I wouldn't equate Jsteelz and SS to PFT. Not even in the same ball park. Drama is there because we are a shit organization.

Well, at the very least, your first look is among those you know. No surprise that you would know nearly everyone in a business that has only 1 degree of separation. As we've demonstrated here, you can connect almost everyone to any organization you can name in some way...

This cronyism stuff is media fare kept alive by rabid fans, like us. It'll be nice to return to football news at some point.

Our boy SS is as objective as they come. Sometimes others let their fandom bleed through a little too much IMO.

Sometimes, they state opinions which often gets translated as inside info. I'm guilty of doing that myself. Your statement isn't incorrect though. :) (especially with Kevin/Httr24/7)

"Haz wanted to fire Raheem but that was a no-go with Bruce. Probably gives credibility to Jsteelze saying that Raheem was calling some of the defense last year."

nothing really

JoeRedskin, Alvin is making it easy for you. Find the Bruce Allen connection.


Gotta say that Jets and Bears tenure not really making me feel warm and fuzzy....but thats what the Jacks Daniels is for.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Can't polish a turd. Cutler has been a letdown for several coaches and when was the last time the Jets had a real QB under center?

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

We really needed a QB coach. Let's hope that he works well with our QB's and helps them to quickly improve.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Dear Matt Cavanaugh,

Please teach Bob Griphone how to read a freakin defense.
Thanks!

Your pal,

Ah, twitter drama. Nothing like it. I try to steer clear of that

As for Matt Cavanaugh, not his biggest fan but a dedicated QB coach is important in my opinion. I really thought it'd be Hackett, have thought that for weeks. Did not see Cavanaugh coming

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Cavanaugh has been a solid coach, I think it's a very good addition.

Re: 2015 Redskins Coaches/Coordinators News
 

Dear Matt Cavanaugh,

Please teach Bobert Grifpene pocket awareness.
Muchas gracias!

He helped guide Mark Sanchez to two AFC championship games. I think that's the definition of polishing a turd. And Cutler seems to be a complete waste of talent, and could care less that he is playing NFL football. I don't see many negatives with this hire, I mean I really see no way we can be any worse than we were at QB last year, right??

does anyone else feel like these changes should have been done last year? or 16 years ago?

at least they are doing it now.

I guess better late (I mean real late) than never.

First time HC last year, live and learn. Plus with a real GM in place that helps.

Any time now we should hear people wondering if this will lead to Russ coming back.

We've been saying this every 4 years since JG was last hired.

I honestly feel the team will be blown up next year including coaching staff with Scott McGluegun as the last man standing.

RG1 for HC in 2016!!!! (Russ Grimm)

With all the new coaches that are here, I really hope Snyder stays patient and gives Gruden 3 years. This isn't a playoff team in 2015.

We need to start looking like a team with something happening. Not all 6-10 seasons are alike. We've too often had the highly disappointing types rather than the encouraging with something to build on type. We're not close...fans and the team need not pretend that we are.
