Yesterday Wynn, Griffin, Salave'e, Arrington, Springs and Clark were not starting. I know some replacements were due to injuries, but the reality is only 5 of the regular 11 starters were on the field. That's only 45%. I would call that an upheaval.

I think the problem goes back furthur than just one year of free agent acquisitions. This problem has manefested itself for several years. It is a repeated strategy of trading draft picks for veterans. It is flawed. Because management has traded away the future, it is difficult to reverse the strategy. For at least five years, the team would have to keep what draft picks it has and not aggressively go after free agents. The talent level would deminish greatly. Redskin fans wouldn't put up with it. Coaches would get fired, seats would be empty and the owners would lose money. Its not going to happen.

WELL SAID....I like Dan Snyder, he just needs to learn to leave the BIG decisions to the ones who have to deal with it most, THE COACHES AND STAFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
