Casserly Keeping his options open
Interesting read on Charley Casserly and what he is up to. Doubt he will ever come back to Redskin Park but according to Shapiro he lives back in DC now and did not get the NFL position he was seeking....

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
I just read this too, good post. I don't see him comin back, but this article shows how our front office lacks contacts & networking w/in the league, IMO, and CC at least did a good job of finding out about players. If he were here we wouldn't have signed AA.

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
Please explain what you mean, how it shows our FO lack of contacts and networking. That makes no sense. How do you know that he would not have done the AA deal if he was here? Did you speak with him? He was mainly fired from Houston which has won even less games than us over the years so what says he could even help us if not maybe hurt us?

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
Ok, that post wasn't too clear. What I meant is that IMO (based on what I've read like most of us) the FO hasn't done a good job of networking with and making good contacts with other team's FOs. People in any business will often share info w/competitors as long as its not directly linked to them.
Case in point, a recent Washpost article (again, all I have to go on is my reading, I have no inside source) said that several SF players called Skins in the offseason to warn them about dealing w/Loyd. Rexi seemed to have more info on Loyd than Gibbs did. Gibbs made a statement saying that they'd dond their homework on Loyd & didn't see any problems, yet the SF media had reported several times that vet 49er players didn't get along w/him. I could go on, but my point is that it appears to ME that our FO doesn't do a good job of networking w/other teams & it shows in our trades & some fa pickups. |

Did you expect him to say to the media, "Yeah we know he's a pain in the ass but we're going to take our chances". Of course not, as usual he tells the media nothing. |

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
Didn't Casserly draft Heath Shuler?

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
I'd blame that on Norv.
It was a lose/lose that year anyway, it was either Shuler or Dilfer. |

Re: Casserly Keeping his options open
That's true, but it's also ture that Dilfer is the prime example used in the arguement that a team doesn't need a good QB to win a Superbowl.

What the current front office does not do is somehing I wish someone at Redskin Park would be able to pull off was the trade Casserly made with Mike Ditka when we got all the draft picks from the Saints - absolute steal. But I don't see Gibbs working with any GM as he wants to prove to everyone that holding down both the coach and GM positions can work. |
