Thelma and Louise may be more appropriate in this case.

Did we really get the best coaching candidate anybody could in the NFL, or did we just hire a guy because of Bruce Allen's personal connections going back to Tampa Bay via Jon Gruden?

I mean, I would love to have Seattle's OC or DC, if that coach and not Pete Carrol is responsible for the offense Russel Wilson shines in, or the LEO defense. I always liked Ken Whisenhunt. Needs a great QB, but we have one, and he's done wonders resurrecting Kurt Warner and Phillip Rivers.

I think that Cincys offense was better than ours. Not by leaps and bounds...but better. I think with a healthy RG-3 and some much needed help on the oline that this offense can absolutely soar under Gruden. Is their enough capspace and do we hit or miss in the draft to help the D. That is the question.

Yeah, no kidding. Now we have promise and new hope. It will be a long wait until August to see what that promise looks like.

4-0 is always a bad omen in preseason.

Some times keeping it real is more like "making a name". It makes sense to probe that area of questioning...I'm not sure the way he did it showed much skill. He is not the Mike Wallace of the DC sports media apparently.

Re: Jay Gruden hired as head coach of the Redskins

After last season this team needs to stay low and out of the spotlight a while. Screw Hard Knocks.

Agreed. RG3 does not need anymore publicity than he is already getting. His head may swell up even more. He needs to focus on being a QB and reading defenses, not sitting in front of cameras.
