Al Saunders on the way out?

If Saunders goes, I would like to see them go with Bill Lazor. Most of the successful OCs in the league right now are younger guys. Hell Peyton Manning is Indy's de-facto Coordinator so maybe we should just give the job to Todd Collins.

Lazor would be an interesting choice, and not a bad one at that.

i was one of the biggest Saunders bashers. but over the last quarter of the season, his offense started clicking. now, to keep continuity, he has almost got to stay if the skins are to be successful in 2008

If the Redskins are to be successfull, with Williams, they need Saunders. If they get rid of Saunders, we are 6-10 next year, and Williams is on the way out and Cohwer is in. It seemed to me, that after we lost to Buffalo, Joe Gibbs gave complete control to Saunders and the offense took off. I think this article is another case of JLC making totally inacurate statements. The more I think about last season, the more I think the JLC is wrong about Saunders. Last year, our defense was the problem and our offense was getting better. This year our offense started coming together, especialy after Collins took over. Furthemore, as the season progressed, Joe gave him more and more control. Throwing on 4-1, come on, Joe had complete trust in him. I would be stunned if they kept Williams and let Saunders go.

Al Saunders has never had control of the offense. It would be unfair of Snyder the football genius to blame Saunders for the redskins woes on offense. Gibbs controlled the offense play calling or at least had a heavy influence on what was called. Saunders never really ran 'his' offense. I hope this report is not true.

Be honest here. The Defense was the problem also. Are defense is predicatated on 3 and outs. If a team finds a way to move the ball we are screwed. The players either looked un-conditioned or maybe it's we hired smaller players for speed and they are getting no push and exhausted on long drives. I know we were 8th in the league but look at second half adjustments. Other teams made them GW did not. He lined up his men and said beat me. When we were getting beat he rarely made adjustments or atleast it looked like we did nothing. Fall into a zone and get beat everytime.

I like Saunders. His system works and is proven. Why does it not work here? Is it we have the wrong players for the system? Gibbs always liked big blocking linemen, does Saunders system require smaller faster linemen? Is it the blocking style? Gibbs always lined up his men and played mostly man to man blocking. Al's looks more like zone blocking similar to what Denver uses. If we stay in Al's offense we need a coulple of big WR. He needs total control. GW needs to get lineman who can get pressure up the middle.

I'm not sure who the best coach for the job is but I look at both sides of the ball and see a rusty old classic car with a dent in the door and needs 4 new tires. Yes, I know the dent can be pulled and the rust blasted off and the tires changed which leaves us with a pricless car worth alot but do we have the ability to do it?

How was our defense the problem dumbass

The only choices would be Cameron or Lazor and possibly Musgrave. Cameron was here with Norv before he worked for Marty and it's a Coryell type offense, forget Fassell he's a West Coast Offense type of guy. Musgrave also is a West Coast kind of guy but was here for a couple of years so maybe he learned something?

I wouldnt mind promoting lazor to OC.. Granted he is un proven as being OC but he and JC have a great relationship and has been around for awhile and knows the players

Simply put...our defense dominates first half games. how many times did teams come back in the fourth quarter? thats called A D J U S T M E N T S. GW failed to do that a lot in the 4th quarter. Prevent sucks. Prevent, prevents you from winning.
