3) Raheem interviewing with other teams doesn't mean the Redskins don't like him

4) Jsteelz has been very very wrong on things before, but who hasn't? He's well connected. He and I bounce information off each other all the time. Sometimes we confirm what the other is hearing, other times we have completely different information

5) Keep in mind reporters get information from not just public facing people (players, coaches) but also those behind the scenes. The ones that the Jsteelz of the world connects with

6) Mainstream media is also limited by rules like "off the record" and "on background" that others are not

7) I don't know if Haslett left for any reason other than he knew his leash was very very short

Thanks.

Fair or unfair, I think its time for Morris to move on (which I think is paraphrasing of something you have said previously). For any number of reasons, this defensive (and coaching staff in general) need a clean sweep and for Gruden to sink or swim with folks of his choosing not remnants of past staff/FO choices.
