Around the NFL...Week 5 Style

Why is everyone slamming the potential possibility door of Rex Ryan not wanting to come here. I think he and Shanahan could deal with eachother, being that he's a great DC and Mikes a good OC. I would put my ego aside and get him in a heartbeat.

I know I'm in the minority here but I want to keep our current coaching staff intact for at least the next few years. While the next great coach is always tempting, I'd like to have as much stability as possible.

Is the defense great this year? No, it isn't. We also knew we were going to have to cut corners (pun intended) due to the cap penalty. The defense is going to keep improving as we are able to plug holes and the young guys get better. There is no magic bullet that will instantly turn it around. This year, and most likely next year a well depending on how much cap hit is left, is going to be bad on the defensive side of the ball. I can live with that. I can't live with changing schemes again with a new DC and compounding that with limited cap dollars to find that coaches types of players. I don't see how that's successful.

Morris already has the DC job locked up

Reports out of Cowboys camp have stated that Romo lost his cool in practice and threw his helmet. As expected, the thrown helmet was intercepted.

Morris gets credit for having his group playing tough this season. Both Hall and Wilson are tackling and hitting better overall this season. But I think the scheme is been wrong early and often. At what point do you begin to question Morris too (Haslett's lousiness is already established)?

Cliched but still :rofl:

Honestly, if its a play calling only issue, I dont see how that can be placed on anyone except the play caller. I dont see how we can rail against Raheem if a cover 0 all out blitz is called against a max protect deep ball. Thats a DC getting beat by an OC.

Laron playing well in NY... Pick 6 recently as well.


LARON LANDRY – ... Landry continues to play well for the Jets. He had seven tackles and a pass defended. He was part of limiting 49ers tight end Vernon Davis to two catches on the day. GM Mike Tannenbaum is taking a lot of shots right now, but Landry was a good signing.

Still agree that it was a calculated decision to let him go, given his injury risk, etc --> but if he stays healthy (ha!) -- it sure opens this for discussion. Ironically we replaced him with Merriweather who seems to have had even more trouble staying on the field.

Always hard to look back, but Rogers and Landry both wanted to go, and both had issues. But given our secondary play so far, at least right now I'm now sorry to have lost them.

Merriweather hasn't had trouble staying on the field! he has trouble getting on it...

LaRon's been good but unless he goes on to play all 16 games and heads to the probowl, I still support our decision to let him go.

The Kansas City Star is now doing anything its power to not print the word "Redskin" in it's articles due to its derogatory/racist meaning. Can't say I blame them... they aren't the first and won't be the last to oppose the name. I wonder how long the NFL can continue to ignore this situation.

What's everyones opinion on a possible future name change? Ideas for new names/logos? I think anything to go along with the Nationals & Capitals would be cool. I saw Federals brought up in a blog, maybe something along those lines. The Washington Hogs would be awesome too, keeping a traditional feeling.
