Thanks. It seems like he just saw the blurb from PFT and tried to pursue, but to no avail as of yet.

I wonder, not to get anyone's hopes up, but if this would end up in a way similar to how the Falcons front office situation worked out, in that Rich McKay stepped aside from GM duties to take a job as president for the Falcons while Thomas Dimitroff was brought in to put together the team. That way we would be free from Vinny putting together the roster and Snyder would still have his buddy. Of course though I would seriously doubt that we go into this offseason without Vinny calling the shots, but as I said before I would rather see Vinny either learn or fall flat on his face and paving the way for Snyder to bring in someone like DeCosta.

Ive mentioned this a couple of times over the past year. Partly from speculation, partly from rumors I hear. But yeah I think it's possible, if not probable that if Cerrato is still with the team in a year or two it won't really be as EVP of Football Operations. I see him running the business side or being a top exec there, and that may include Redskins TV, other Snyder properties, perhaps stadium plans, etc.

Yeah, those drafts that were listed weren't so hot. It is good that The Danny is looking at a GM though, if that is indeed what this guy will be.

SmootSmack · 01-23-2009, 09:04 AM

We might have to shut this board down for lack of activity if the Redskins actually do bring in Bruce Allen

1. We say we want a GM-I guess Allen would fit that bill since he's a former GM at the moment

2. We say we want a "Football Guy"-I guess Allen would fit that bill as a fomer player, player agent, and executive in 3 different leagues

So we'll get what we want I suppose...but then what we'll do?

Seriously though, my curiosity is piqued with this rumor. But I suspect it's more two friends who talk on a semi-regularly basis and now it's just more interesting because one is out of a job and the other could use someone like him

Is there anyone in the catagory of .....T.G.I.Fridays, Applebee's, Carlos Okelly's? or are we going to be stuck with fast food and cheap beer? lol.

Of course, ‘not very good at all’ would be an accurate description of Redskins GM/whateverhedoes Vinny Cerrato and Snyder himself. Together, Snyderrato have mired the Redskins in mediocrity or worse for most of the last 10 years. Their drafts have been lackluster and often ignored and free agency has usually been an expensive mess, especially when Joe Gibbs wasn’t handling it. And don’t ask about trades. They’ve been worse.

off the subject but with the Ravens Ed Reed. And the Eagles Samuels and Dawkins. I can't help but wonder how much better we would have been had we still had S.Taylor. I know one man can't so it all but a guy like that can be a game changer. I know it's obvious but worth stating. We lost our intiminator.

ST played D and our problem this year was O.

He scored TDs and put our offense in better field position (think back to the FG block against Dallas!)

ST would have made a HUGE difference. He was our best playmaker on "D".
