Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

Gruden's got to make sure he treads carefully though. Breath of fresh air in the short term to call out players. But there will be times he needs to absorb all the blame-Gibbs style-deserved or not

Yeah learning to be a headcoach has some growing pains. Didnt his brother have the same problem? Who did he call out specifically?

Easier said than done.

I don't see any situation outside of the Skins winning it all this year where it will be an easy decision.

Griffin is the big name, and he will probably still have his share of supporters behind the scenes (mainly Snyder).

It's a complicated situation with a lot of variables at play.

Isn't it a damned shame that it's completely reasonable to think that things other than who gives us the best chance to win will be at play?

And that those things will come from Snyder?

It's enough to make me want to quit caring when I realize that the future QB of this team may be made because of marketing decisions, jersey sales, 'popularity', or because we spent draft picks on the guy.

Sickening.

Is producing 41 points what you call game management?

Are we making our decisions based off one game against a terrible team that spent a week preparing for the other guy?

We don't know what the coaches think behind closed doors. I'm sure some want KC and some want RG3. Does Wise have a legit source?

I don't know, I assume not because Mike Wise is a dip shit that just likes to stir the pot on all things redskins related.

The sourced was listed by Wise as "An anonymous person familiar with Gruden's thinking"

Which is a joke and I cannot believe that passes as a 'source' these days. Shows you how far the washingotn post has fallen.

Happens all the time. Politics of the game.

With Griffin out things should have gotten easier for the Jags D, not having to worry about the read option and running threat.

Doesn't happen in quality organizations.

Winning will determine who does what....
Nothing puts the gold in everyone's pockets like......winning

Doesn't happen in quality organizations.

Look at the Patriots the last couple years with Welker and Mankins.

I don't think any organization is immune from politics having an impact on decisions.
