nfl network

You named one person, and were you watching that? See how long it took for Bradshaw to say that? I think it was more for effect than anything. Don't get me wrong, announcers change allegiance with the blow of a wind - but I haven't heard many say that he can't do it. That's a little early the first year back, the 2nd I can understand, the 3rd I can definitely see. If there's little to no improvement.

Solomom Wilcox is a dork and so is the other three monkeys that are on that Playbook show. At the end of the show they each give out an "attaboy" award, and on the one show they gave one to Brian Urlactater for the play where he ran down Portis and nearly ripped his head off with the face mask.

I am not an expert on anything but dont you think that is the wrong message to send out to young kids that could be watching the show? I mean they basicly praised the guy for commiting a very serious penalty, now thats the way to show young viewers how to play the linebacker position!!!

I'd love to know what some these analysts would have done with the Coles situation? A lot of them are quick to criticize but have no realistic alternative solutions to offer. Guess that's why they are analysts and not coaches and GMs. I have quit listening to them about stuff like this. I will listen to specific player discussion because that is stuff I don't know but when it comes to management, team building and things of that nature most them are clueless. That's why guys like Mortenson of ESPN are valuable. He seems to at least listen to the league GMs and coaches and his opinions reflect what they say not what his unknowing eyes tell him. Usually.

Notice how this time of year Mortensen basically says nothing. He doesn't have any articles up recently and is never on ESPN. Its because this is the time of year for rampant speculation which isn't his business and ridiculous chatter.

No kidding. I can't believe the NFL even let them do that with the way they stringently control the content and messages on that network. What an embarassment that group is if this really happened.

Malcolm - I've heard very few people say Gibbs can't do it. I've heard a lot more say it will take him time. Which, though we hoped wouldn't be the case, is what he needs. I just hope with a full offseason and a new voice in his ear the offense can change a bit.

Definitely. I was really all about the hire of Musgrave. I was reading more about it and he has been the coach behind a lot of great quarterbacks. I know everyone was afraid that he would "change" the offense. He is quarterback coach and I think he will be great for Ramsey.

opinions are like backsides, everybody's got one. these guys are just slinging it from hip without any real in depth understanding of what the heck they are talking about. sometimes it just comes down to them likeing to hear themselves talk. coles had to go, showing his rear end the way he did like a little baby shows he's not reay to be the guy. with moss it reamins to be seen. but as you all have in one way or another said it is better to have a man who wants to be here than aman who doesn't.

And some of them stink more than others

amen, and some of them penetrate walls, real pungent ya know ???!!!!

How would he know if it was a bust before the season even starts. If he thinks the Redskins got a bad deal I would have to agree but our options were very few.

I've heard more media folks say Gibbs has been out of the game too long, they won't give him a chance. UNLESS they are an ex-Redskin in the media, Mark Schlereth, Joe Theismann etc.

It's funny how Parcells gets LESS criticism than Joe, when Parcells is in his SECOND year in the NFL with an identical record to Gibbs who is in his FIRST year. Give Gibbs a break, he needs a chance to get his bearings on the game, and get the personnel he wants in place to fit his system. Parcell's has also made bad moves with his personnel--ie Vinny instead of developing a younger QB , and Eddie George was a bust too. They made one good draft choice in Julius Jones, but I haven't heard of any other pick panning out. Yet the media won't say a bad word about "ST." Parcells.........
Gibbs gets all the criticism, media just hates us, I don't know if it's because of our media perceived "unpolitically correct name", or hatred of our front office.....and it's not just Snyder....they did not much like The Squire either.
