I went to Desmond Howard's 1st preseason game vs. the vikes in 92, the season after we won our last bowl. It was also Rypien's 1st game after a long holdout & he was booed heavily in a 30-0 loss (we beat them in reg season & playoffs). Granted, he held out & was overpaid, but he had just been super bowl mvp!
Howard had 1 catch & no boos, despite having held out just as long.
QBs in DC have always been booed, I remember it happening to Joe T, but its the timing & energy that matters. If you're going to boo, at least make as much noise when the other team has the ball. Fedex got quiet for our D & it was a close game.
