Shanahan presser thread

Was interesting to note that today he was nowhere near the podium, someone did say he was in the front row but that's a departure from his norm.

No trophies either. I liked that. I really wonder what they're going to do with Clinton Portis? We gotta get the scoop on that.

SmootSmack, what's the word on the street, bro?

What a message that would send if they cut CP loose.

I think a lot of us are forming our opinion of Snyder based on speculation. We don't know the full extent of his involvement when it came to hiring coaches and bringing in players. I'm sure that he will allow Shanahan and Allen to run this football team. These are guys are great football minds. Why does everyone assume that Snyder will interfere with them running our football team?

I'll bet they wait for March 6, the day they go officially uncapped, to turn Portis loose. It would be nice if it were sooner, though.

I think now more then ever that Marty's main beef was Vinny. If anything I'm starting to think that Vinny was the Dick Cheney of the Redskins.
And Snyder was like Obama thinking he could fix everything with money.

It would appear from the way he sounded he feels as though he can work with Jason but he needs to see more (like offseason preperation and conditioning) from Portis before he makes a decision. He'll be looking for a certain level of commitment from Portis.

Dang you guys go from our whole team sucks and cut everyone to 10/6 in about 10 seconds.

Damn Straight. In fact - I am calling it. Super Bowl.

<<Championship>>.

Not exactly...........DS uses his own money

That's how I feel. Sooner or later, we have to be right. Right? lol

Seems like everything went wrong because of Vinny. Now that he's gone the team could potentially interview Gregg's son Blake (ironically an offensive guy) for a position with the team. I wonder if Vinny was the one who tried to sue the season ticket holders.

Redskins interested in Gregg Williams' son
Redskins owner Daniel Snyder fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams after the 2007 season, ending Williams's successful four-year tenure with the team. Now, it appears that a member of Williams's family could join the first staff of new Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan.

Shanahan is interested in interviewing Blake Williams, Gregg's son, for a position, two league sources said recently. Williams, who holds a degree from Princeton, currently is an offensive coaching assistant for the New Orleans Saints, for whom his father is the defensive coordinator.

Blake assists the Saints' offensive coaches "in all aspects of game preparation, including film breakdown, player and unit scouting reports, the creation of playbooks and during practice," according to the team's website. He served as a coaching intern with the Redskins during the 2006-07 season and last season worked as a defensive assistant under his father with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Obviously, with the Saints seeded first in the NFC playoffs, they're a little busy right now, and the Redskins would have to seek permission to interview Blake. But Shanahan apparently has been interested in Blake for quite some time, and he plans to move aggressively to complete his staff, the sources said.

Nice Dirtbag, I had no idea about GW's son. If he's part of the Saints offense it can't be bad.
