If You Ran the Redskins...

Doesn't he have a bit of a reputation for dropping passes though?I'm sure. It's probably why New Orleans doesn't want him on the field.

Still for what he would cost, I'd be ready to pull the trigger. We really badly need a gunner on punt team as well.

I sign Hanynesworth.......trade for Johnson and get a elite Center, Move Jensen to RG start Heyer and Tell Zorn, make it work or take your ass back to Seattle

Any names? When I think "elite centers" nobody really pops into my mind. Jeff Saturday I always liked but that guys been locked in with the Colts for like ever.

1. Sign Michael Jordan. Why? Because he's freaking Michael Jordan.

2. Clear cap space for 2010 when Lebron James, Chris Bosh, and Steve Nash become free agents.

3. Scrap points one and two. I just realized that basketball players won't help a football team. Then again Lebron and Bosh would make a hell of a receiving corps especially with Nash throwing to them.

However in all seriousness I feel like it's way to early to decide what I'd do. So much of it depends on who's the head coach next year. In all honesty I kind of think it would be more fun to play this game if we considered Cowher coming here next year, but the more level side me seems to think that Zorn really should stay as head coach and as well as the fact that we really need to get out of this endless cycle of turnover that has been a hallmark of the Snyder era. Still there are things that need to be done weather or not Zorn stays or goes.

- DeAngelo Hall needs to be resigned. I don't care if it's a contract comprable to what the Raiders gave him, the guy can play and so far he's kept a low profile. On top of that he wants to be here, this was the team he grew up rooting for, and it's not like we're not competive.

- Get a pass rushing OLB. One way or another we're going to need this, weather we end up with a 3-4 system under Cowher or the same system under Blache. Personally I think that Blache's schemes technically are more ideal for a LB that can pass rush then a DE that can get to the Quarterback as from what I've seen Blache doesn't seem to give the DE's a whole lot of leeway when it comes to getting after the passer as he's hell bent on stopping the run most of the time. And of course if we switch to a 3-4 well this is a given. Still amongst all turmoil the defense is definately not to blame.

- Situation permitting a DT to replace Griffin with the ability to get a push inside. I personally find it hard to fault our DT's consdiering how we've been effective agaisnt the run most of the time but some of the people around here have a point in regards to the situation as it relates to our pass rush. Again though addressing the alternate universe possibility a quality NT that could rotate with Montgomery would be ideal.

- Really start to think about Campbells future. Do I want to give this guy a lot of money to stay and hope that after all this time he ends up with an Eli like breakthrough or do I consider letting Collins and Colt duke it out in training camp. The funny thing is the franchise tag might be the way to go.

- Name names on the O-Line. I'm tired of hearing oh we need to blow up the O-Line like there will be no consequences. Yeah screw the salary cap get rid of Jansen thats still 9 million against the cap in a year in which we will be hard pressed for space. Especially with the possibility of signing two top flight corners.

Wanna get rid of Randy Thomas? Lol, r u touched in head? We can't feasibly get rid of him until Obama has to run for office again. I personally would seriously consider moving Jansen to LG considering the requirements for the position and his current skillset. And if Rhinehart shows he can play RT these next few games then we might have ended up finding something special. Plus if theres a better option available at Center then consider letting Rabach go. Gross is also a free agent that should get serious consideration even though we probably won't be able to afford him.

- Listen to Wilbon and draft players in the trenches. I don't want to hear about some Draft Board you got etched in stone especially considering the fact that you remind me of those crazy religous people that always seem to have God conviently on their side when defending their point of view no matter how wrong it is. To put it in simpler terms I think Vinny is either full of shit or manipulating the board to favor recievers. Rod Gardner, L. Coles, C. Russel, T. Jacobs, B. Lloyd. Thats funny considering the fact that we were able to get productive play out of Samuals and Jansen since 2000 and yet this team is still hell bent on finding recievers. Even the Falcons who at the time reached for Matt Ryan knew they had to build up front. Ironically this is one of the reasons I want Cowher, in giving him full control will all but insure that the team finally focuses on fortifying the trenches.

