Jerry Gray takes over Media Duties from Blache

God everything that is happening with this team seems like chaos.

Well when people that can't swim get tossed into a pool and start drowning, they go into freakout mode.

Redskins seem to be an organization that can't get their shit together, tossed into a schedule where they seemingly can barely get wins...

Let freakout mode commence.

Could be worse, we could be the Titans or Cowboys.

Honestly, I like Blache's personality and really enjoyed listening to him talk on Thursdays, so i'm hoping its option 4. Like, GMScud, i previously was hoping Grey would take over from Blache at some point, but i'm not so sure any more.

All I know is that whoever is responsible for our defensive backs giving 15+ yard cushions on every play needs to be demoted or fired.

As to option 3, its a worst-case scenario for me. As sick as I am of Zorn and as much as I want him out ASAP, the logical part of my brain knows our chances of attracting someone other than Gruden or Fassel after the seasons over deteriorate dramatically if Zorn's fired mid-season. I mean, why on Earth would a respectable HC come here if we fired our previous coach after somewhere between 19 and 22 games? IMO, the only way Snyder can convince Cowher (HC) and Shottenheimer (GM) (my #1 choice to replace Zorn/Cerrato) is to convince them that he's really changed. Firing Zorn midseason certainly wouldnt accomplish that goal. Remember, the only reason Zorn got the job was because no one else (other than Fassel) wanted it.

It's all apart of the grand scheme of things....like your favorite fast food resturaunt watering down the syrupy soda to make it last longer. ;)

Maybe Blache is just tired. He's got a pretty intense workload outside of just coaching with all these media requirements.

By the way, Smoot has stopped talking to the media as well

I know you get tired of the media Smoot. It's hard being you. ;)

But seriously, what's the real Smoot have to say to the media anyway? He got bumped out of the depth chart last week by Tryon ffs. If you're getting bumped out by a player with 1 year of experience and almost zero playing time, you need to be worrying more about your job security and less about the media.

yeah but Smoot has always talked...hence SmootSmack

Plus with him getting less playing time (and probably realizing it's his last season with the team) why not just talk away?

And what do you mean "the real Smoot" you calling me fake? :)

My guess is Blache is a big grump and would rather focus his time on more important things.
ran out of cute things to say

Smootsmack - when they said Shanahan was the guy did they mention anything about the current Front Office setup? Would Vinny still be part of the organization? Would Shanhan only come if he gets to bring his Front Office people including a new GM and would Synder get out of all things except signing the paychecks and marketing?
I'm guessing it's only what these people believe will happen. I can't see there being a lot of insider knowledge right now, but who knows?

I think judging by how he's handled most of his press conferences recently that this is the most likely scenario. You could tell it was a chore for him.

Zorn said: "Blache really needed a break".

Then why the hell doesn't he retire?
