There are lots of other deficiencies on the 2010 squad. How many of them are also going to be jettisoned in the next couple of weeks to audtion new talent in game situations under fire (rather than in training camp scenarios)? Don't worry about needing the fingers on two hands to count those instances.

If you do not think that the Redskins organization is capable of scapegoating someone on the roster after a serious on-field blunder, you have not been paying attention either to the current owner of the team or to the current head coach.

When the 2010 season was still relevant, the team (coaches, FO and owner) had no problems with Hunter's punting, Gano's missing, Haynesworth's malingering etc. but once the season circled the drain and fans got very angry, then the team (coaches, FO and owner) "took action" to remedy things they said they recognized all along.

Sorry, I'm not shopping at that store...

As a matter of fact, Haynesworth performance and shannanigans on and off the field have been a daily issue since he arrived.........or didn't.
I think the punting and kicking game have been as well since we have had numerous misses that could have salted away a few games and "makeable" FG's failed.....and we lost.
Way to many times have Hunters efforts left a short field to the enemy needlessly.
I imagine the...botched "hold" the other day was simply the last straw in an erstwhile lackluster year or two. I really don't get how you read such sinister activities in this event?
AND if he used it to send a messgae to the rest of the team that mediocrity is not the key to a long Redskin career...you have a problem with that?
