I have said this repeatedly. The part I don't get is why say any of this publicly? I understand he needs to coach and help players do better, but all this stuff should be done privately.
Agree 100%. I'm fine if he says this to Griffin, but why did he need to tell the press this? How does this help the team or squash any of the "Jay hates Robert" stuff going around. The dude is the least self aware person in the NFL. He's so clueless.
Marv's point shouldn't be lost either. He is actually giving the opposing team tips on how to stop Robert from playing well. Never seen anything like it.
I bet we draft Dak Prescott, because Gruden wants a QB who is a pocket passer not a rushing QB... and also because Gruden is clueless.

I think RG3 could be motivated to prove something and MeJax could do enough to beat Sanchez. Man he sucks.
I would much rather they draft that way. I'm only partially joking. Instead we're taking Murphy in the 2nd, Moses and Long in the 3rd, ####### Ted Bolser and a Kicker in the 7th?? We seem to have done well on the Grant and Breeland picks, but my point is that we reach like crazy on guys, NEVER take the freaks or high ceiling guys in the mid-late rounds, always opting for the blue collar types which has really only worked out with Kerrigan who was a Shanahan pick. Morris is good but Shanahan had a knack for finding RB's who fit his system late, and Keenan Robinson looks really good as a mid-rounder who was injured his first couple years.But in general, these are my gripes: we never just make the obvious pick (example: stay put and just draft Bitonio!). Ever. The teams who accumulate talent are doing this left and right: Bengals, Rams, 49ers, Pittsburgh. The obvious value picks always fall to these teams when other teams reach for need or get cute. The only teams that draft totally off the wall and seemingly reach with success are the Pats and Seahawks, who have their own secret formula for prospects that fits their systems that is hit or miss. Chip Kelly can probably go in this category as well.
Not necessarily. Would you put it past them to tie 3-3 or something stupid like that?It hurts but I'm
BTW, Jacksonville plays Tennessee this week so one of them is getting their third win.
This is what needs to happen. Some way Snyder has to be forced to change his approach of surrounding himself with stooges and hire a real football GM with power.
If nothing changes from this season going into next season, Snyder will hear it loud and clear.
Remember when Gibbs left, and all the players wanted Snyder to hire Gregg Williams as coach, and Gregg WIlliams wanted the job? That would have been cool.
I love this idea except for the fat that it requires the Redskins to be able to evaluate talent and chose talent that will flourish at the NFL level. So far, the organization has not shown to that often or on any consistent basis.
Agree 100%.
It is looking like Snyder made a mistake in hiring Allen. I think everything else is on Allen. If Allen worked out, Snyder would look great right now. And I don't blame him too much for the Allen hire. Remove all hindsight and it was probably worth a shot with his experience and ties to the Redskins. Turns out he just didn't perform. It happens. Hopefully Snyder gets the next GM hire right, and hopefully it is sooner rather than later.
Agree overall but just to be clear- Norv was the coach of the 1999 team that went 10-6 and won the division in Snyder's first year of ownership. He then fired Norv during the 2000 season when the team was 7-6 and still mathematically alive for the playoffs I believe. A week or two earlier I remember Snyder meeting with Norv in Texas Stadium for like 3 hours after a loss to Dallas. He also was behind the signing of Jeff George and directed interim coach Terry Robiskie to start him over Brad Johnson for the final 3 games of that season.
And two years later Brad Johnson won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Touche'.
Actually the template is Griffin gets injured in the Iggles game and Kirk rallies us to a W. Then next week vs. Dallas when the 'Boys have a week to gameplan against Capt. Kirk he throws a bunch of INT's and we get crushed.
My bad, we trying to make the point fast and from top of my head. Mind is the first to go... thanks for clarification.
Exactly. I remember at the time...I hated that we got rid of Brad Johnson. And I hated that we got rid of Marty.
Marty is a prime example of a well coached team with very little talent. Marty decided to take all the cap hits up front when getting rid of the previous year's excess such as Dieon Sanders and Jeff George. He had a truly bad roster and managed to go 8-3 after a 0-5 start.
There was something else in the mix too. I've always wondered how much Williams was involved with the whole Bountygate fiasco.
That's quite realistic. I was trying for a one-act drama to sum up the season, but playing out over 2 acts sums it up pretty well.
I'm so tired of the "solution" to player personnel issues to be people from within the building. Everyone in that entire building should be fired.
