Rebuilding the Redskins

Fixing the players is only a tiny part of what's needed to fix this organization.
Beyond the coaching, what do you think is broke?

We only have 6 picks, if you're expecting we get quality players with at least 5 of those picks you might want to lower expectations. We have a lot of holes to fill and we're probably going to have to fill the majority in free agency. Hopefully our new coach is smart and goes after solid guys instead of the name guys looking for a payday.

Sorry - [a quality DB], MLB and WR.

Well said and you didn't need 5 paragraphs to say it. Total turnarounds can happen in one off season and don't require complete overhauls of the roster. The Skins can add 5-7 starters between the draft and free agency, but essentially the same 3-10 roster went 10-6 last year.

Teams go from crappy to good and good to crappy every year with essentially the same personnel. Exceptional QB play solves most problems. Otherwise, you need to be very good to dominant at every other aspect of the game, vis a vis the 49ers.

A better Griffin and a middle of the pack Special Teams unit and THIS years team is at least .500.

O-line and Defense is all they need to focus on.

Looking at our team now, we need fundementally strong players with versitility. We need LBs and Safeties who can tackle. We need WRs that can catch. We need to get the basics down first, before we scheme. But I agree with what your saying and Im sure the new regime will looking who fits their mold, but lets get guys who have their primary skills down pat.As I read this, it is sad to see how far we've fallen. The RG3 issues are so far down the priority list it's embarrassing.

This is 100% on Daddy Shanny. If any of MS's people are reading this....tell MS he should resign because he has produced a complete and utter failure in every sense of the word. There is no phase of this team that is competitive. If he takes even $ 1.00 of the $ 7M for next year he's as bad as Haynesworth.

That's assuming that any decent free agents want to come play for this dysfunctional mess. With either a new coach/regime, etc or the old regime simply playing out the string with obvious drama between the coach and owner.

And if there is a new coach, who is really going to step in here with the obvious issues that are going on with the owner?

Just having cap money doesn't mean things will be fixed quickly. There will be a lot of other teams out there with money to spend that are in a better position talent-wise and they aren't the dysfunctional laughingstock this franchise has become.

Doesn't mean they won't either. They'll find players to take the money. Maybe they miss out in the big splashy free agents, but that hasn't worked out in the past anyway. And the players they draft don't really have a choice. It doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. RG3 regaining his form is worth 8-8 with zero changes to the current roster.

I've always felt that the switch to a 3-4 was Shanny's first and biggest mistake, and I agree that the personnel in place are the makings of a decent 4-3, with additional help at safety required.

#1- I think DS was wanting a 3-4 also and if he didn't he could easily have said don't do it or just not hired MS for the HC job since MS was talking about changing to a 3-4 also.

#2- 3-4, 4-3, I honestly don't care cause to me it seems the DL sucks. In our 3-4 we have 3 DL rushing and 1 or 2 LB's and they still can't get to the QB. You keep the same guys you have the same guys rushing but their job titles are different.

3-4: LB, DE, DL, DE, LB
4-3: DE, DL, LB, DL, DE,

WR's that can catch, safeties that can tackle. Run the ball and stop the run.

Expectations are high in this one......
