Peppi Zellner
David Terrell
Ifayeni Ohalete
John Simon (was the 2nd string HB that day)
Bruce Smith
Regan Upshaw

Hue Jackson called the plays, George Edwards was the defensive coordinator..

It's so much better to be a Redskins fan now!

Reminds me of a classic Peppi vs. Bruce Smith anecdote.

Bruce Smith and Peppi Zellner had to be separated at practice one time after the two got into a heated argument -- that nearly turned physical. Zellner at one point in practice said something to Smith along the lines of, "Why don't you just get your sack, so you can finally retire."

Smith then fired back by asking Zellner how many sacks he has had in his career, which is obviously nearly 200 less than Smith's total. Smith also said Zellner could put his best years together and Smith's worst years are still more impressive. Zellner then hit below the belt by insisting the only reason Smith is still on the roster is because he is social with owner Snyder. Smith fired back by agreeing with the younger player, then saying all he had to do is place one call to that same owner and Zellner would be kyboshed as a 'Skin. At that point, Zellner told Mr. Sacks he's ready to take on the old man. Smith wanted to oblige and teammates jumped in.

Thanks Paintrain. I thought I'd never get to bring up Peppi on the Warpath!

I have to say I side with Peppi on this one, I was never a big B. Smith fan especially at the end. It's so obvious he was just after the record, more power to him, but he just came off selfish to me.

taped the nfl game of the week,just got finished watching,nfl films rocks,the camera angles and commentary cant be beat,portis got hammered that game,he took some viscous shots,no wonder he wasnt up to par for the seattle game,and the camera angle on taylors fumble recovery was great,I never realized he scooped the ball up with one hand

I'm thinking I'm the only person here who used a VCR to record the 'Skins day.

I drew pictures and then copied them to cave walls.

Showing games of the week from last year (vs. Eagles & playoff game vs. Bucs), an NFL Films production Hail to the Redskins, a game of the week from 2003, other programming as well. NFL Net does a lot of replays so if you don't catch it early in the day they will loop the programming.. Set your TIVOs!

Read "Fifth Quarter" by Jennifer Allen, George's daughter. She talks about what life was like growing up in the George Allen household. Interesting insights......days with the Rams and Skins and Allen's relationship with Jack Kent Cooke........

Jennifer does some interviews from time to time on the NFL Network also.
