You're Dan Snyder, what's your move?

My question is: what do you do with Fletcher? He's still a very productive player (not as good as last year), and absolutely critical for this defense to be above average. But he has two years left on his contract, they're expensive years, and he will be 35 next season. With Orakpo pretty much requiring a move to DL, that entire unit needs to be rebuilt.

So how many draft resources do you put in that position considering how much help the O needs? And with Fletcher, who is a pretty darn good player who we are still losing with, do you cut bait with him at the end of the year and just let the defense take it's lumps?

I think you can get by another season with Fletcher.

I'd say just one more. I noticed Blades got about a series or so in the 1st half yesterday. I wondered if they're just trying to spell LF a little.

I don't think Blades is a long-term answer at MLB for this d, but come next year we might be seeing a 3-4 for all we know.

Under our current conditions I think it's unfair to Fletcher who is in the phase of his career where he wants to help a team win a Super Bowl. He's not really playing for the money at this point and I'm sure he'd like to prove to the league that he is an asset.

I feel bad enough for the guy where I don't want to stricken him with our team's prospects for the next 2 years.

I'd fire Zorn and Vinny. There's no reason that Vinny should be able to keep his job at this point. Appoint Jerry Gray as interim HC, appoint Morocco Brown as interim GM and start the search now for someone to come into the front office by December 1st and evaluate to set the course for the franchise in 2010 and beyond.

Anything else would be an exercise in futility.

For those who want to rip apart the defense, consider this:

Redskins average time of possession: 27:04 (29th overall, dead last in NFC)
Redskins 1st Downs/Game: 15.7 (29th overall, next to last in NFC, thanks San Fran)

Meanwhile, the Defense is 5th overall in Total Yards allowed and Points Allowed and that's with 2 teams ahead of them that have played 5 games (Denver plays tonight, Eagles have already had their bye). Considering the amount of time they spend on the field, they can only be stretched so thin.

Now, I do realize there are a few holes on D, but those can be fairly easily filled going forward, and still stay successful with the current coaching staff or if Gray is promoted to DC if/when Blache retires.

I present to you, the 10 step plan for success:

1.) GM -- must have total authority on everything
2.) Scouting -- gotta be able to make our draft effective
3.) Coaching -- defense-minded, motivator
4.) Clear out overpriced players -- value is EVERYTHING
5.) Build the lines -- 80% draft/20% FA
6.) Build the defense -- stop the run first, then the pass; I'd love to see 3-4
7.) Skill positions -- DB, QB, RB, WR, TE (in that order)
8.) Cheaper beer and free peanuts at FedEx
9.) Change my wardrobe to look like less of a chode
10.) Use less gel in my hair

Well he's under contract and he chose to sign here. I can't feel too bad for him, he's well compensated.

maybe getting fletch to the pro-bowl can be our bright spot this year. with all our offensive three n outs, the D is getting alot of opportunities to make tackles.

I would also do some due dilengence to see of Jeff Fisher is on the hot seat and might be out in Tenn. He's been there a long time and sometimes people need a change.

Explain to me why these would be priorities for you. Why a defensive minded head coach, especially with our 2 decade dearth of offense?

As to the positions, we've drafted DB the past 2 years, why would that be your #1 priority?
