If You Ran the Redskins...

If I ran the Redskins...

I would take a rather drastic approach this offseason and look to clear off as many of the bloated deals off our cap that we can. Even if it means taking a hit in the short term, I would like to see the front office make the total commitment to building this team through the draft and we need to trim some fat. Guys like Springs, Marcus W., Griff... some key veterans need to go and we need to get this team younger!

The move to bring Jason Taylor here for a #2 was a horrible mismanagement of resources by Vinny. Just horrible, and it showed that when the chips are down Vinny can't help himself and ends up making a bad decision. Just imagine what that #2 could have been for us this year. A starter along the offensive line? A starter along the defensive line? A starting LB? Well, I'm assuming alot because knowing Vinny we would probably just draft another WR. :vomit:


funny, I'm more concerned about him picking DB

Veterans that we seriously need to look to get rid of:

Springs
Washington
Jason Taylor
Griffin
Rabach
McIntosh (his knees will never allow him to reach his true potential)

I would consider re-signing Hall at a reasonable deal to replace Springs, but he's certainly not worth breaking the bank over. Rogers inability to catch INTs is a glaring issue and I was considering putting him on the list of guys to get rid of, but we probably can't afford to replace both starting CBs in one offseason.

Both lines need desperate attention through the draft and free agency.

Special teams also some big time help at punter and kicker. Spend some loot here in free agency and let's get some capable guys in here already.

The only reason I would consider releasing Taylor is if we used that 8 million in cap space to sign a guy like Suggs or Gross (maybe even both considering that the first year of the contract would have a cap number around $2-$4 million each)

There are a lot of good ideas in this thread but seriously any "If you ran the Redskins" response would have to start with getting rid of VC. He is the only constant other then Snyder in the last 10 years. Regardless of his merrit for the job everyone in this organization has taken the fall for the lack of results except him. I would remove him and hire a proven football man and then pick up with the rebuilding process.

What does "proven football man" even mean?

I don't know...that's TV talk...how about anyone different whether proven or not. This guy has had 10 years...we have even replaced the secretaries since Snyder took over and I don't think it's their fault.

The only time I ever felt like the Redskins were truely going in the right direction since Snyder has owned the team was during the second half of the season Marty was here. VC was gone and Snyder was in the background and the team really seemed like it had a plan and was heading somewhere. And I am probably the biggest Gibbs fan in the world but even during the years he was here you always knew in the back of your mind that he was going to leave eventually and we would be left with VC & Dan again.

Don't forget Suisham, Fabini, Thrash and Smoot.

I want Suisham gone the day after the season ends. I would not even let him come to camp to compete for the job. He fools you by kicking well in August and September but by the time the leaves fall you are left with the same old Suisham and it's too late to do anything about it. That's why I don't even want him in camp, becasue he will fool them into giving him the job again.

Don't forget Suisham, Fabini, Thrash and Smoot.

yeah I said address kicker.

My main focus was on the bigger name guys we have who are not earning their keep. Fabini, Thrash, and Smoot are all fine to me as depth.

lol actually im pretty sure danny did fire a bunch of secretaries and staff when he came in or early on his tenure. i remember alot of danny bashing for that with people saying stuff like "yeah fire her b/c she got the address wrong on that letter and thats why we didnt go to the SB".

go skins!!
