It won’t change much since Ron isn’t any better but at least it shows the owners care

Brent Vieselmeyer fired too (he was DB's coach replacing Chris Harris).

Not sure it's gonna change anything but the calls for blood were getting too loud to ignore.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

Yawn... Too little too late.

Clean house

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

Bye dust up

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

I’m glad they are gone too little too late is correct but something had to be done !!

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

It won't change anything, but still totally worth doing. JDR was absolutely pathetic at his job. We can't get any worse, so try something else.

Kind of funny though, Rivera fires JDR, then in 5 weeks he will be fired too.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

First win of the season as far as I’m concerned!
Things are looking up!

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

And my hunger is sated! At least for 2-3 weeks, then they will need to feed me a new GM.

Agree. Now it’s time to tank for the 3rd pick

should have been fired after he ran his mouth. he's a disrespectful bitch.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

Question is who replaces them, even just interim? Who on the staff can step up?

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

Sorry but how do you blame him after you trade two of your top Defensive players?

[quote=Giantone;1353171]Sorry but how do you blame him after you trade two of your top Defensive players?[/quote]

Pretty simple, the defense was insanely lousy this year even with Sweat/Young.

49 pass plays of 20 or more yards allowed this season. No interceptions in our last 6 games. No takeaways in our last 3 games. Last in points, somewhere near last in total yards. Somebody had to pay the price and he was first man up.

Agreed. Read this post from Harris: [url]https://twitter.com/Commanders/status/1728083012179435570[/url]

First time I heard the ownership acknowledge there was a problem with the product. I wasn't buying what Punch was believing that next year would be better, but at least now I know we have a shot at a better defensive coordinator next year. Still not sold RR isn't back until I hear it or ownership suggests his performance needs to improve or else. But at least this is the third step in the right direction.

The receptionist at Redskins Park couldn't do any worse.

Ron can take over as DC and designate someone else to handle time outs and challenge flags.

Kendall Fuller as Player DB Coach.

Either Rivera or ST coach will take over D duties. Would like to see coach Z or RK myself.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

It doesn’t matter. This is the token firing everyone wanted. Whoever steps in could have us playing like the 85 Bears and the season is over. This should have been done weeks ago if it were to matter for this season. Either way it is on the checklist of things to get done.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

This means at a minimum, we will have a new DC next year. Definitely a checklist item.

Exactly. It has been obvious for weeks (years imo) that this staff was a detriment. At this point , now or in January is the exact same thing. But like I said. One step gone and many more to go so it is still progress. Timing is just meaningless.

You need to think of it as Christmas as a child. Every gift has a purpose. You start with a big one (new owner), then as other people open gifts you get a small one (extra draft picks), just when the agony is getting to much as there is a lull in action you get another small one (firing of the inept DC). Eventually you will get the thing you wanted for Christmas a rebuild.

The proof is in the pudding and it tastes like defeat

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

2 things that stand out this season as problem areas, OL and CB’s. Harris left as CB’s coach, Matkos was fired as OL coach, both replaced by 1st time coordinators. Rivera is ultimately in charge of those decisions and should be held accountable

Trust me B-More it has been Christmas since Dan left. Even after our 2 and 0 start I was preaching patience and looking forward to 2024. I knew all along this season was going to be a disaster.

In this case though it is like we started opening gifts and I got a stocking stuffer. Had this happened four weeks ago id have considered it an actual present.

We all know that Rivera needs to go. Harris just threw us a bone for now but he'll get around to firing Rivera when he feels the time is appropriate.

I know that, my point is what an incompetent coach Rivera is, not having replaced those departing coaches with proven ones and to boot waits till training opens to appoint his OL coach.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

CB coach was bad clearly but our corners also suck. BSJ is always getting burned because he’s slow and not quick. He’s not a man corner and never needs to be.

Fuller same thing

Forbes could be but dude is like 150 pounds, he won’t last in the NFL unless he adds more meat.

Well, I said I wouldn't watch til at least someone was fired.

Guess I'm back in #httr

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

29th ranked defense.....he had to go.....

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

Ron will be gone .. EB is gonna get cut .. the new GM will hire the Head coach and that guy will assemble his staff … EB failed as much as anyone.. No more excuses .. There were play calls in the Dallas game that were horrible .. high school crap .

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

If they let EB go then I’m assuming they’ll bring in a QB they like to, unless the new staff loves Sam.

Re: Del Rio Fired
 

If Howell stays healthy and posts 5000 yds with our OL, and the new staff doesn't like him, I will seriously question the new staff, especially if they use all the draft capital to move up 3 or 4 spots.

I will say with a new owner, lots of draft picks, lots of cap, and basically a clean slate I think our team is finally a marketable location for an up and coming GM and HC team

LOL. That's a joke, right?

It's been 30 burger after 30+ burger all year, with or without those two.

This should have happened weeks ago.
