Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
 

Blache "betrayed" his mentor Gregg Williams. I wouldn't put it past him to do the same to Zorn. That said, I think both Blache and Grey probably had some sort of conversation with Snyder about taking over the team on an interim basis if Zorn had been fired or quit earlier on in the season.

So is Blache Pontious Pilate? I am innocent of the blood of this just person; see ye to it.

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
 

The media makes it a soap opera, because they don't know yet so they make up stuff in an attempt to get the truth out. When the HC replacement become official we are going to find out that the Skins fllfiled their obligations to the Rooney Rule from the league office and we still will not find out who the minority candidate was, just like when Allen was hired. Some stuff is meant to be confidential and will remain that way.

[quote=SmootSmack;643365]Ahh. Good ol' Josina (she used to work with Tony McGee if I recall correctly). Josina also provided us with this nugget earlier this year

"An anonymous Redskins coach told Fox 31 in Denver that, "There is definitely a number of us who would love to have him (Vick) play here. I can tell you I would not mind at all."

Lots of speculation there. But anyway, I 100% agree with her on this:

“Too many people were in Jim’s ears. That’s another big problem. If Jason (Campbell) did something bad, you would still be hearing about it on the sidelines way too long; even when the defense was on the field. (Other coaches) would never allow Jim to move on. But when Sherman Lewis came in, that got streamlined a little better.”[/quote]

Yea, alot of that seems a little "gossipy." It's hard to get a good read on it when you don't know who it's coming from.

The CP thing is really nothing new. All Skins fans I think can agree that the offense is better now that Lewis is here too.

The Rooney Rule thing is overblown. Do you really think DS would not adhere to the Rooney Rule? Do people out there think he would be that stupid? Come on...it's a little overblown. It's the media looking for an evil story against DS.

[quote=Mattyk;643361]That's some serious soap opera drama going on in the locker room right now.

As for CP I think he's almost like a Vinny II. Too close to the owner, he needs to go if only for the impression that true change is underway. Plus to state the obvious, his contract is ridiculous and he's past his prime.[/quote]

Well said. I'm ready for a new start. I think Skins fans are ready for a new start.

If Shanny comes won't that be a reunion for the two, CP and Shanny. If I recall correctly there was little love lost between the two when CP was shipped off for Champ.

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
 

CP wanted more money in Denver but I'm not sure how much animosity, if any, there was between Shanahan and Portis because of that. Does anyone have the scoop?

Re: Report: Shanahan to DC done deal
 

Portis can't be cut soon enough for my taste.

I think Shanahan felt he could turn any RB into gold so they cut ties with CP.

If I recall correctly, there wasn't any huge animosity. Portis just wanted more money, and Kubiak was the real fan of Portis and the guy who pushed for the Broncos to draft him. Not so much Shanahan

i cant believe you guys would be happy starting the season with Betts, Cartwright, and any other scrub. i was listening to a syndicated fantasy radio show this morning, and they said the only people that could name the redskins running backs were fans of the team. if Portis is cast off, we need a top caliber replacement.

Our offense is performing just fine without portis. people need to understand that portis is no longer an elite player and he's simply not worth the headaches.

I think the trend with RBs is that you can find a good one from the 2nd round on. Also, successful running teams are now using a system of two or three RBs. So I don't know why should the team stick with Portis.

I agree, plus RB's now a days are such flashes in the pan. They wear out so damn quick from the beatings.
