Coaching Staff update

I can't tell u the last time I was so excited about a 4-12 team lol.. Shanny and Allen will build a great team here and it's about time.. We will no longer be the laughing stock of the NFC east..

Ha I was about to reply with that link as my first post!

This is exciting. Redskins special teams have been below average for too long now. Hopefully this spells the end for ARE and even Rock as returners.

Sorry to steal your thunder. welcome to the warpath. ditto on ARE and Rock. One of the main reasons I would like to see us "clean house" and get rid of the entire coaching staff is so that we can bring in guys who have no connection or loyalty to ANY of our players. That's the only way we'll truly see the best players starting.

Thanks Aristocrat!

I think that people, and maybe Rock himself, overrate his ability. This is evidenced by his pouting to the media whenever he feels like he deserves a bigger role.
While great in coverage, he never was a dynamic kick returner and he's less so every year. Nothing like getting a quick 6 points out of a big return to push the momentum and pump up the team,,, that just never happens anymore.

I don't get the deal with Rock...the best, absolute best you can say of him is that he is reliable in that you will start at the 20 and not fumble the ball. But don't we deserve more, even Cleveland has Cribbs. I would love to be, for a change, the team that puts the other team on its heels with a quick score wouldn't you guys?

Personally I'd like to nominate Ray Brown to coach the O-Line. Then again only if he's the best guy to coach our new ZBS.

That's why I'm so excited about Bobby April. If he can't do that for us, maybe no one can.

Kick returns for scores or blocked punts? In Bobby April's world, such things exist.

Pardon the ignorance. Who is Bobby April?

Agreed, it's like sorry Bugel but we're going with a youth movement. See this guy Alex Gibbs? When you were a Sophomore in high school he was a freshman.

Oh man. I almost fell off the chair laughing. Good one Dirtbag.

Bobby April was the special teams coordinator for Buffalo from 2004 until they cleaned house this week. He has also been special teams coordinator for the Saints, Steelers, and Rams. His Bills special teams especially have been quite good and he is considered to be one of the top special teams gurus out there.

Looks like he moves every 3 or so years. Wonder what that's about.
