RI: Allen: 'We're going 100 mph getting ready for free agency'

Bruce Allen repeatedly have described our aim as "playing Redskins football." Does anyone know exactly what Allen means by that phrase?
Dan Snyder - when Zorn's firing was announced -“This has been an extremely difficult season for our organization and for the fans. Bruce Allen spent many hours examining the football operations, and we are both determined to do whatever it takes to build a championship team. That process begins today.

Bruce Allen - "I just know that last place is not Redskins football," "Last place two years in a row is not Redskins football."

Dan Snyder - After the win in Dallas (that seems oh so long ago) - "Redskins football is violent, physical, violent f****** football! If we play that way we will win...if we don't...we will lose. "

Basically, Dan has a vision of what football should be and he calls it Redskins football, Bruce Allen is simply echoing the team owner's desire to play hard nose, winning football.

As I understand it, the Redskins have no plans to even entertain trade offers for Cooley. That could change of course. They do want to add some picks though.

That said, "formulating early trade ideas" is a bit misleading. He said it was standard practice for NFL execs attending Super Bowl week to interact with each other, discuss possible trades, do some "scouting/recruiting" discuss league issues (i.e. labor agreement). They're formulating trade ideas just like every other team not named the Saints or Colts is doing this week

Good points.

Even though I wouldn't be against them at least hearing offers for CC, I can see why they don't feel the need to go down that road.

I would hate to lose Cooley. Not only is he a gamer with...TALENT. He seems to be well grounded in the reality between team loyalty and the business side of the NFL.

I'm looking forward to seeing Cooley play this year. In a REDSKINS uniform!

i think bruce allen gives a few examples right here:

Bruce Allen-"We're going to be a disciplined team." BA on Shannahan-"He wants us to be in top shape physically and he wants players who want to get better mentally. So much of this game is preparing during the week."


i'll add my own thoughts of what he means:
win, lose or draw, the redskins are gonna be a tuff,disciplined,smart,competative,ever improving football team.they're gonna practice hard,prepare hard and play hard each and every week.

Today marks a month from the beginning of FA signings.

at 100mph, that means the Redskins will have covered 67,200 miles when FA starts.

If the circumference of the Earth at the equator is 24,900 miles, that means the Redskins will have travelled around the globe just about 3 times (or a quarter of the way to the moon) to find Redskins Football players!

Of course, BA may have been speaking figuratively, but maybe not :-)

i hope they're getting good gas mileage.

I like it. I like it alot.

this is depressing..."changing offense, changing defense", can someone say rebuilding. Hopefully its not a 4-12 season

So do you want to keep the old crappy offense? We're 4-12, w/ a new coaching staff, thats what they do. If it takes a year or two of bad teams to have 10 years of success isn't that worth it?
