The one thing thats has suprised me is that danny boy has stayted in the box and not put in his opinion on ramsey yet. Is he finally content on trusting the football minds in his organization.

Yes. Two words: Joe Gibbs. Enough said, regardless of what their current record is.

Snyder has a policy of not commenting on anything during the season...that being said, he doesn't just trust Gibbs he worships him

Which is as it should be.

Considering Gibbs knows a millions times more about managing a football team than what Snyder does, I'm sure ol Danny boy will quiet his pipes!

saden1 · 10-12-2004, 08:34 PM

No man is above questioning and that includes Gibbs. I must say, though, I would strongly disapprove if Dannyboy was doing the questioning.

skinsguy · 10-12-2004, 08:38 PM

Yeah, but most of us can see that the four losses we have had this year were close. Heck, in most of those games we have led. That said, I do not believe we're too far away from being a team playing above .500. At least there is some hope of possibly having Arrington back this weekend. Too bad though Bowman is out! Man..he has been a solid player!

Didn't Danny Boy fire a coach during a season? That would seem to be some kind of "commentary"...

Didn't his new head coach decide totally independently to start Jeff George in the next game? More "commentary"

Didn't Danny Boy come steaming out of locker room when one of his coaches "limited his comments" in the locker room after a game?

I think he is staying quiet because is marketing sense tells him that if he is perceived as "taking on" JOe Gibbs in a public forum, he (Danny Boy) will be bad guy in that confrontation. And I think he has had enough of being the local pinata...

So he'll probably sit in his owner's box and stew for a while in provate. But it has nothing to do with some kind of long-standing "policy" of his.

point taken. I should have been clearer and said he doesn't grant interviews during the season-unless he does now, he didn't a couple of years ago

One thing I realize about this team that Dan Synder purchased is that it was in shambles. No playoff birth since 1991 and he used what resources and knowledge (if any) of the football game to return the Redskins back to greatness. I think he has been given a bad rap for doing what every owner who wants to really win does and that's get the best available players for the most money he can understand the cap. Believe it or not, but he was the only person who could have encouraged Gibbs to return to this team and he deserves the credit.

Well, the team wasn't exactly in shambles when he bought the team. Remember they did make the playoffs in '99 and appeared to be building towards something... until the infamous spending spree of 2000, then the team was in shambles once Snyder put his paw prints all over it.

no no, bauman is in cinncy and most definately able to play...

oh, you meant bowen... yeah that sucks... he was solid, except in coverage, where he was worthless

seriously though, its interesting to see how poorly he was used last year (coverage... coverage... more coverage) and how williams has been ale to make him look 20x better just by letting him play his strengths (run, blitz, ST)

Not to argue, but Danny reportedly started this "not talking to the press during the season" policy in the 2001 season after he hired Schottenheimer. All of those examples are from the 2000 debacle....if anything, he does apear to learn from his mistakes.....unfortunately, we have had to live through them.
