Interesting Fact

could have been under Marty, he cut a lot of players that most of us loved. Its not that they were bad cuts, the players were either old or injured in almost all of the cases. But they cut a lot of what Gibbs would call 'core redskins'

but wasn't the excuse for cutting centers something stupid like his workout routine or something like that. none of that pissed me off as much as marty trying to teach Mr. Green how to play cornerback. the only action I ever liked marty for doing was when he claimed deion off of waivers so the raiders couldnt get him for the playoffs. i thought that was funny as hell him getting picked up by the coach who made him want to retire.

Did you guys know that under Gibbs the Redskins only ever drafted in the first round four times, and traded the pick away for vets the rest of the time?
Drafted Mark May, Darrell Green, Bobby Wilson and Desmond Howard. Only the first to did much for the Skins.

Bobby Beathard and Charlie Casserly made their great reputations by getting GREAT players at the bottom of the draft and undrafted rookies. We got great cheap players to compliment the stars. Joe Jacoby, Darryl Grant, Monte Coleman, Neil Olkewiezc ETC.
Today we have a salary cap and a bloated budget. We have to depend on the charity of our players to renegotiate and extend their contracts to survive. Then we get a player like Samuels who does not want to do this. Our draft picks are very important, especially our our success at finding good talent with our lower picks. Problem is Cerrato/Snyder are not very good.

You would think that we would have been good when Spurrier was here. When Jimmy Johnson became a coach he had some of the best drafts in history because he was a college coach and knew a lot of the college coachs and could get inside tips on who looked good. Im surprised Spurrier did not speak out more about players that he saw that were good. Granted, he really didnt have to many late round picks, but I still think he could have been more of a contributer.

It always works for the first few years. but yes, we never were in cap hell after all the people we signed in 2000, or 2001, or 2002... I wonder if The Redskins Organization is going to be the next Enron.
That's funny!

Brian Mitchell was cut during the Turner years.

If Mitchell isn't signed by someone we should sign him for a day so he can retire a Skin. He was alway's a solid team player for many years with us. I was bummed when we cut him! He was definitley won of mr favorite all time Redskins.

Agreed, but the fact that he went to two division rivals kind of irks me...

but that also shows how much he probably felt he was disrespected by the skins.

I wonder if he would even want to come back to DC. He always showed a lot of emotion when he played us, and in pregame interviews always was seemingly trying to get back at us.
