[quote=Skinny Tee;598734]I'm possibly being a little dense here, my apologies. Does this mean that you are Eric DeCosta?[/quote]


Lol, yeah Smootsmack is dead on. Being Eric DeCosta would be great. Don't worry about it though, it's all good. A year or two ago I probably would have asked the same thing.

From Wikipedia:
[I]Named as one of the most powerful people in sports under the age of 35 ([URL="http://www.sportingnews.com/yourturn/viewtopic.php?t=49811"][2][/URL]), DeCosta has played a strong role in the drafting of Pro Bowl players like [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Reed"]Ed Reed[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrell_Suggs"]Terrell Suggs[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamal_Lewis"]Jamal Lewis[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart_Scott"]Bart Scott[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le%27Ron_McClain"]Le'Ron McClain[/URL] along with significant contributors [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Weaver"]Tony Weaver[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_J._Clayton"]Mark Clayton[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haloti_Ngata"]Haloti Ngata[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Taylor"]Chester Taylor[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Hartwell"]Ed Hartwell[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawan_Landry"]Dawan Landry[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Brown_%28American_football%29"]Jason Brown[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jared_Gaither"]Jared Gaither[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Grubbs"]Ben Grubbs[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Koch"]Sam Koch[/URL], and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Rice"]Ray Rice[/URL].

[/I][quote=SmootSmack;598736]Ha! He wishes. Eric DeCosta is an up and coming exec in the Ravens front office, a [B]potential future General Manager[/B][/quote]

I'm glad to hear that. With his promotion early this year I was wondering how hard it would be to snag him from the Ravens. Now I guess the only questions that remain are:

1. Will Snyder strip Vinny of his personnel duties?

2. Would DeCosta be crazy enough to come back to the Redskins (he was originally an entry level intern in 1995)?

Well kind of. It's more like this guy. Except instead of a guy it's Lady Gaga complete with Sumo's Redskin themed frames. In all fairness though that pic ([URL="http://twitpic.com/jhyvg"]this[/URL]) would make for a perfect avatar assuming someone would color it.

[quote=Slingin Sammy 33;598589]Or #4, make every effort to lock up Holmgren as GM now, then let him make the football decisions. If he thinks it's best for him to get back on the sideline then so be it. My guess would be Holmgren would keep Zorn in place as HC for the rest of the season and then evaluate the best course of action. Fire Blache now and promote from within, Gray or Olivadotti then make a final DC decision after the season. Cerrato can stick around with some BS title, but ultimately control would be Holmgren's.[/quote]

Holmgren didn't have a whole lot of success as a GM. Obviously I'm touting Decosta now/again so in all honesty I only want Holmgren as a coach/playcaller. They do need to consider a new Defensive Coordinator. 51% on third down is pathetic especially for a defense with this level of talent.

With Cerrato I picture a Rich McKay type situation where McKay took on a more organizational role and someone else gets hired to run the show. Ironically if it went down the same way as it did in Atlanta Vinny would become President Cerrato.

Re: Zorn On The Hot Seat
 

When you lose 8 of the last 11 with a talented team I find it hard not to blame the coaching although it may not all be his fault you just shouldn't be losing that much with a team who has this much talent.

It has nothing to do with your rationale, it's all to do with you being a Cowboys fan.

Yeah the other teams shit? And the Ravens considering how their fans are? wtf?!

I'll be a Redskins fan until they don't exist anymore or I die.

Yeah...I don't think people were comprehending the idea of switching the avatar to another icon that didn't have the Skins on it.

Completely outrageous to change it to another team...I don't think those people got the point.

And the whole..."oh, this is my AFC team" EFF THAT!...you have one team you like or nothing. What happens when your AFC team and NFC team meet?...Your brain explodes???...hopefully for people like that. That whole idea is really dumb.

Re: Zorn On The Hot Seat
 

I'm choosing Tupa punting as my new avatar since this team has totally punted on playing with heart or toughness this year so far.

I'm a bit ashamed to have to replace the RIP ST21 ribbon but I think Sean himself would be disgusted with this team's play this year.

Great now I have an Ashlee Simpson song stuck in my head.

In all seriousness though the only reason I'm familiar with that situation is because I live in the area. Otherwise I would be completely oblivious to the Rich McKay deal.

Re: Zorn On The Hot Seat
 

One thing is for sure...I don't want to go back to the days of Mark Brunell. I'd rather have Zorn and Campbell (they come as a package).

Re: Zorn On The Hot Seat
 

In my book he's still in the hot seat. Have you wondered why the team comes out and looks horrible the 1st half only to make plays in the last 2 min. of the half. Then come out in the 3rd quarter and make more plays? I think it has a lot to do with the "scripted" plays Zorn has set up for the first 20 plays. In 2 min drills he gets away from the script. Then when the second half starts the team looks good cause these are the non-scripted plays that Zorn is pulling off his sheet.

Plus JC is usually in shotgun trying to play catch up.

Where are they? ARE in the first 2 games, Cooley and Moss. Who else fits in this category? Have Kelly and Thomas been active the last few weeks? Just wondering. I haven't noticed them on the field. lol

Brunell had 23 TDs and only 10 INTs in 2005 and went to the playoffs. We couldn't wait to get rid of him. Most fans would take that kind of production in a heartbeat today.
