Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Check out Redskins.com for an interesting interview with Theisman. He predicts the Skins will win 10 games or more this season.

That's nice to hear. It'd be nicer if it wasn't coming from the same guy who said Darrell Green won't make the Hall of Fame

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

I loved watching Joey T, but to be honest, he's an idiot. I remember him saying we hadn't seen the last of Lawrence Phillips too. And if Im not mistaken, I think he said we would have 9 or 10 wins last year. Joe's not the brightest guy in the world.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Joe is a fan of the Skins and of Joe Gibbs.

He's a homer, nothing wrong with that. We have enough haters out there.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

True enough, I live in Charlotte and on a local radio show before the season last year he said the same thing about the Panthers. Joe is all about keeping himself in front of the camera these days.

I dont want to hijack the thread but when did Joe make such an idiotic statement about Darrell Green?

Joe has been wrong just like any other announcer that makes predictions, but he's far from an idiot. I am not looking for a JoeyT inteligence debate here...he's my childhood idol and i just felt the need to defend him. Idiot is a little rough...

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

I agree Celts, Joey T. is one of my all time favorites too.

Maybe I'm just a hopeless homer but I've always liked him in the booth.

To be honest who here thinks Darrell Green is a shoe-in for a spot on the HOF? I don't!

Ditto.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Listen, Im as big a Skins fan as there is, Im sure we are all in the same boat together, we love our team very very passionately. But the fact is, Joey T is one of the worst analysts out there. Here's my all time favorite Joey T quote:

"Nobody in the game of football should be called a genius. A genius is somebody like Norman Einstein."

The guy was great to watch as a player, but he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, that's all Im saying. For you Joey T lovers, I don't mean anything by it, I just call a spade a spade.

Oh, and I for one think Darrell Green should be a shoe in for the HOF.

Cornerback, more than any other (non-O-line) position, is a statless job. INT's are a big deal, but the great ones don't get balls thrown their way. Darrell was such a player. In fact, even Peter King (that prick) says "And look at Washington, 3-1 in Super Bowls in a 10-year run but just two Hall members -- John Riggins and Joe Gibbs. I'd buy the argument that Grimm, Joe Jacoby, Matt Millen and [B]Darrell Green[/B] all deserve their day before our committee."

Darrell played beyondthe numbers. He impacted the gameplans of his opponents. Until Art gets in, there are no shoe-ins - but Darrell comes close.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Thanks for the link TAFKAS...Darrell Green is one of the greatest corners in the history of the NFL. Name 3 who were better. You can't.

Hall of Fame no doubt. 1st ballot

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

After what's happened with Monk nothing would surprise me with the HOF's decision regarding Green.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Unfortunately that's true. Monk is typical of the treatment any Redskins player seems to get.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Listening to Joe is like listening to Madden for me. uh duh,,,uh duh... If they want to run out the clock here, I suggest a running play, uh duh...

But I still love em both.

Who I dont like as an analyst. Riggo. God he sucks. What an arrogant prick.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

I happen to think Joey T. does a pretty good job on ESPN. He is opinionated, but usually offers some good insights. Most former football players turned announcers have made their share of mistakes too.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Joey T is a homer and I love having a Skins homer on tv because there are way too many loud mouth Cowboys on the tube, although 1 Cowboy is admittedly too many for my liking. That said, 10 wins is reasonable.

On the HOF debate, I love Art Monk but I don't think he's HOF caliber. Leaving him out is almost akin to Roger Maris not making the Baseball HOF. True Monk was the 1st wideout to break the 100 catch barrier, and he did have the consecutive game catch and most catches records but he had a much greater impact on the Skins than he did on the league. Unfortunately, his professionalism, dedication and consistency while being traits that contributed mightily to the Skins success during his tenure he was always solid and rarely spectacular.

Darrell Green, on the other hand, was an athletic marvel, a small corner who played effectively at the age of 40. He had a huge impact on games, just off the top of my head the Bears playoff game comes to mind when DG went back to receive the punt, hurt himself hurdling one guy and still had more than enough speed to take it the distance all while holding his side. Or the Minnesota playoff game he clinched by knocking down the pass in the end zone. He is in, he's got the Pro Bowls and he was amongst the top at his position for a long time.

I do think we are woefully under-represented in the HOF, three SB appearances and only 2 guys in, but I think Monk was very good but just short of HOF level. But if James Lofton is in, Monk should probably get a bust as well. I don't know that Peter King is the "gatekeeper" of the HOF but I do know that Snyder hasn't helped the perception that we have around the league and that may play a role in how even our HOF candidates are perceived.

Great points Memphisskin.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

the skins dominance of the nfl during the 80's and early 90's has a huge resemblanse(sp) to the current patriots team. i , right now, can't see more than tom brady and bill belicheck making the hall of fame.

Me too Matty.............I've liked him as an announcer too..............

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

i think 10 wins is optimistic, not reasonable.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

10 win is reasonable if our defense plays like it did last year and the offense can score 1 td a game more than last year.

thats reasonable.

you are assuming that the rest of the league stays exactly the same. and the nfc is a weaker half again. Assuming all of that remains exactly the same. And also assuming that our schedule is exactly the same. Then what you said is correct.

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Joe T may make some stupid statements, but I think he's going to make a 360° turn around this year....

Re: Joe T. Prediction for this season
 

Mattyk72 you are right on! They should put Joe T's EGO in Canton. With that all said I believe if we sustain no major injuries we can win 10-11 games this yr.. I have a bad feeling Dallas is gonna be team to beat in our div.. But we get in as one of the wild-card teams.

No offseason "paper Lombardi" trophies = good season for us. Just wait!
