But it is who I wanted you to say, and that is just as important.

But seriously, are you going to say Haslett?

I'm hearing reports that Raheem was promoted and Haslett will move to an assistant position.

Also I'm hearing reports that shanny mandated a 3-4 and that Haslett would rather run the 4-3

JG said we will run a 3-4

If it's Raheem (and given the theme for today) are we going Tampa 2?

That wouldn't be such a bad thing. One thing the Raiders can do is play special teams

So are we going to be the Hard Knocks team this year?

I think it would be fascinating.

Keeping the Defensive Coordinator of what has been a "bottom 10" defense the last 2 seasons? Check.

What, me worry?

I'm optimistic about this. You see every year he's been there Marv hasn't had a losing season. We need Consistency in washington, you can't get to the show if you can't even show up at the dance to get there. Gruden's QB's don't get seriously injured either oh and HE tells it like it is.

See Hard Knocks rant.

That would be spectacular.

Gruden and Griffin are going to get along really well. Both are brutally honest, but also very positive personalities.

I'm not quite as convinced that he's the best person to develop him as a passer, but McVay and the QB coach hire will have a hand in that too.

Why? Dalton has improved every year under Gruden. If Griffin threw 30+ td's like Dalton did, the fans would wet their pants. I think he's the perfect guy to develop Griffin. The real question is can Griffin develop?

Hate it.

Or the interviews were in case plan A didn't come together.

Nothing was a guarantee.
