Lets play Redskins Owner... (This is a long rant)
Although this is the halfway point of the season, I have to ask this question what needs to happen for this club to be a powerhouse in the league if you are able to come up with a vision put it out there. As for me it would go as such
First it would start with the Front Office, I'm sorry but Vinny has to go, alot of u may argue with me on this but I feel all he has done is pursued and goten big names we need a recruiting team with substance who will find those late round picks or undrafted gems like a Tom Brady, Atwann Randle EL, Priest Holmes, or more Antonio Pierce type players. Secondly we need someone who can actually negotiate some contracts that are equally beneficaial to the team and the player, and are equal to what the market would pay. Although we are the most profitable team in the NFL. We spend the money like a fantasy football rookie in his first online season. As for coaching we need to give our coaches time and not fire them as soon as we put them in because as we can see with dallas there are no true instant results, sooner or later u gota pay the reaper. I would hire an Young offenseive assistant with an expertise in the passing game, just to bounce ideas off of Gibbs and to keep his mind fresh. Like business, a head coach is only as good as his assistants. Our teams playcalling looks sluggish at times, and in my opinion is a refelection of the age and thought process of our coaching staff which is old. Lastly Keep Williams at all cost.... don't take away what positive point on the coaching staff this team has. As for the offense. I would answer our problems through a little freeagency and the draft. I would completly restructure our line and complement the stars on this line. We need other players who can hold their own, if we need to steal any players in the offseason it needs to be from other teams that have successful line play like the steelers, Chiefs, or the Patriots. We could draft a first round lineman with a real mean streak. but we need to have a group here who can stay in for the long run, and learn to play with each other to get better. The Qb situation for me is like this if ramsey is the future we need to treat him as such. If not move on now and him and brunnel off of the team. No other qb that has came out during this era has been treated with such a lack of trust as he has. Carr, Harrignton, Boller. None of them are in better situations with their teams the franchises have just chose to build around there qb's talents and let the players grow with there teams. I would not chase after a big name free agent or anything else like that. I would hire a coach to work on Ramsey's footwork and mobiltiy skills and make a sound investment in his intellegence and his arm. He can be a Peyton Manning calaber player with proper growth. His relationship with Coles, McCants, the line, and Portis will get better over the years. but it takes a commitment to him and the team we have. The Texans have had a commitment to Carr, Detroit to Harrington, and we need to do the same. Remember before Manning and the colts were the coldest team out there on offense, there was a decesion to build around manning, James, and Harrison. It took atleast three years for that tandem to have the connection they have with each other. I would invest in the best Tight end in this years draft, because that position has become the focal point in the offenses this year with the addition of the new 5 yrd rule other than that every team has growing pains. Defense we need to keep the guys who made play (Ryan Clark), drop the guys who aren't (Barrow) the money going to guys who don't deserve it can go to guys who do. I would just pick up depth in the draft and patch the whole with people that work inthe system. Lets keep Smoot please. What esle would you do, what changes would you make and please critique what I would do. I think we have a good nucleus we just need to invest in what we have and stop going after instant success.
