Snyder Consulting With Haynesworth

[Skinny Tee]

Haynesworth: Snyder asks "How can we win?" | ProFootballTalk.com

What's your opinion of Snyder reaching out to the people on the execution side of our team?

I personally feel this is somewhat strange. I know I've been hardcore in the Anti-Snyder corner so my perspective could be biased but should the highest level executive in our organization be cavorting and seeking consultation from the lowest level, per field play?

Also, why Haynesworth?...Why not any other player, or all players?...Does Haynesworth know more about football than anyone else or has he acrued experience on our team to be the spokesperson for our squad?


A lot of questions for me with this one but I don't know if I'm seeing the right answers.

Snyder to AH: I'm going to give you 40 mil guaranteed.

Press to AH: Why does your team suck so bad?

AH to Press: IDK he just wants to win.

DH to Press: The build of this team sucks

+1 to DH for telling it like it is.

This isn't anything new, he regularly talks with players.

He's never regularly spoken to Haynesworth before this year so this has to be new.

I think it shows the priority of where he seeks his consul.

1. Highest paid free agents
2. Players who re-sign every year
3. People who have day jobs in NASCAR
4. People who have eyes the size of dinner plates
5. People who have the attention capacity to regularly call geriatric bingo
6. The Tootsie Pop Owl
7. Sonny The Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs Bird
8. A very short sock puppet that wears a dark suit and sunglasses

Typically the owner would be asking these questions to the GM or coach. This is another example of how the lines of communication are screwed up in the organization right now.

Exactly, DS is a truely a loser if expects to get answers from players. My only question for DS, is why not hire a real GM?

He would have probably broken a rule or two if he regularly spoke with Haynesworth before this year because Haynesworth wasn't on this team. Now that would be odd, and out of the ordinary.

As it is...not odd, or out of the ordinary for DS.

As much as I support DS, this is the one area I think he needs to stop this part. I don't think he will, and as always it's his team, but, there are ways to get the pulse without creating a new CP. Although this probably does start the end of CP's connection with DS.

I don't mind Snyder talking with players, but if he wants to ask anyone on our team an opinion on the team's direction, I'm much rather have him doing 30 minute sitdowns with guys like London Fletcher and Chris Samuels. Not a guy who's been a Redskin for all of 7 games.

Albert Haynesworth is a beast who knows what to do on the field, but he's no consigliere or liasion. I wouldn't look to Al as a guy who can be the barometer of this team.

If I were DS and I wanted to get a "fresh slant" on a continuing problem, I would ask.....the new guy

We don't know if he does or doesn't consult those other players also (I'd guess he does) about the team. It's not a big deal IMO.

How dare you post something rational.

[70Chip]

He does this all the time. He buddies up to the players which completely undermines the abilty of the coach to impose any kind of discipline.

Yeah...for being such a business man he certainly shows that he cares little about the heirarchy of authority.

It may sound frivoluous but it does have a place in well run organizations. I'm not saying that Snyder can't speak with players at all but the topics they're speaking about should be off limits under these circumstances.

Also any NFL player has biased interests. Isn't this league known for being run like 'a business' and everyone looking out for themselves? Haynesworth's business is himself and who's to say that he isn't giving advice that caters to his career.


Simple point being...Snyder needs to be speaking with someone who has experience and solely the Redskins interest at heart.
