Griffin III to sign his rookie contract, a lot of interested folks are saying that once Andrew Lucksigns or once more players drafted in the top eight in the draft sign, RG3’s deal will fall into line. But there is a problem with that line of thinking. Griffin can’t wait for Luck to sign. It looks like Luck won’t sign until at least a week after Griffin is scheduled to report to training camp….
