After the absurd moves by the Redskins franchise (suing a fan, banning signs, t-shirts, etc.), it's been more fun watching the Redskins implode.Not to mention the name of the team itself. While all of those colleges with nicknames such as "Indians" had to change them, the local pro team defends itself in court to keep calling itself the Redskins.

When Snyder speaks and his actions follow what he says, then I might be inclined to believe those words. When Synder finally realizes that it is his micro-managing of team and his boy Vinny are the main downfall elements of the Redskins, the team may have a chance of rebuilding. Until that happens, it will only be a long string of season losses and disappointment.

I choose not to be a part of the abuse delivered by Snyder and company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pathetic-23300609 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 08:41:24 EDT Re: Pathetic http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pathetic-23300265

Dream ???? that's a nightmare. :D Danny boy might think he has some clout, but just like the incidents where he took season tickets holders who couldn't pay to court, this too will come back to bite him in his arse.

We here in our home have made a decision. We will not wear ANY Skins gear, nor will we watch any more games until management changes it ways. Both off and on the field. I might take a listen to Sonny and Sam and read the Post but we won't be giving Snyder any viewer points.

Vinny has to say that, to say anything else is admitting he screwed up.

He also said that no OL was worth picking at 13 (so they took Orakpo). Sounds great but Michael Oher was sitting in New York at the invite of the 49ers who didn't take him because Al Davis reached for Heyward-Bey and left Michael Crabtree who they couldn't resist at #10, Oher should have been gone 3 slots before Vinny picked.
Ravens traded up when Oher dropped to 23 and grabbed him.
He started at RT for 3 games, then had to switch to LT when Gaither got hurt. His 4th professional game and he holds his own pretty darn good against Jared Allen.

I'd guess Vinny going to the media was nothing more than spin control. He screwed up. left a glaring need, the Redskins are paying for it, "and it is Zorn's play calling fault".

Alex Mack a 6'4" 316lb center was there for Cleveland at 21.
Tell me someone that size can't play guard for a couple of years. He won the Morris Trophy in 2007 and 2008 (Best O-lineman in the Pac 10), making him the third offensive lineman and the first since Washington's Lincoln Kennedy in 1991-1992 to win the award twice.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Vinny Cerrato believes he gave Jim Zorn a roster that can make the playoffs.

The Washington Redskins' front office chief made a rare appearance before reporters Tuesday to talk about the team's 2-5 start. He called the record "frustrating and disappointing" but said he felt the roster he assembled had playoff potential.

The lack of depth on the offensive line is a sore point. Clinton Portis said Monday it was an issue that wasn't addressed - "and it came back to haunt us."

Cerrato said he tried to address the line in the offseason but that finding quality depth isn't always easy.

The Redskins have a bye following Monday night's 24-17 loss to Philadelphia.

Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.

Not only does he need to be shown the door, it needs to hit him hard on the backside when it slams shut.

Maybe what needs to happen is for fans to have a Daniel Snyder Appreciation Day.

On that day, you don't go to the game or watch it on a TV that can be tracked for ratings.

Sure it will p*ss him off, but that is not the object, the object is to have Forbes want to take another look at how much they have his franchise valued at.
»espn.go.com/sportsbusiness/s/forbes.html

Maybe then the arrogant one wakes up and learns that the value of his great possession is not what he has but in the fan base that pours the money into it.
I think Angelos finally learned some things and backed off giving Andy McPhail a lot more power than he would have years ago.

Glad you had the wink, because I wouldn't go that far. He could be a very serviceable guard with no major weaknesses.

Grobs, great link! Sad but funny. I think Sherm is going to have a hard time getting the post-Snyder stink off of him. I did like some of the flow and play calls I saw.

There was a quote by somebody that I don't remember exactly, but went something like a coach being asked about execution after a game, and he said Yes, they all should be taken out and executed.

The Sherm Lewis Playbook

»i9.photobucket.com/albums/a78/nu···book.gif
Gee, glad I did miss the game. Less pain watching Lewis' playbook I guess. It is funny and sad at the same time.

In all the down years the Skins have had that I have witnessed, this season is the worse I have ever seen. I was born with burgundy and gold running through my veins. Still does. I complained somewhat when JKC owned the team, but it was over small stuff until his will made it possible for letting Snyder get the opportunity to get the team as owner. Don't think he realized what the consequences would be when he did it.

It's difficult to want the Skins to succeed while at the same time having deep disrespect for Snyder and not wanting to give him any $$$ for the team.

The Skins problems run deeper than Snyder and they have for the past ten years. Snyder won't change his micro-managing habits, won't fire Vinny, will fire Zorn, will continue to abuse fans who support the team, and will continue to find sub par players and pay them outrageous salaries only to have them sit on the beach because they can't run more than one play without getting winded.

As long as Synder continues to run the Skins into the ground the way he has, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell of the Skins having a winning season again. And that is very difficult for me to come to terms with. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pathetic-23248932 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 13:42:55 EDT Re: Pathetic http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Pathetic-23248798 --

So 'Snyder must go' talk would seem to be pretty pointless.

The Eagle D that recently re-signed Jeremiah Trotter trying to bolster their D, that let Lito and Brian Dawkins go...

I will say that the Skins D played well, but wonder how big of a blowout it would have been if Westbrook had stayed healthy.

Davis did have some nice catches after Cooley went down, but he can't pass block for sh*t. No wait a minute, I'm wrong, he can block for sh*t.

Das Snyder has bought himself a pretty nice D, but I really doubt if there is enough free cap space to do much with the O-line.... but uncapped year looking to come up so maybe there are plans.

Adding another cast-off, LT Levi Jones was necessary, but Levi was cut by the Bengals (3rd most sacks allowed last year), and he did sit at home from May to October before a team finally had to open the checkbook for him (Samuels injury and poor OL depth).
I am not going to knock Heyer, gotta love what the undrafted tackle from Maryland has managed to do on some skill and a lot of grit.
At least there is no loss coming up this week

Did you see Campbell duck the flying LB near the end of the game? Campbell had been hit a lot, and was slow getting up on a number of occasions. I saw that play unfolding and the thought that came immediately into my mind was "He is done", then he ducked it and survived. I wonder how long it took him to find the least painless way to get out of bed this morning?

I still remember the one Redskins staffer trying to defend Snyder's ownership by saying how much of a fan of the Redskins Snyder is. That may be true, but he needs to STOP treating the team like his own, real-life fantasy league team if he wants the team to win.
