Do you think Rivera will successfully rebuild ?

Ron says " Taylor is our guy going forward"

More from Ron

Rivera: "The truth is it gets darkest before it gets brightest. There's a thing I've learned from being around military personnel: It takes 3 to 5 years to change culture. Futility doesn't disappear overnight."

Lol, spare me. This is not the military it's the NFL. 3 years is the absolute max excuse making, 4 and 5 years is laughable.

We’ve been futile for years though. Lol if this is what we’ve come to, yikes.

We are the Lions 2.0 , dumpster fire from head to toe...

What do we have to look forward to?

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah being a former service member I find this a bit of a stretch... The NFL or football in general is not the military lol.. It's a game, I get that he's trying to show gratitude but it's not the same... Also the culture in the military is pretty solid, we all think the shit sucks lol

[skinsfaninok]

I don't think Ron will be fired this year but if they suck ass again in 2022 he will be out.

The changes to the playing surface aren't minor, either. In the past, Washington's grounds crew would strip off two inches and replace the sod to put together a turf they could play on.

Now, they're taking out 14 inches of subsoil, all the way down to the heat lines. Then, they're going to rebuild the entire surface all the way up, with a new drainage system, new irrigation system and brand new USGA spec sand.

The changing of the sand is a major deal, too. According to Benevento, roughly 2,000 tons --- yes, you read that right -- are coming in, with more than 2,000 tons of the old sand being removed. The new sand is softer sand with bigger particle size; the old sand was more firm and beginning to break down.

After that comes the actual grass, which has been grown in Charlotte, North Carolina, and made especially for FedExField.

"It's going to make a huge difference for our players, our coaching staff and the fans," Benevento said. "Players are going to feel a lot more confident out here running around. Coaches are going to understand what they're coming into every day."

Head coach Ron Rivera has played a major role in getting the process rolling. Not only is the surface at FedExField being changed, but the team's practice fields at the Ashburn facility have been upgraded this offseason, too.

"He was a big advocate for us, here and at the park," Benevento said. "He was a huge voice for the grounds crew and the fields themselves. He's been in our corner the entire step of the way."

The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a better playing surface for the players, something Benevento thinks will be accomplished once the process is concluded.

"I'm excited for our players to play on a field they know is perfect every time they come out here," Benevento said.

Yes .... its "winning off the field" but Ron has done a lot. He had to build and fill out an entire organizational chart, FO, scouting dept. Got Snyder to pay for upgrading the field and facilities.

We were the cheapest worst run organization before Ron.

There was so much work to be done and I think we need to be thankful Ron even agreed to come here and deal with this shit.

This year is disappointing but the man has done a lot of good already.

No head coach can come here and win with the way our barebones scouting, FO and facilities were prior to Ron coming here.

[AnonEmouse]

I'm not sure RR is the solution beyond next season, but is it maybe that we've become so fed up with losing around here, we're not prepared to give ANYONE more than 2 seasons to fix things?

[skinsfaninok]

I agree that he has done good things but at he end of the day we can talk talk talk but if the team is losing on Sunday's nothing else matters. Fans don't give a shit about turf at the stadium (no offense to you) , we care about rooting for a team that you can be proud of.. That isn't the case and hasn't been for years so yeah we are all down and out and tired of it. Hard to have faith in Ron right now.

[skinsfaninok]

It's going to have to be a young no name guy regardless. Unless Ron can turn this around by 2022.. Right now with no QB, I don't see it happening

Draft a QB with every pick next year lol. Keep the best 2 and Allen/Heinicke can compete to be the veteran 3rd QB.

Why keep keep Allen and TH around? Save the spot for the next Frerotte or Cousins.
