Though Snyder's attempts are at times misguided, the effort is appreciated by those within the locker room.

When you hear first-hand accounts as a player about how some other owners and organizations around the league run their respective franchises with both eyes on the financial bottom line, it becomes clear why Snyder is endearing to many members of the team. Players, after all, always respect great effort. Snyder has never faltered in that area; his marathon interview sessions are the latest example of that.

And this: (a concern shared by some fans, I think).

Redskins' players often wonder whether Snyder's allegiance to Cerrato has more to do with their professional or their personal relationship. It is no secret that the two are racquetball partners and close friends, in addition to being colleagues in the Redskins front office.


Tucker was totally non-committal in that piece. The FO structure is what it is at this point, we'll see how it goes (or if it shifts over time, with Scott Campbell moving more into full control of player personel), but the I think the bottom line to a lot of the concern is the power that Cerrato is wielding at the Park. Maybe he'll prove everyone wrong with his deft handling of things, but concerns about Cerrato lay at the bottom of a lot of the angst felt by those with concerns I'd say.
