Veteran punter Hunter Smith to get workout

[MTK]

I thought most were in favor of Williams when he got drafted.

Yes and No. I kept getting the feeling I was missing plays here and there and I was not even drunk. lol. I had to keep going back and think about each play cause it just felt like out of the blue we were going 1st down, 2nd down, then I'm seeing us punting.

I didn't hear any of the comontary by the announcers so I had no idea the punter was injured but also didn't think the punts were to bad other then the blocked punt.

- Drafting Jason Campbell in the first round of the 2005 draft
- Promoting Vinny to EXVPOFO
- Not hiring Gregg Williams
- Hiring Zorn
- Drafting 3 pass catchers in the 2nd round
- Not fixing the O-Line
- Signing Haynesworth to a $100 million contract
- Bringing Zorn back
- Hiring Haslet
- Switching to the 3-4
- Not resigning Red Snapper and Hunter the Punter

Just to point out a given..... Cerrato was responsible for about 80 to 90 % of all that crap.

-Drafting JC? I don't know but I really wonder if he would have been drafted.
-Promoting VC. lol "Hey Danny I can get more accomplished and the team will respect me if I'm the VPOFO."
Not hiring GW. Vinny couldn't get along with him.
Hiring Zorn. No one would work with Vinny. Other then Zorn. lol.
Drafting 3 pass catcher 2nd round. Vinny wanting flash instead of firing the position coach for not doing his job.
Not fixing the OL. Thats not a flashy enough move for VC. Besides with crossed eyes the OL looks good.
Signing AH. VC had to get him at whatever the cost. Can't let anyone out bid for him. Flash and Splash.
Bringing Zorn back. They didn't bring him back, he never left. To fire him would be VC admitting he was wrong. Plus no one else would take the job working with him. Zorn last resort.
Hiring Haslett. I questioned this idea and said it was a bad idea and people informed me that I was an idiot. Word was Haslett won some semi pro football championship and was a HC twice.
Switching to the 3-4. I think we all knew this would be a problem especially when some of you Madden coach's out there said we didn't have the right personel to run the 3-4. It's going to take a couple of yrs to get the right personel....which is why I felt the term "Rebuild" should have been used. Lower our expectations and if the team did well we would have been excited vs. let down with the whole "we are making a run at this" statement.
Not resigning the Red Snapper. I like old Red but has the new guy really been bad? He flubbed one FG snap, but otherwise I thought he has played well?

Excellent description. Especially the "uninspired" part. The Rams showed up to play; we just went through the motions.

With Philly coming up this was a trap game, no doubt. And boy did we get trapped.

What drives me the most nuts about the Skins is that it seems like EVERY f-ing year, the Skins are the team that some kind of record is broken on. Whether is be the Lions losing streak or a "career" game for someone, it's ALWAYS the Skins.

Bid farewell to Bidwell. Jeez, his lapse in consistency hit at the WORST time in the Texans game.

Not sure why we replaced him and the Red Snapper. Those are two positions that if they are not broking leave them alone.

Add the defense to your list of things that weren't broken. Our personnel does not fit a 3-4. Carter looks lost in space, Haynesworth is disinterested, and the corners are average at best in this scheme.

Rookie QBs OWN the Redskins - I heard a stat cited that the Skins are 0-6 in their last six meetings versus rookie QBs. That is truly astonishing.

I've started to learn to trust the bad first impression. In fact the only bad first impression that I can think of that turned out to be completely wrong was drafting Trent Williams. Can anyone else think of an example of bad first impression that turned out to be overblown (ie when we rejected the null)?

This team seems like that Tom Hanks movie MONEYPIT. In all honesty, I think SNyder/Cerrato/Zorn and even small issues prior zorn- has set the team back years, add onto ANOTHER new coach/off and def cord and need to fill team with personel and we are looking at another couple of years to rebuild. Nothing is gained from chaos. What the team needs is no more bone head FA players/coaches, time to solidify, good drafts, and players who want to be in the system.

True, but good teams win these games.

Yay! Hunter the Punter!

A ray of sunshine on a cloudy day...

Now let's ditch Sundberg.

[FRPLG]

I am baffled how anyone can be a member of a board like this and not be clear on who our punter and long snapper is. I have seen at least two people completely whiff on our long snapper so far in less than 30 posts. Hell, it was sort of a big deal early in camp when he was sucking. Where were you all? Sundberg is our LS.
