[quote=Warthog;1241269]Exactly. The guy had an awesome 2019 draft. Almost a dozen rookie STARTERS from the draft and UDFA.

McLaurin is the only draftee that I feel confident saying will be a starter 3 years from now.

Haskins and Sweat are question marks. Haskins had imo 1 good half of football and that was against the Giants. Sweat had one good game, yesterday. The rest of the guys are very much question marks. I like the promise of Harmon, Sims, Sims jr, Martin but those guys should not be considered starters next year.

2018 draft - Payne was taken 13th overall and I like him and I think he brings a lot that doesnt show up on stat sheets but has he played above a 13th overall level? Has he played better than Derwin James (injured this year)?

Did Smith want Payne OVER Derwin James? When we had a huge need at S but just took a similar IDL in Allen 17th overall the year before?

2018 draft you have Settle, SDH, Apke, Geron Christian, Stroman = who knows if any of these guys will be on the roster 2-3 years from now.

-----------------------

Im encouraged by the young guys but I feel like looking at it objectively ..... Im over valuing our young players. Imaging the best case scenario for all of them playing out.

And I want to keep Kyle Smith. 100%

But I also want to pump the brakes on over hyping the last few drafts.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Did you watch Sweat yesterday? Settle is a stud and could be starting on another team, Harmon, McLaurin and Sims will be starting next year and be more productive, same goes for Haskins. Martin proofed he can play also, what is it that you are not seeing!

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Boy if that article doesn't paint a depressing picture of life inside Redskins Park. Why does the concept of building a new practice facility seem so foreign to Danny?

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

Other teams, like the Vikings, get huge grants for practice facilities and stadiums FROM TAX PAYERS! $4 mill from VA is chump change.

Snyder obviously doesn’t like to spend money on things he doesn’t see on the field. He’ll thrown $100 mill at an ultimate loser FA player like Hainesworth, but cheaps out on scouting and practice facilities. I mean the training camp field doesn’t even have stadium seats -you just sit on a grass hill! Even HIGH SCHOOL teams have stadium seating.

Another Snyder trait that must change to be competitive.

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;1241143]Trents situation was always about money and wanting a new multi-year contract with more guaranteed money. All the drama aside, Trent Williams is old, injury prone, and one drug test away from a 1 year suspension. He’s not the type of player you bring back at the kind of money he’ll demand. He’s the kind of guy you trade to clear cap space and get draft picks to improve your teams future.

Our offensive line did just fine without Trent Williams this year. Well do fine without him next year. If we bring him back, I’ll have lost any confidence in the new front office.

Count me among the few who could care less if Trent comes back. He was already on his last legs before the holdout. He was still playing well, but the injuries were piling up. Jay even said at one point over the last couple of seasons that Trent had a degenerative knee condition and would one day need a replacement. Trent made his bed and he needs to lay in it now. I agree with all of your points, we need to move on beyond Trent

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

I wouldn’t say our OL was “fine”. We were 22 in rushing even with strong performances by Guice and AP. Whoever was QB was under strong pass rush pressure for most of the games.

Moses sucked and had an unbelievable amount of penalties.

Scherff may go elsewhere.

Martin looked good to the end of the season.

Flowers did surprisingly well but needs to be resigned.

Penns is freakin’ old. How much gas does he have left?

Throwing away Trent Williams is the easy choice, but he had some real problems with BA and the medical staff. Both are gone due to poor performance, so maybe he was right!!.

Get a couple years of top OT performance from TW while getting new OL draft picks THIS year. This year Bruce Allen brought in Penns and it worked.... barely. His tactic to “punish TW until he comes back to play” was a colossal failure and stupid. If Trent will come back, get him. He’ll be well rested and healthy next year.

Sunny side- Damn you’re harsh! Rookie Group 2019

Ok, Haskins didn’t have one good half of football.

His second to last game was a 121 QB rating. He played the whole game.

His last game was a 143 QB rating. For a rookie, with a crappy OL, three rookie WR, no decent TE and only 7 games experience, he had some phenomenal growth. He may not be the best but he’s off to a fast start for a rookie.

McLaurin was almost Rookie of the Year. He would have made it with a good QB situation and supporting WR group.

Steve Sims, JR and Harmon did very well for rookies. I bet at least one of them will be part of the outstanding Redskins possie in 3 years.

