Greg Blache stands up to Cerrato and Synder...

I can see people being ticked if Snyderato was signing guys against the coaches' wishes, but that's simply not the case.

Move along folks, nothing to see here. Take the drama somewhere else.

heh, nice Matty. The last few weeks ive really admired you moderators, you spend a lot of time balancing discussions and being the devils advocate so both sides are represented even if its not your opinion! Keep up the great work!

Our organization, Danny boy and Vinny included, have really grown since they got here. Originally it was just danny playing madden and signing all the free agents, but later, even though it looked like we were signign everyone, it was the coachs picks not theirs. We went out and got Brandon Llyod, and yes he didtn work out, but its not like he was some big name free agent, the coachs thought he was a great young talent so we traded for him. Sometimes things dont work out but at the time it looked like we would have 'return or the smurfs' and the second coming of the greatest show on turf, but on grass, etc, etc

Thank you and I'm glad that people notice these things once in a while. Sometimes the mods do indeed play devil's advocate for the sake of balanced discussion and too often people misinterpret this as the mods being pro-Snyder.

yea sometimes it seems like a conflict of interest to drink the kool aid, blow snyder, want to make exceptions of who we should overpay for, and talk abotu growing through the draft at the same time as wishing we could get Spurrier to come back from college and golf, but someones gotta keep the peace!

Anyone who really thinks Snyder and Cerrato don't listen to what coaches want should recall the Spurrier years. You can bet it wasn't either of them who were clamoring for Jacquez Green and Shane Matthews.

Me too I rather not remember that time ever.

exactly Smoot, I made this point a few times in the last couple of weeks when we were discussing the coaching decisions.

Yeah I see this as no big deal. As long as coaches are willing to speak up and say what they want, Danny and Vinny have shown that they'll listen. When we'd have a problem is if the coaching staff just kind of said "eh whatever" and took what Vinny gave them.

But there's no indication that is the case.

The issue is more with JLC's wording to me. He clearly has a little bit of a bias against the FO for whatever reason so when he writes a story like this he uses words like "enamored" to indicate that Snyeratto thought this was the greatest idea ever and couldn't believe the coaches disagreed. But in the end they listened grudgingly. I have no idea but something tells me the discussions were more along the lines of "Hey here are some guys who were productive in the past what do you coaches think?" "They suck? Ok. Nevermind."

We have to remember that it is more than likely that most of JLCs sources have some type of dislike for Snyder and the FO. Maybe not at a deep level but the fact that they are anonymous sources on closely guarded discussions indicates they aren't lap dogs for Snyderatto. That probably slants his views.

All in all...move along, nothing to see here.
