Starting with a better front office might help there...........that should be our first move, but Im sure 99% of you all agree there, so........
2. Get home grown talent, bring the locker room together. I guess this suggestion makes the assumption that guys from the same locale will instill some sort of pride in each other??? Shit, If you are looking for NFL talent in Maryland, Virginia and the DC area, be prepared to be disappointed. Id rather get a bunch of guys from different areas that come together under the Redskin banner, which of course, is possible if we can instill that old sense of pride, bringing the skins faithful back to DC. Of course, that starts with the Front Office again...................

Mechanix544 - what I meant by home grown talent was not locationally but rather building through the draft - picking players who grow through your system. I will say though that if we don't get Russsel Okung the left tackle from Oklahoma State many draft sites actually have Bruce Campbell from Maryland as the next best left tackle prospect. If we got either Okung or Bruce Campbell that would be a step in the right direction.
