If You Ran the Redskins...

If I was Dan Snyder...

1. Hire Tom Modrak as GM and cede all authority to him.

Our last 49 draft picks have yielded a total of two ProBowlers (Cooley and the late Sean Taylor). We need a top down change in culture so if I was Snyder--I fire myself and hand the keys to a football man like Modrak. Let him decide if his direct reports --Cerrato, Zorn, Scott Campbell-- should stay or go.

2. Lower my profile except when it comes to community/charity events.

3. Meet with Modrak 4 years to the date you hire him and determine if he deserves an extension or not. If so, great; if not, find a new GM and repeat 1-4...

How about Bobby DePaul (Bears) started with Redskins a few years back.

You some things right except for 2.

Dre Moore is in a practice squad for a reason, not good enough. Cowher is not the answer, replacing Vinny in the FO is the answer.

Well bringing Cowher here would mean that he gets control of the team.

I wouldn't mind him. In fact, I am almost less concerned about the actual person who would be GM--provided it wasn't some outlandish hire.

I am more an advocate of changing the front office business model that Snyder has. I mean we have changed coaches, schemes, players, stadiums, uniforms, and ticket prices over the past 15 years. I think the time has come for a change in the business model...

Screw Cowher he's over rated. 1 SB in 14 years, he's style is boring and conservative like Marty S. I can hear you guys who bitch about our Offense sucking crying if Cowher is hired here. Why don't we just hire Mike Holmgren? Mortensen had him on his rumor mill on him going to Dallas if they fire Phillips. If we fire Zorn he would never come here. I'm being sarcastic.

-Dre Moore was projected as high as the 3rd round by some draftsites

Players like Dre Moore from other teams practice squads are the players that good scouts and GM find.

Look at the practice squad players that we lost, out there helping someone elses team: Marcus Mason RB, Crummey C, Gatewood LB, Richardson DB, Devin Armoshado sp? WR

Look at the practice squad players that we lost that we could use for next year: Marcus Mason RB, Crummey C, Gatewood LB, Richardson DB, Devin Armoshado sp? WR

:twocents:

Then why don't we sign him?

seriously.. what's it hurt to sign someone off of a practice squad? not like we have to give anything away.. no picks + small salary

Then why don't we sign him?
maybe after the year is over if someone else doesn't snag him first
