Thoughts going into the bye week...

[Paintrain]

This is probably the most disappointing season I've had in my 20+ years as a Redskins fan. I'm truly embarrassed by the product out there each and every week. That being said, I'd like to see some of the following coming out of the bye week-

-No more ARE on punt returns. He literally brings nothing to that role. Secure hands? Nope, he's muffed and/or been involved in a fumble each of the past 3 games. Explosiveness? Nope, he has zero burst. Fearlessness? Nope, he seems to seek a nice patch of grass to nestle into whenever a defender is within 3 yards of him. He's done, let's get Thomas or Moss into that role full time.

-Youth movement time. You drafted Kevin Barnes, Chad Rinehart and Marko Mitchell for a reason. Quit making excuses and play them. So what if they make mistakes, the veteran starters are making mistakes! The only difference is your veterans are making the same mistakes they've made for YEARS (I'm talking about you still not being able to defend a double move Carlos Rogers) and they're not going to change. Let the kids play so you can see what you have! I'd be 100% fine with ARE being inactive with Mitchell replacing him on the active roster on game days. Will Montgomery is worthless, could Rinehart really be worse than him? If there is any bigger indictment of Cerrato, it's that he's made 16 draft picks over the past 2 years and even the 'best pick'-Chris Horton, is playing to his draft spot this year. See if the kids can play or not.

-I don't see any point in a QB change. I'm not saying this as a JC fan, but there's no reason to put a 38 year old Todd Collins back there and we hadn't heard a sniff about Andre Woodson since we signed him to the practice squad.
