Announcement: Exclusive Interview with Former Redskin Matt Bowen (Post Your Questions)

Hey Matt! Considering Coach Zorn has never had any experience as a HC in the NFL, do you think he would have been better served to have surrounded himself with assistants with more NFL experience in their current capacity? Our OC was a RB coach and some of the other assistants only have college experience. Should Zorn relinquish some of his responsibilites, such as play calling? I enjoyed watching you play man. Thanks.

Good question. Was going to post the following until I saw your post:

What kind of teammate was Sean Taylor? Can you tell us something that we probably don't know about him?

Although you were a saftey, I'm sure you had alot of secondary meetings. Gregg Williams always drove Redskins fans crazy by playing the corners 5-10 yards off the line of scrimmage. It seems Greg Blache has adopted the same thing (granted, I know its not on all plays, but on a 3rd and 4 why are we 7 yards off teh ball)... is there any reasons for this? Why do they do that?

Thanks for taking the questions... you were actually my dads favorite player when you were on the team. I think its from when you layed out someone in training camp, he loved you.

What is your opinion of Clinton Portis as a team-mate? I know you played with him for just two years, but with the rumors coming out now that he is not well liked... did you have any interaction, positive or negative with CP?

In the past week we've heard 2 prominent, starting players kind of 'call out management' by saying the problems start with ownership and we don't have the right personnel. When players start to say this and it echoes what EVERYONE ELSE says, does it resonate with management where they will start to take heed and reassess things?

How would you advise the current players to deal with the turmoil that is surrounding the organization.. and how can you relate to such experiences?

Thanks,
Shawn

Matt, what do you think of our young WR's, Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly? Why are they having so much difficulty getting it going in the NFL?

Hey Matt if you were the Owner of the Redskins would you hire a GM and if so who would it be? Also what available coach do you think would be a good fit to coach the Redskins? Enjoyed watching you play for the Redskins , to bad it was very brief. I know you had some problems staying healthy which may have shorten your NFL career. Look forward to reading your feed back.
