Post your questions here

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

What position do you feel the redskins should target with their first round pick or do you believe they should go for a best player available option?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Hiya BMitch! You are a legendary return man. Thanks for taking the time with us.

Was there a particular return that you feel was your very best special teams play?

Not to take away from all the other amazing career moments of course.

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

I'd like to ask him more than two questions

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

BMitch. Are the Skins going to ever figure it out? Are they going to get rid of the drama and overpaying players older players and return to being one of the elite teams in this league?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

If you were GM of the Redskins what would your offseason priorities be and how, specifically would you accomplish them?

Can the Skins cut (or not re-sign) a significant portion of there older players and still be competive or are we doomed to a 2-6 win season by conducting a roster overhaul?

Based on the players you would retain, (who would be they be), what sort of team would you expect?

As an experienced player cut by the team (foolishly in my opinion), what does the remaining team lose/gain when such a player is cut? Are there benefits in doing so before a player has reached the end of his playing days?

What players (offensive and defensive) playing today would have excelled when you were playing and why?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

There are 3 QBs on the roster. Can any of the three thrive in the Mike/Kyle Shanahan offensive system?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Bmitch thanks!

You were a well remembered trash talker on the field, with whats been going on in the press this pass week between Pats vs Jets, did you ever talk like that in the press? Is it appropriate to talk trash in the press vs on the field? Does it give a team an advantage in the locker room, in your opinion, leading up to the game and if so who has the advantage the aggressor or the team that is quiet?

Thanks again

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Bmitch-


It seems that there is this conflicting identity of the Redskins front office throughout the last couple of years. On one hand, we're told that we are a rebuilding team... trying to draft young talented players, install and offense, etc. On the other hand, we seem to have a win now approach (see D. Mcnabb, Haynsworth's contract, etc). I have three questions.

1) Do you think that the current front office has the ability to accomplish both (a la Patriots) during their tenure?

2) Can Redskins fans stomach Snyder coming out and saying, "Hey, We're going to suck for a few years... but it's in order to rebuild... so bear with us"

3) Do you think winning, and winning alone will be enough for Redskins fans to forgive and forget Snyder's management of this football team for the past 10 years?

Thanks B-mitch. Love your stuff on both TV and Radio... keep it up.

Whats the deal with Norv Turner?

Why did Michael Westbrook give Stephen Davis a beatdown?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Greetings Brian, Long time fan....first time.....question....asker?
Thank you for taking the time!
If you were running the Skins Draft effort on D-day, how does it go down?
Most importantly, who's your guy (Or do you trade down) at #10?
Thank you Brian!

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Brian,

1) What would you consider Joe Gibbs best coaching accomplishment? The 1992/1993 season when you guys lost to the 49ers 20-13? That team was injury riddled and you had to start. The other is the 2007 season when Sean Taylor died, the Redskins were 5-6 and Joe Gibbs took them to playoffs despite of it all and with Todd Collins. To me, those 2 years were his best coaching despite all the setbacks.

2) Were the 1991 Redskins the best team of the 70's,80's, 90's like ESPN computerized game claims?

Thanks.

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Hey BMitch when are you and CP going to scrap?

No seriously

What impresses you most about Brandon Banks in the future? Can he be a Devin Hester for the Redskins?

Thanks

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

What is your take on the pending CBA?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

As a college QB yourself who excelled in the NFL but not at his college position, what is your take on Cam Newton? He's obviously a great athletic talent, but is he an NFL QB?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Good questions, I'll be sending them to him tomorrow afternoon. So keep them coming until around Noon tomorrow.

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

B-Mitch,

You tend to tell it how it is, even when us Redskins fans don't want to hear it and I appreciate that about you! My question to you is, in your opinion, what would be the best use of Washington's 1st round pick? Trade down for more lower picks and rebuild the offensive line and the defense, or use it on a QB?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Why aren't you officially a part of the Skins coaching staff, player recruitment/development, or scouting? We need you on the inside of the organization.

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

BMitch thanks for the time. Love the way you aint scared to ask real questions and how you keep it real. Still got my Bmitch jersey.

Earlier this year you complained how Shanny disrespected McNabb by his end of the season benching and you said Snyder should have jump in and said something but for the last few years you and all of us have said he needed to stay away. Now he finally does what we wanted and you jumped all over his decision for not speaking up or putting his foot down on the subject. (106.7 the fan)

Do you think Snyder should get more involved in decision making and if so why?

Shanny in your eyes is he a Egomaniac who is out of touch with running a team what are your thoughts on him and do you respect him? You seemed really angry with his decisions.

Kyle what are thoughts on him is he just daddy's boy or is he the real deal, because you blasted him as well. Do you think he sabotaged Mcnabb?

McNabb did you not get tired of seeing all those ball over and under thrown. His since of non-urgency when it came running the offense. he made alot of mistakes not running out of bounds to kill the clock throwing INT's. Whats your take on #5 does he not have it anymore or was it the offense we are running?

My take on the Eagles trading McNabb to us was that they had no respect for us as an organization and they knew Mcnabb wouldnt hurt them because of our past for drama which we didnt fail to prove that point, but they thought as a whole that we are so dysfunctional that we could never hurt them with a good QB even with P Manning couldn't help this team. Thats why they traded him here and they figure we give him a payday as well.

I like your style on air but I just cant get the whole wanting Snyder stepping in on the McNabb thing I just didnt understand your thinking and the other guy agreed with you and I was like what are you guys for real after all the hoopla made over Snyder being always involved in things he stays out and the first thing I hear is where is Snyder. Correct me if Im wrong. thanks for your time

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

If you had one player on offense and one player on defense to build around, who would they be?

Are there any players on the current roster that would have been significant contributors on any of the SB teams you played on?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

Do you think if ran the 4-3 this year Albert would have complied with the team rules or do you think he would have acted the same? Do you think we will make the 3-4 work?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

You're the only thing we have who was a part of the pre free-agency glory days and the debacle of a organization we have largely been since the mid 90's. Considering you have first-hand knowledge of a successful modern org (Philly) what in your opinion is wrong with the org at the foundational level? What could fix it?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

What are your thoughts on getting in the hall of fame? I believe that you deserve to get in but what will have to happen to make that happen? Do you even worry about getting in the HOF? Any other thoughts on the HOF?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

What's your take on the new rules regarding the Return Game as it seems despite the wedge being illegal, more and more kicks are being returned for long gains. Are these new rules forcing Special Team coaches to be more creative or are teams fortunate to be in the middle of an era where more quality returners are available?

Re: Warpath Q & A with Brian Mitchell
 

What are your thoughts on Rex Ryan running in the end zone after that TD and the whole teams actions at the end of the game?

They come off like a bunch of disrespectful POS's. They played good but there seems to be no class there even, Bart Scott's interveiw he sounded like he was doing a promo for the WWE.

Ok, locking this now.
