Snyder Consulting With Haynesworth

I don't mind Snyder talking with players, but if he wants to ask anyone on our team an opinion on the team's direction, I'm much rather have him doing 30 minute sitdowns with guys like London Fletcher and Chris Samuels. Not a guy who's been a Redskin for all of 7 games.

Albert Haynesworth is a beast who knows what to do on the field, but he's no consigliere or liasion. I wouldn't look to Al as a guy who can be the barometer of this team.
If I were DS and I wanted to get a "fresh slant" on a continuing problem, I would ask.....the new guy

I don't know about you guys but this article is very telling on the problems within this organization...Snyder wants to get the right players to win, no mention of good coaching and good front office work. What an idiot, he has to understand that this is an organization and the players are only a part of the organization, unless you have good, veteran direction coming from above, you're doomed to continue this cycle of paying great players to come and languish on a bad team.

He's never regularly spoken to Haynesworth before this year so this has to be new.

I think it shows the priority of where he seeks his consul.

1. Highest paid free agents
2. Players who re-sign every year
3. People who have day jobs in NASCAR
4. People who have eyes the size of dinner plates
5. People who have the attention capacity to regularly call geriatric bingo
6. The Tootsie Pop Owl
7. Sonny The Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs Bird
8. A very short sock puppet that wears a dark suit and sunglasses

:lol::lol:

This is why it is important for Snyder to hire a good Team President, and allow the President to hire a good GM, head coach, etc...

The best thing Snyder can do is surround himself with great football minds and learn from them. If he truly wants to win and have a championship team again, he's going to have to humble himself and realize that he needs help in the front office. Vinny isn't the right guy for the job.

We don't know if he does or doesn't consult those other players also (I'd guess he does) about the team. It's not a big deal IMO.

That's a rather odd question coming from a hands on owner like Snyder. As deeply involved in the team as he is, having to ask a player what we need to do to win makes me wonder why he does not know the answer already.

Well it's aid that DS still consults with Joe Gibbs often, he has a head coach, he hired another consultant FOR the head coach. Made that consultant the offensive play caller.

Now he is asking AH. What's next?

I wonder if DS has one of those "magic 8 balls" on his desk.

probably does and every side says YES

I think the article is important. It's a glimpse of Snyder "playing" w/ his shiny new toy, similar to how he buddied-up to CP years ago. I doubt Snyder really expects phat Al to have a plan to turn the team into a winner (I mean my God if he were serious in this inquiry Snyder must be the most naive owner in the league), because Albert knows nothing about building a roster and motivating that roster to leave everything on the field and execute to perfection...Albert knows about playing his position.

...the story is just one more reminder of what Snyder refuses to do: hire the best GM available to finally do something w/ this franchise and get completely out of the way. He should be having those 30 min conversations w/ the GM, not phat Al. Everything I hear makes me think Snyder is just further away from doing the right things. I won't be surprised if he goes another 10 years as the biggest failure in football, and at that point who knows if he'll see fit to ever change.

That's the same impression I got when I read it. It doesn't feel like things are heading in a direction of positive change. I wish I was hearing different stories than I am.

In my personal opinion, I see no reason that Vinny Cerrato can't be let go right now. If Snyder is that concerned and with fan sentiment like he is portraying, he could make that one move and shut fans up until the offseason where he hires a successor.


I don't think everything that can be done is being done at this point. Snyder is noted for doing that with our roster so why can't this be done with our front office?
