Smoot Lays The Smack Down (Redskins vs. Chiefs)

Which teams are desperate for a QB right now that would trade for JC?

Smootsmack:

Can you give an example or three of the "serious, impactful changes" that you are looking for Daniel Snyder to make in the next few weeks and months?


You suggested that if Davis and/or Kelly do not want the #2 WR position, they should cede it to you. Are you interested in taking over for Chad Rinehart too? After the way the OL looked today against the 32nd ranked defense in the NFL, you really have to worry about a young offensive lineman that can't crack the rotation...

I believe that the only way to fix this team is to have them tank the season. At the same time the defense will show that they are worthy of being considered among the best in the league, but that will only be to insure that Washington isn't seen as some sort of Elephant Graveyard to potential Head Coaches.

A lot of us heard recently that Snyder's next head coaching candidate would have to be someone that could work with Vinny. This is unacceptable in my book. The guy has only been involved with a playoff team (with the Redskins) while Gibbs was around. However with Spurrier, Turner, and Zorn the team has never even made the playoffs. 5 years is more then enough to find out how someone is doing and unfortunately Cerrato has failed. Not miserably but he doesn't have the offense (smash mouth) to compliment a tough defense.

Going 2-14 would hopefully be the wakeup call to Snyder in that he needs to realize that you can't go 2 out of 3. You can't go for the best coaches, best players, and then settle for your best friend as GM while you talk about the next big receiver or running back you can add to the team.

Of course then when you actually make a good draft pick you have the coaching staff put him on the inactive list. It's almost like Cerrato and Zorn want to fail.

At the same time Orakpo really is getting ready to become the Cooley of the defense. I remember looking at the stat columns during games early in Cooley's career while shaking my head thinking "this guy is going to be good." I now find myself saying the same thing about Orakpo. Of course at one point I was saying the same thing about Betts (2006) and Campbell (first half 2008).

In the end though I seriously believe that the only way this team can have long term success is to have a season so bad that the organization is all but forced to run properly, starting with a quality GM.

I think it's official now, Zorn and JC are done in D.C.

I've got my fingers crossed that some good can come out of this disaster of a season. With the team falling flat on their faces, perhaps this is the wake up call Snyder needs.

Also, with the possibility of no cap next year, can we please dump Portis? I used to be a big backer of his but I think he represents all that is wrong with the Redskins right now. He's overpaid and he underproduces, and he even though he comes to play on Sundays, the fact he sets his own practice schedule sends the wrong message. We need a team full of blue collar guys who give 110% during the week in practice AS WELL as on Sundays.

That pretty much sums it all up!!!!!!!!!!! Id probably put blue collar coaches in there as well! What an atrocity!

Agreed. Portis' time is past. And I never have understood why he was given so many passes regarding practice. As you said, it sends the wrong message.

I agree and have been saying it for awhile. Portis absolutely represents what is wrong with this team. Last year when he threw Zorn under the bus and Vinny and others said, "Oh thats just Clinton being Clinton", it about made me sick. Undermining the HC and whining about playing time when you won't even practice is not how you win in this league. He's been a prima donna since he's been here with the cooperation of the FO and he has sent the wrong message to his team mates from day one. He sets a bad example and can't help but fall over his own feet when he runs. He runs into the back of his linemen instead of cutting to an open lane then calls out his blockers. His act grew old with me long ago, and I'll be glad to see him gone.

Perhaps some good will come from this. The realization that we're not a player or two away is a good thing.

I"m about done w/ alot of players on the skins, but yes, CP is one of them. I like the way he plays on Sundays, but he's slowed down in recent years. I don't think he's a pure #1 starting RB anymore. He couldn't really out run Sellers on his long run yesterday. Just watch another game and tell me CP's not slowed down. Love the guy, but we've got to move on. Anyone watch Ray Rice lately?

Either let Campbell finish the season out as the starter or trade him before the deadline on Tuesday for draft picks which can be used on the line. Might as well get something for him before he leaves for free in free agency.

I'd be in favor of that, but what could we get for him? A fifth rounder? A sixth? I would think Cleveland is pretty desperate...

All that's been said about Portis is true, but would anyone else agree that Santana Moss is almost the same situation? Maybe not with his practice habits, but not since 2005 has he given us much of anything.
