The Head Hog was back, if only for a day.
Former Washington Redskins offensive line coach Joe Bugel, who oversaw the famed "Hogs" line in the 1980s, yesterday watched tape of the current Redskins' first seven games and will write a scouting report to help boost coach Steve Spurrier's fading offense.
Washington had the NFL's No. 1 offense four weeks ago, but the unit has struggled since as quarterback Patrick Ramsey has absorbed regular beatings. This week the offense ranks 17th, and in Sunday's loss at Buffalo it generated a season-low 169 yards.
Bugel's work came free of charge and with no further commitments beyond his forthcoming scouting report. Team officials said he was not hired or even paid a fee and that there are no plans to bring him back for more scouting reports. He returned to his Phoenix-area home after spending about 10 hours at Redskin Park.
