rhyno Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I have had DTV for a couple of months now and watch total access all the time and overall like the show. However, I have noticed there has been almost no coverage on the skins. Do you think it is because Gibbs is keeping wraps on practices etc.. or is there some sor of bias there??

WallyG3 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I've noticed the same thing. I think it's just Coach trying to keep it low key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I've been watching nfl network since its beginning. They never cover the Skins. It seems like they cover AFC teams a lot more for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBChick Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Ditto what GSF said. I've been watching it from the start and there's usually very little talk about the skins, never seen a "skins cam" interview and usually the only skins replays ever shown are ones the skins lose on. Though over the summer Arrington was a guest host on "Total Access" for a week, though since it was still the off-season, was much substance as far as football talk went. I think more of it has to do with the fact the skins haven't really been something worth talking about lately and don't have many fair weather fans right now. The teams more highlighted seemed to be the teams that have done well in the recent past (Which is mainly AFC teams). But I think a good bit is also how much access the teams allow NFL Network to have. Jaguars, Jets, Cowboys, Tampa, and a few other seem to almost give NFL open door policies around their facilities, so you tend to see their players and coaches featured more.

Synergist Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Agreed, I've been watching NFL Total Access since the begining and we get NO NO NO NO coverage. It will be interesting to see how they cover us on the Monday nighter, Since they seem to do a lot of pregame coverage on thier monday shows.

illone Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Once we make a playoff run things will change. In the NFL, winning is everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chachie Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I've watched since Day 1. The Redskins are the LEAST mentioned, covered, reported-on, showcased, interviewed, or referenced team on NFL Network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get NFL Network, so I can't say, but you mean to tell me that Arizona gets more coverage than the 'skins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Coach Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Much of it has to do with how much access Gibbs lets them have, which I'm sure is as little as possible considering he even refused to do the halftime interview with the sideline reporter last week. Last year, Arrington was on all the time, even giving a tour of Redskins Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Originally posted by illone Once we make a playoff run things will change. In the NFL, winning is everything. I don't think that's the answer in this case. The Saints are on quite a bit. I've even seen the Cards on a few times. The teams that seem to be on the most to me are the Titans, Bucs, Jets, and Panthers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neophyte Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Anyone seen Gibbs on one of the NFL Network adds that the coaches have been doing? I have not seen him at all even though several of this years new coaches (Green, Mora and Coughlin) have been prominent in them. I am thinking Gibbs turned them down and is limiting things. Both for the sake of the team, his paranoia and his humility. I so like this guy. Just class top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeymag Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Its all about how much access the team gives NFL Network. In some cities reporters are miffed that NFL Network has greater access to personnel. I think the Skins limit everyone's access equally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskin1 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I did see a Skins cam once last year. They did a thing on the Hassleback brothers and had Seahawks and Skins cam on togeater. But that was the only time. :dallasuck :eaglesuck :gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I also have watched from day one. I did see one or two Skins cams, one was Chris Samuels and he looked a bit nervous (not himself at all). I think Smoot or LaVar on skins cam would be great.

bobzmuda Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 If you have DirecTV see if you get channel 629, Comcast Sports. They have televised Redskin Reports everyday at 6pm with a reporter at the park. If you got the 4 free months of ultimate-extreme-premium DirecTV service for ordering Sunday Ticket recently, you should get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Money Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Being in NJ (grumble) I don't get CSN channel #629 but I see that there is a lot of redskins stuff on the viewers guide for that channel. There's a redskins pregame and a post game show and other great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimFolk Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I seen them interview Shawn Springs, Marcus Washington, Mark Brunell, Lavar Arrington, and Joe Gibbs was on the Schedule Show talking about how he hates our schedule and what not.

Opiate-Zeo Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 You can say the same thing about thier show Playbook. I think I missed the monday show, if they have one. But, they have not mentioned the skins once. They even were talking about the best RB's on sunday, and talked about most of them except Portis (although they did show his run). I have also noticed the skins dissing by the NFL network. Although, I chalked it up to Gibbs not letting them have access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoppyCock Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Don;t know if this has already been posted but LaVar was on total access yesterday. Should still be able to catch it seeing how them repeat them all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
