If its the latter he could be just doing it to keep Snyder out of the kitchen ("See Dan, this is why we need the culture change and you need to leave me to run the football operation"). I'm not sold that he'd be deliberately trying to get Snyder to take the blame ("It's his culture") and accelerate the sale of the team.



In reality culture change doesn't happen overnight, except if you have a massive cull (night of the long knives style?!). I wouldn't be surprised if there were remnants of the BA era still muddying the waters. OTOH I'd expect them to be exposed by leaks like these and RR and Jason Wright to be in the process of rooting them out. If so, then they'll be handled the usual way; public firing if they want a message sent (though given the outside view of the franchise that could be pouring on fuel) or they'll be ushered out quietly and the leaks will just dry up.

Good scenarios there.

My issue with the leaks, if they were indeed RR sanctioned, is that they just hurted Dwayne's trade value by quite a lot. Benching him quietly to number 2 while praising gim publicly (thus making the "we're going for the division" narrative more credible) and get on the phone to get as much as you can would have been way better for the team than the leaks and public shades that RR threw at him. Not a surprise nobody wants him now...
