ESPN: Snyder, Skins Appear Committed to New Approach

[Drift Reality]

Just to recap. the past month:

1. Hired a relatively unheralded coach who is known for being a great teacher, and a high-character guy.
2. Promoted Vinny to the executive personnel position (effectively making him our general manager)
3. Announced that we would be taking a conservative approach to a free agency market that we perceive to be a seller's market
4. Retained a great deal of our coaching staff
5. Quelched any potential for a QB controversy
6. Removed a talented, high-priced player who was a cancer

My opinion? These are all the right moves. In just one month my perception of the Redskins and Snyder has really changed quite a bit.

Here's to hoping they keep it up

2 & 4 came before 1, but hey, we can't be too analytical, and they are the right moves.

As much as I have bashed the FO before I like what they are doing know and totally agree with your points. Now if the Skins can just keep their word and not go bonkers in Free Agency and also keep their picks it will be a successful offseason. I know that agents hate what Vinny said about the Skins being quiet, but Vinny and Dan may have learned from the rescent past that going after the big names does not always pan out.

Break-down of all Free Agents since 2000. Skins have some good, bad, and ugly!!

Free Agency Philosophy

Where would our defense be without Carter and Fletcher?

If things go south over the next 2-3 years, you think Vinny would take more heat than Zorn?
