It makes sense that the Washington Redskins will appear in the preseason Hall Of Fame Game for the second time in five years. The Skins will see legends Darrell Green and Art Monk enshrined that weekend into the Hall ... as well as Emmitt Thomas, a former Kansas City Chief who spent time on Washington's coaching staff.
The Redskins will take on the Indianapolis Colts. The game will take place on August 3rd in Canton, Ohio.
The game will be the first time we'll get to see new head coach Jim Zorn leading the "maroon and black" (gotta get that one right, Jimmy). Five years ago, Joe Gibbs' return to coaching was in the Hall of Fame Game when Washington beat the Denver Broncos, 20-17. The Redskins have won all four Hall games in which they've played.
This also means that the Colts and Redskins will each have five preseason games. That may suck for the Colts, who pretty much know who they are and what they do ... but the Redskins may need that extra game to get acclimated to what Zorn may want from his team and young quarterback.
