You know, I always said that despite some of the things he did coming off as needlessly nasty, Snyder wanted this team to win and didn't mind spending money if he thought it would help. This is a lot more than many NFL teams could ever say of their owner. And I think it took him a while to learn that just opening the wallet wasn't going to get it done.

I'll be the first to admit I was disappointed when Ggggrilliamssss wasn't offered the job, especially during the awful tragedy last year and the mental state of the team, but moving past that, I was actually happy that Zorn was the pick and not some "name" like Fossil or even Cowher.

Gibbs wasn't a "name" when he came to town, either, but he built his own legend. I'm not saying Zorn will necessarily replicate that success here and now, but he does seem like a smart guy, a leader who the players respect, and a guy who is sticking to sound principles of winning football.

So, yeah, The Danny definitely looks like a genius, but you have to believe he thought this strategy through. And he had the guts to say "whatever, I don't care what the writers or pundits say" and go with his gut.

He looks no more silly than most of us jumping around our living rooms. He's loving life right now.

Exactly. We all act like that or worse. I think it's great. It's good to see some of that fire.

I hear ARE did another version of Zorn's HIP HIP HOORAY yesterday. I wish we could see that one.

They'll probably show it on Inside the NFL this week, or on NFL.com if they make this the game of the week.

skinsfan_nn · 10-05-2008, 08:44 PM

Gotta love it. The man loves this team as much as I do......

I think its freakin GREAT! Glad he has this to be happy about, beats the hell outta the other way around.

dude that is awesome.

could you guys see synder freakin going off with some big cuss words yelling about the team in the tunnel not realizing he is being filmed all pumped up if we go like 8-1 or something? lol... I like his enthusiam

MonkFan4Life · 10-05-2008, 08:46 PM

He's probably thinking about how everyone said that Zorn was just a stop gap for him until he could pay Cowher. Or how they said that Zorn was just a puppet. How he didnt know what he was doing when he took a chance on Jim Zorn. Or maybe how they said that the SKins couldn't win in Dallas let alone Philly the following week. He's a fan just like us, geeked up that the team won. Except he'll take the rap if they look like shit. I'm glad he has something to cheer for. Hopefully he can tell everyone to suck it while he's holding up the big trophy someday !

Hail To The Redskins !!!

The only thing that Snyder is guilty of is trying his best to make the Redskins a winner. He never balked at paying anyone, unlike another NFL owner out west. He also always tried to get the Redskins the best head coach that he could, and paid them what it took to get them to coach the Redskins.

I agree there are some owners that don't do anything to help the team or build a stadium or anything. As for him cheering like that I think its great!
he seems like the type of person that is good to sit drink beer and watch a skins game with as long as his buying ofcourse.

Thank God we have an owner who cares. We could have Al Davis, or the folks in Detroit for owners.

Snyder and Cerrato have done a great job managing the cap, finding some diamonds in the rough, and having faith/confidence in Zorn/Blache.

EDIT: As Smoot said, I'll bet a majority of the solid personnel decisons are being made by Campbell and Cerrato is getting out of the way and letting this guy do his job.
