Which move would most help the Redskins?

I feel we have lots of talent on offense. Get an O coordinator in here to play today's offense.


What is your definition of "today's" offense?

I voted for neither because I am not convinced either move would help... not quickly anyway... and it is the quick fix every seems to be looking for .

Time will see if what we have will work. If we keep chopping and changing we will never know what we have and we will remain in a constant state of flux and every other team in the NFL rise above us... is that what we really want ?

people forget that gibbs does'nt have charley casserley,bobby beathard,and bobby mitchell like he did his first tour as coach.they were just as important to the skins as he was.they have to get a gm who knows what the hell he's doing if they want to win.cerrato just ai'nt the answer unless the question's stupid!!!

An offense that can score more than 18 points? One that has more than a two receiver set? An offense with some balance?

Maybe hiring both people would help, but the first thing I'd hire would be a GM with an eye for young talent that will play for small salaries.

Pioli in New England or Banner in Philly or Wolf in retirement are the names that come most immediately to mind.

Casserley would be OK too.

Just don't let anyone associated with that trainwreck in SF be on the Skins' "short list". :frusty:

The Pats aren't that far under the salary cap but they have made excellent player acquisitions in free agency and the draft. Philly has done a pretty good job in free agency but their drafting is mixed (Pinkston and Mitchell are 1st round disappointments whereas they've drafted good DBs). But, Philly has been a consistent playoff contender and is well under the cap.

I also agree that Casserly was quite good too.

As for Cerrato, I don't think you can cite S.F.'s cap woes and rebuilding as evidence of his failure. Most teams have 4-5 year plans that envision a "rebuilding phase" in the 4th or 5th year. San Francisco was in the playoffs several times before the cap went came back to bite them.

We need a fresh offensive coordinater. With the money the skins have there is no reason we can't pull in another offensive "consulatant" or whatever to provide more input. I'll probably get ragged hard for saying this but... I wish we had Norv Turner back as the offensive coordinator. He wasn't the kind of guy that could motivate, but with Gibbs pushing the team and Norv and Greg running the o and d I think we would be unstoppable. :D

So Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl a couple years back on yesterday's offense (that was modeled after Joe Gibbs' offense?)

Its the players not the system.....you haven't even SEEN the system yet...because our receivers refuse to catch the ball consistantly.

I agree with the notion, Gibbs made a mistake on Brunell. But everyone makes mistakes, EVERYONE. Even Ozzie Newsome made a poor draft decision in Travis Taylor. Joe, I forgive you, and i know you can do it!

We have made very good moves other than Brunell, and Brunell was all Gibb's, I heard a rumor that Snyder and co. didn't want Brunell but Gibb's had the final say, Portis will be fine IF we accomadate the blocking scheme for him, G. William's talked Gibb's into Taylor, how good does that move look right now? I think it look's pretty good considering Winslow is out for the year and Cooley look's like he will be a tremendous TE for us, I think we are fine as far as talent evaluation I just feel we have to stay away from the big free agent's this year, trade Samuel's, Gardner, and Morton, for whatever we can get in draft pick's, then deal down our #1 to mid to late first rd. and go after linemen on both sides of the ball, and a bonified game breaker at kick returner that is how I believe we have to attack this draft. I don't think Gibb's put's enough stock in the draft as he should, if he changes I hope it is to look to the draft for our need's and not overpaying for established talent.

I'd love for them to find some way to get Russ Grimm on this coaching staff. However, I think a front office move would be more beneficial.

So with that in mind I'd suggest they bring in a name that has been mentioned before, Tim Ruskell, assistant general manager of the Atlanta Falcons
