Lasted with the Niners long enough to get a Super Bowl ring (1988). Now the head of a bank in California.

Anyone showing up with bags over their heads yet? I think that's how you measure who's really at the bottom of the barrel in this league

Re: Bucs Postgame Thread
 

[quote=sevier2;1094504]I think the best way to answer that question is to look at the amount of coaching changes we've had and compare that to the number of scout personnel changes we've had.

I don't know the figures but I DO know we've had a LOT of coaches here, who did very well in other organizations (Shannahan, Schottenheimer, etc.)

Unless these coaches throw out their previous experience when they get here I can't blame them. Like we've all stated before, It's starts at the top with the owner and upper management putting the right pieces in place (which I don't believe they are) and then translates to the coach and staff, which in turn trickles down to the players.

So forget the players. We need to clean up this office and I DONT mean adding ANOTHER "talent evaluator." Clean out the useless jobs we have (Can anyone explain what Greg Williams does?) that are only adding more dumb opinions and undermining our true GM (which we currently don't have) and put in some real football knowledgable personnel.

PLEASE![/quote]

Greg Williams?

Re: Bucs Postgame Thread
 

We made the front page of cbssports.com today and here is the article:

The Redskins had two weeks to prepare for the one-win Buccaneers. When it was over (perhaps predictably, in retrospect), Tampa Bay left FedEx Field with its second win of the season and Washington was again left to wonder where it all went wrong.

For former Redskins player Brian Mitchell, who now has the depressing duty of covering the team for CSN Washington, it was too much. Here's how his postgame rant began (via Sports Bog):

"Embarrassing. This is atrocious. It's despicable. It's pathetic. I think it's asinine. As we look at this football game and this football team -- and it's not just Robert, OK, I want fans out there to stop blaming just the quarterback. The defense was atrocious, the offensive line was terrible, dropping balls, throwing balls to people. Everybody had a part in this. There are players that, they can't play themselves into the right position. We sit here every week and we want to blame that one guy. Yes, they gave up a lot for him, but from coaching, to decision-makers, to players, everybody is playing a part. ...

"I see a lot of players blaming media and everybody else, and running around as if they've won the damn Super Bowl somewhere. This team has sucked over the last few years, OK? And as a former player, I'm embarrassed to watch this junk, over and over again. And yes, I come on this air and I have to try and be professional and not say what -- I wish, let the FCC tell me today, 'Say what the hell you want to say, Brian.' And I will call out names and tell them exactly what I feel. Because a lot of guys who want to be big time and talking about what they think and what the media shouldn't be doing, play some damn football. You sucked on the field today, and you know who you are. I don't have to say their names. You know who you are."

Meanwhile, NBC Sports NFL analyst Rodney Harrison thinks it's time to pull the plug on the Robert Griffin III experiment.

"He's been in the league three years," Harrison said. "If you need six more games to determine if he's going to be your future quarterback, you need a new coach and a new scouting department. I've seen enough. I don't think he fits in the system. I think you have to get rid of him. ...

"They've surrounded [Griffin] with great weapons," he continued. "I just think it comes down to RGIII. I don't think he can read coverages. The offensive line is really bad. Defensively they gave up a lot of plays. They have a lot of issues on this team."

On this we can all agree.

But former Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs thinks Griffin will remain the team's starter in 2015. Not so much because he's earned it, but because that's the way owner Dan Snyder wants it.

After conceding that both Colt McCoy and Kirk Cousins would have scored more than seven points and taken fewer than six sacks against the Bucs, Springs got to the truth of the matter, at least as he sees it.

"Snyder's gonna make sure (RG3's) the starting quarterback," he told 106.7 The Fan. "You have no choice. You have no choice. That move would set the franchise back like 10 years. You gave up three first-rounders. ... You have to live with that. You married your wife and she was skinny, then all of a sudden she gained 50 pounds. You've got to work with her a little bit, you know? How about the line; can you go get some people to protect him?"

So yeah, it's business as usual for the Redskins Traveling Circus.

Colt maybe

Cousins though would have thrown like 3 more interceptions

Re: Bucs Postgame Thread
 

While there has been a lot of deserved dumping on RG3, the fact is we have the worst line in the NFL. 3 of the 5 do not even belong in the NFL. I can understand a bit why RG3 is jumpy. He usually has only about 2 second before some guy from the other team is ready to kill him. Ok, possibly Moses could develop into a RT. But the guards are the worst in the league. The only function Polumbus used to serve was to distract people from how bad Chester is. At a minimum, we need to NFL caliber guards for next year.
