If You Ran the Redskins...

I would look for a way to trade Portis for picks (like Dallas did with Walker). I know he's dinged up but he's having an MVP season and his value wont get higher. Hopefully they could draft some linemen and begin the process of building this team from the inside out.

I see the Portis situation like Lavar where they could have traded him and got something in return but instead the skins hang on too long, nagging injuries add up, he cant play, Skins get nothing.

rebuild the team starting with the offense and defensive lines. I make it policy to think line first- give me superior lines with average skill position players and we'll win games.

Yeah I can see that. I love clinton but it just may not be a fit here anymore. If we could get a decent value I'd trade him. RBs have been pretty thick lately.

The thing is the owner spends enough $ to ensure the Skins never have a 1-15 season so they will never get a #1 pick so they have to go for numbers of picks instead. Trading CP would get them that volume of picks. The skins are stuck in that region where they will never be terrible and get high picks and they will never be championship caliber because the team is just not built like a championship needs to be.

If I ran the Redskins I would do a few things.

1. I would get rid of VC and get a GM in here. A top tiered GM. Someone of the Tenn, Balt, NYG, Pitts mold. Someone fairly young. We have some decent personel staff so that doesn't mean getting rid of everyone here. We need to have a plan and stick to it. This GM might decide to "see what we got" next year w/ personel and coaching. Let's be patient.

2. Working w/ the new GM, I would try to stockpile some picks. If next years draft class is not too good-which i've heard-we can wait-but we need as many picks as possible.

3. Based on our goals, we decide who to keep and who were paying too much money to. On a short list are ARE and AC. Nobody on our team is uncuttable. Nobody.

4. Assess young FA's...Haynesworth, Gross are options.

1. First and foremost I'd get behind my head coach. The front office needs to have this guys back. He needs to be able to bring in his own guys. He gets 3 full years.

2. As much as I think Vinny sucks like a bunch of rotten assholes, he's tied to Zorn. He gets next year and the year after. I'm going to give him 3 full years too. We need some damn stability around here.

I don't disagree. I think we need to stockpile some picks. The FO needs to make the call as to whether we can be SB Champs w/ this core. If the answer is no, well let's try to build something here. Not saying we should, but if the situation calls for it, i wouldn't be opposted. Or any other player for that matter.

I would at least "shop" Portis to see what we could get. We could possibly fill a couple of positions with what we could get for him. I think it would also send him a message that no one is indispensable. Even if we did'nt make a deal he would get the message. Portis is a warrior, but the Lions couldn't win but so much with Barry Sanders and no one else, and we can't go but so far with the lines we have. With the trades we've made lately, picks are needed badly. I would definitely give Zorn more time to install his offense and put his own staff in place. I'm not saying we should trade Portis for sure, but lets look at our options. As I've said before, winning has probably made it harder to get our rookies in to see what they can do. Winning now with the same guys is doing nothing for our rookies or our future. Was the goal to just make the playoffs or to improve our team? It would be nice to do both, but really, this team is not strong enough to go very far even if we did make the playoffs.

The first thing I would do is hire a quality football guy to run the show for me, then I would kick back in my plush office, count my money and play Madden and Call of Duty all day.

I got back into COD4 again last week. I'm addicted to hardcore deathmatch.

Also, if I were the owner there would definitely be verbage in every contract that would allow me to lay with the players wives in a marital sense if the players did not preform well enough on the field.
