ESPN - Redskins land Mitchell from Seattle - Hashmarks by Matt Mosley

Not surprising.

Ok, let's all panic about this move now

Gmanc711 · 02-12-2008, 10:25 PM

We have more assistant head coach/"Position", than any team in the league lol.

birdz4gibbs · 02-12-2008, 10:28 PM

he was the running back under jim hannifan and the st loius cardinals with neil lomax as their QB ......

Dirtbag59 · 02-12-2008, 10:28 PM

I r elite redsk1n fan. dis is unacceptable grrrrrrrrrrrrr im so angry.

All I'm hoping is that Alexanders drop in production is related more to his health then the coaching of Stump Mitchell.

Stump was a great RB when he played for the Cardinals.

I know I bought my spot for $9.95. I'm now the assistant HC of southeast Georgia Redskin fans.

He had the reputation as a fumbler. In one Game against the Redskins Dexter Manley offered him $50.00 to fumble, and guess what? He did.

I guess we should welcome him aboard.

Great move. Guess Byner will be heading to the Northwest now. Sad to see him go, but this is Zorn's offense and a few of his guys are needed on the staff. Stump finished his career averaging 4.7 ypc. He was a great rec. out of the backfield too and I can remember a few games when he was with the Cards that he torched us. I really like this hire.

otis anderson and roy green i do remember we had some very good battles with the cardinals didn,t we.. i was at the 83/84 nfc east championship game where moseley kicked the winning field goal at my end..
so yes stump was a very solid player and i think a solid hire as well.
thanks to ernest byner for giving it his all in the burgundy and gold as a player and coach....thanks and good luck to ya...

Well two down one to go, get Sherman Smith under contract and the coaching staff is complete. I would be surprised if Smith isn't a done deal tonight or tomorrow.

I feel bad for Byner, wasn't he working with Ozzie Newsome on personnel when he was with the Ravens? Maybe he could help out in that area.

GMScud · 02-12-2008, 11:11 PM

If he creates a good flow between Zorn and our running backs as it relates to the system, then I'm all for it. I don't think this is horrible or great. It's plainly a sound move, and will give Zorn a proper venue to and more importantly an additional teacher for the running backs who will be learning a new offense. Plus it adds someone who Zorn has worked with for a while. I'm cool with it.

mcarey032 · 02-12-2008, 11:56 PM

I thought Byner had re-signed here? I heard that reported on 980 not too long ago. I guess that was wrong.

calia · 02-13-2008, 12:48 AM

This is not a great move. Where's the love for Earnest Byner? The guy did an excellent job coaching for us, he is loved by Portis and Betts (and Rock, even though he's basically a special teams guy now). I am surprised that folks will so quickly cast him aside (for crying out loud he played for the Redskins, unlike Mitchell). So much for consistency.

SmootSmack · 02-13-2008, 12:59 AM

Byner is one of my favorite players of all time. And I do feel bad for him. I wish there could have been a way for him to stay.

But if he's not able to teach this offense as well as Mitchell then it's really of no benefit to keep him here.

And there is often more than one side to a story
