New Sheriff in town.....2010, I'll be happy if?

Hog1 · 01-06-2010, 11:02 AM

With a makeover in the offing, and ALL the crap we had to deal with this season, what will you consider to be a successful season in 2010?
If we go 8-8 and scare a few more games in the process. NO shutouts. NO blowouts. Do much sensible team building to the future with quality guys.
I will be a happy man

9-7 record, would make me happy.

We stop reloading and start rebuilding. I dont expect great things right away, but lets see some steps.

BDBohnzie · 01-06-2010, 11:24 AM

- Sensible building of team, with riff-raff let go and quality brought in, including a responsible draft
- If Shanny goes QB at #4, he better either retain Campbell for a year or 2, or grab a veteran ready to take the reigns (I'm still in favor of Okung/McCoy if QB is a priority)
- Win 2 of the 6 division games, 7 wins overall
- Snyder stays hands off (HA!)

A smart, disciplined team. There was nothing more annoying the past 2 seasons with Zorn than to see boneheaded errors and a lack of discipline. I am looking forward to seeing an aggressive and progressive offensive system that's suited to the players rather than the players having to shoehorn into what the coach feels the offense would be. That's what I felt that Zorn did far too much.

This, and at least beating Dallas NYG and Philly once. I don't want to be the red-headed step child in the division anymore.

Portis gets cut or traded -- even if its for a team pizza party

Bushead · 01-06-2010, 12:00 PM

All I want, and I don't care if we go 4-12 to 8-8 (I don't think playoffs are believable at all) is a sign of some real change. A sensible draft after cutting some of the dead weight and adding a couple smart choice free agents would be perfect.

What I really want to see 1st year is a season with no clock management mishaps at the end of halfs and games. That would just give me enough of a sign that we doing alright.

I'm already happy. We have people with experience in the organization. Nothing but good with come of this. Go skins!

I want to see a 100% turnover in the coaching staff.

I want to see some kind of shakeup in the people involved in scouting pro players on other teams and other teams' practice squads.

I want to see a training camp that stresses conditioning and hard work instead of a kids' summer camp atmosphere.

I want to see every player subject to the same team rules - - particularly when it comes to practicing and conditioning.

I want the Redskins to be the youngest team in the NFL - - meaning that a lot of "long-in-the-tooth vets" will be looking for work.

I want the Redskins to make a decision on who is their QB of the future by the end of the 2010 season - - and then to stick with that decision for at least the next 3 full seasons.

Most of all, I want to hear that Vinny Cerrato has gotten a job as a Sherpa taking mountain climbers up Mount Everest so that he is far enough away that he cannot find any opportunity to nibble on Danny Boy's earlobe and throw sand into the gears of the new regime.

Not far enough away. Vinny needs to be on the moon or, at least, in Antarctica.

IM GOING ON RECORD AND SAYING MIKE SHANAHAN WILL GET US A EASY 10 BUT HARD 11 GAMES NEXT YEAR!!! Let me explain, everyone in the media and nfl thinks we have Top 10 Defense, that's without question, M. Shanahan is a Offensive Genius, thats without question, Jason Campbell or Sam Bradford, we will Score and adverage of 26 points next year, now I am thinking outside of our division, we will have a light schedule, so we won 4 games this year.... can anyone say without a doubt that is we had this adverage per game, we couldn't have won 6 more games. Dare I say 7? So my theory is that Shanny will have us starting off hot.... like 4-1 then we taper off to 2-3, so now we are 6-4, then we finish with a winning record the last 6 games. 4-2, which makes us 10-6, I think somewhere in there, it will be a game we might pull off, with a lil magic.... maybe 11-5, So my final anaylis is that we finish the division, the top team in our division or second place. Which 10 gets us in the playoff's, 11 get's us a home game. I can see us doing something special in the playoff's and maybe losing the 2nd playoff game going into 2011 with Superbowl asperations.