Holcomb- will be elite

Martin- good showing in last games

Sweat had a great last game. I don’t judge anyone on defense with Manusky in charge. The defense was POORLY COACHED. Next year with Rivera in charge this defense will shine - with many of the young players in the team NOW. Chase Young and Sweat are going to be a dynamic pass rush.

Overall, the team was playing 8-9 rookies in the end. That’s an incredible draft in my eyes.

I feel the main issues at Redskin Park were/are more about the people inside the building. Not the building itself.

I mean if you read the article it specifically mentions how easy it is for rumors to get around because execs and football players are cramped on the same floor together.

It's time for Danny to bring the team into the 21st century. This includes a modern practice facility with modern improvements.

I would agree. I'd like to see them move downtown or somewhere in Arlington so they feel more part of the city. I remember when that thing was built, I believe right after the 91 SB. Ashburn was barely even on the map.

I'm thinking maybe that's a reason Dan has settled for small improvements in Ashburn. Property values around here are insane, especially the closer you get to DC. IDC if they stay in Ashburn but they definitely are at a competitive disadvantage compared to other NFL teams.

Doc Walker on 980 is just a bit off on his take I believe. He is tearing up saying we lead the league in press conferences and other crazy statements.

I stopped reading after "Cousins has been a huge failure for the Vikings."

I wouldn't say Cousins has been worth his fully guaranteed contract but he did get them into the playoffs this year, and luckily for Cousins there are no playoff games on Monday nights. If Cousins does his part moving them deep into the playoffs idk what more you can ask for. Anybody who thinks Cousins could single-handedly take the Vikings to the SB obviously has no concept about what a team sport football is.

Back to Bruce Allen, he fucked up not selling Cousins to the highest bidder after Allen had to realize Cousins was never going to sign here. And then he fucked up trading for Alex Smith which spiraled into where we're at today.

There has to be something we're not hearing, Schaffer has built a reputation as the financial wizard that has kept the Redskins out of cap hell since Snyder started.

Maybe he was thinking he was in line for a promotion and Rivera didn't want him running the FO. Not sure but this is unexpected.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired
 

There were rumors that if Schaffer didn't get the position he wanted he'd be out.

I listened to the beginning of Docs show on Monday when all the Rivera and Allen buzz was going on and he started his show just continually lamenting how we almost let the Boys hang 50 on us.

I was like "dude, we were playing literal unknowns in the secondary. Guys who will never never ever see the inside of an NFL locker room. We wanted to lose for draft status. I want to hear about Rivera and Allen, not harbor on some meaningless game"

Yes, boys putting 47 on us sucks but thats like no. 23 on the list of newsworthy things to cover this past Monday for the Skins. I had to change the radio to Grant and Danny.

He’ll be evaluated by Rivera in this years draft. If he does well he’ll keep his job or move up to GM if he works well with Rivera.

Since Kyle’s has two good drafts, I think he will “wow” Rivera and move up.

The Shaffer firing appears to be untrue. He’s done an excellent job and should stay since he was one of the few guys who knows what he’s doing. We need a good cap guru.

I don't see Kyle Smith going anywhere. I think it was Sheehan that suggested that AJ Smith may be one of Danny's trusted advisors along with Gibbs that helped guide him through this process of hiring Rivera.

[quote=SkinzWin;1241422]Adam Schefter: Jack Del Rio will be the Redskins new defensive coordinator[/quote]

I like the hire of Ron Rivera and Jack del Rio. Jack del Rio has a track record of turning around really bad defenses quickly. In 2003 he took over a 25th ranked Jaguars defense and in one year they were the second ranked rush defense and sixth ranked over all in the NFL. He also was LB's coach during the Ravens 1999-2000 Superbowl season. In 2001 was hired as Defensive Coordinator with Panthers and in his first season in 2002, he led them to the second best defense in the league.
Better track record of any of the piece of shit Defensive coordinators we have had recently.

I think you'll see our defense instantly improve - a lot. RR and Del Rio are exactly what this defense needs. Outstanding infusion of talent with the addition of Chase young and premium new FA in the CB, FS. This defense already had talent, but it was previously mismanaged and the defensive coaching was poor. I'm excited to see what this defense can do next year!
