DS is taking heat for the happy thanksgiving, I thought it was meant to be a joke.

I took it a a joke, but i have to admit, it was awkward. I thought i had an issue with public speaking. Now i understand why he doesn't speak to the media.

He’s like watching King George VI in the beginning of the movie “Kings Speech”!


Snyder did it though on live tv, in front of a hostile audience (media), while clearly lacking the skills to speak in a relaxed, inspiring and deliberate manner. IT SHOWS HOW MUCH HE WANTS RIVERA AND TO BUILD A WINNING CULTURE AND TEAM!

Yes call me floored we have now Rivera and Del Rio. Gotta hand it to DS. I read an article stating that Gibbs helped out a lot in this. Also, DS got emotional talking about his love for the Redskins with Rivera. That is awesome! Sometimes, all these changes since Monday feel like a dream. But it's real lol.

HTTR!

It was a joke he just didn’t set it up properly

ok yeah i agree

I'm going to take a wait and see approach. I just don't trust Snyder. Particularly when it comes to Haskins. It didn't sound like RR was all in with him, nor should he be. That's Dan's guy. We shall see how that plays out if RR doesn't end up wanting him..

I think I got a chub when he started talking about the defense.

I think Snyder will behave (fingers crossed). Feel it was a massive wake up call with the attendance figures regressing and the opposing fans there. He better realize he has no other option at this point. He needs to understand he doesn't know football and not get attached to players. Rivera needs to tell him to stay the heck out of his way. Snyder is VERY VERY lucky to have landed Rivera/Del Rio. I shudder at the notion of him screwing this up.

I hoping so, but Im not gonna jump to conclusions...I remember the Shanny hire. That was a big deal.

The question for me is who is the GM

That's what I wanna know also. Frankly, don't like the fact that will be addressed supposedly after the draft. Just think it would be addressed now.

1. The Ron hire and the Dan press conference (which he did a great job and said all the right things) have come off great

2. Combined with the young talent, No 2 pick and Cap space

3. Bruce out of organization


The Skins brand is on an upswing, if you wanted to attract a top notch GM candidate from outside the organization, now is the time.

RR will make everyone earn his job, the old school approach so many of us have been begging for

I wouldn't read too much into it. To me it was RR setting a tone of no job is gonna be given, every job's is gonna be earned. Which is fine.

And he might end up thinking starting another QB is the best thing to do, but I don't think that comment was anything else than setting a tone and telling Haskins he better work his ass off and say what he's told.

Yeah the only thing that made me raise my eyebrows in the Kiem article was Ron saying he was too impatient and so was Snyder in regards to a five year rebuild (TBH I don't think anyone wants a five year rebuild). I don't want the Snyder pendulum swing to go back to an impatient Snyder.

Great article everyone should read this