- Consider pouncing on the possibility of finding a RB in FA or the draft (around the 2nd or 3rd round) to help take the load off Portis. I love the guy but I fear that pretty soon he won't be able to walk let alone play considering the beating he's took since his time here in Washington. In an ideal world I would like to find the next Michael Turner (technically the one that backed up LT in San Diego). At the very least draft Sellers replacement around the 5th or 6th round and consider giving the big man more carries.

- NO MORE RECIEVERS. YOU'VE MADE YOUR BED NOW LIE IN IT. If anyone in the Redskins FO makes a serious attempt for CJ I will find you and when I do I shall unleash the fury to end all furies. You got 4 big guys to throw to USE THEM (for those of you counting at home Thomas, Kelly, Davis, Cooley).

That will be all for now.

1. Re sign Hall. He will be the leader of the secondary. I would sign Hall (for the right price) before I sign Rogers
2. Release M. Washington: I think we all know why
3. Sign at least two big name free agents (preferreably on each line). Synder has surprisingly gotten away from the big splash the last few offeasons.
4. Draft an OLB in the first round. (Rey Malauga USC)
5. I agree with you D-Bag359 we need to look for a quality back in the 3rd round to get Portis and Betts some air.

Well as far as players go (and I haven't even glanced at free agent possibilities yet) obviously I'd shore up both lines.

Honestly, that's almost all I would do. Bring in 2 good veteran O linemen and really sit down with buges and find out if he wants to be here. If he doesn't I'm not sure where you go for positional coaches next year, given the scheme we're running.

I'd also drop stan hixon, and look at bringing in someone off the pats staff. They get production out of no name receivers and have been for years. Re-sign hall (unless we can trade portis and a #2 pick for that CB from oakland whose name I can't spell or pronounce), make fred davis a #2 TE, and draft running back in an early round regardless of who we have here. (a move we should have made last year)

My draft would be geared toward o line, running back, D-line, and linebacker. I'd trade picks up or down to get impact players at those positions.

I'd stick with Cambell in camp as a starter, but I would keep an eye on brennan and I would make it a point to give him time with the first team offense to see how he fares.

Reduce beer prices to $1.00 and have the cheerleaders cheer from the stands. Sorry its as good as I can do at this time.

lol firstdown you've been on fire lately buddy, keep it up.

My short list:

replace most of our 6-8 million dollar club members like marcus, ARE, andre carter and maybe even springs.

Marcus is slow and doesnt impact the game much if at all. Honestly, almost anyone we would plug in for him could get easily replace his 30-50 tackles a season.

ARE - the 2 rooks should be ready and we should give them a chance to see what they got.

Andre carter - i admit, ive never liked the guy. always thought his "quietest 10 sacks a year" were not worth what we lose in the run game. now those 10 sack years are 5 sack years. not enough production for a guy making 6-8 mil.

Springs - im not a believer in hall, you guys are. if you believe hall can be a starting corner then id let springs and his 8 plus mil contract go. i like the idea of letting springs go, i just dont like the idea that we can stop searching for a replacement corner b/c he got hall (who might want 70 mil over 7 years!)

I would:

1. Bring humility to my position

2. Hire a President to run all football operations

3. Get out of his way

4. Hold him accountable for the long term health of the team, and replace him if necessary if there is a continual and consistent stretch of sub-par football.

I would:
- be checking with my scouting department, make sure they had a good read on the various line players available.

- listen to VC/JZ about the player moves that are available

- meet with JZ after we are done this season's games (however far we go) and review his goals and coaching personnel. Give him the authority/responsibility to fire-hire his staff to fit his methods.

- authorize the spending needed to bring in competitive talent both on field and coaching

- sit in my owner's box and Scream "YEAH!!!" when we beat our opponents (oh and watch all the cheerleader practices! :) )

I completely disagree with the Rogers/Hall comment. Hall has hands and that's awesome. We could use it, but he's not as good (at least right now) as a healthy springs or rogers. Rogers has been playing some outstanding football this year and has been much of the reason our D has been as good as they have been. With a none existant pass rush this guy has manned up week after week with the league's elite recievers, often with little to no help, and consistently shut them down. He's a gem.
