We'll never know with each pick how much was Allen and how much was Undead Al. We can still talk about picks made on his watch. They are part of his record even if Undead Al was a significant author of that record.

We do know - big al made the decisions in Oakland. In Tampa, Gruden generally made the decisions. Allen is NOT a personnel guy which is why Snyder and Allen will either promote or bring in a personnel guy to make those decisions here. For all intents and purposes, Allen will end up being more of a president than a GM, atleast if JLCs reports are to be believed.

A couple of people have mentioned it but whether you agree with the pick or not it's a step in the right direction. We laid the foundation and are framing the house before we're trying to put the roof on. Also, I'll repeat what I said earlier, who really thinks that we had a bunch of guys that we may have wanted that wanted us in return? I mean could you really see a Piolo, etc coming to the Skins?

What I know about Allen seems like a big improvement over Vinny. But here's the billion dollar question: is Allen a guy who will keep Snyder from meddling in the football decisions?

On a side note, this is already a legendary thread in Warpath history. Nearly 10,000 views in just 16 or so hours. That's over 10 views a minute. Great stuff.

Thought I would pass this along. It's a good read from the Denver Post:

Shanahan appears headed to Redskins - The Denver Post

SBXVII · 12-18-2009, 12:28 AM

I found this interesting also:

Redskins hiring Allen could be first move toward adding Shanahan

Quote:

Shanahan has been quietly making inroads to round out a staff, multiple sources said, and they would be surprised if he doesn't ultimately end up in Washington to replace Jim Zorn shortly after this season ends in a team president/head coach capacity similar to the role that Joe Gibbs had there.

and

[QUOTE]Shanahan interviewed for the Buffalo Bills' head-coaching job a few weeks back, but few people who know him expected the talks to progress, with other suitors emerging. Should the Dallas Cowboys continue to plummet, they could be in line for a coach, with Shanahan a top option. The Texans already have a great offense in place (they essentially run Shanahan’s offense with a good young quarterback in place), and there would be lots in place to attract the coach there as well, but I continue to hear he is most likely to land in Washington given the machinations already ongoing as he reaches out to potential hires for his next gig.

Cerrato will remain with the Redskins as a Snyder consultant | ProFootballTalk.com. I guess vinny is staying on a small role..

Well hell, if you completely cut him who takes over his radio spot?

LandrySlice · 12-18-2009, 12:45 AM

What a great day! I have been waiting a whole year for the real end of Ceratto, and while Allen is a huge unknown, its a step in the right direction, and you gotta love how many picks he has had in every draft. That is key to building depth on the lines and keeping the team younger. Now lets just finish the season and see part II fall in place. ORAKPOSLICE OUT!

LandrySlice · 12-18-2009, 12:46 AM

rumor has it, young coaching candidate Gregory Michael Novis is back in the mix for HC, just remember you heard it here first!

Nevermind...

Don't worry about that.

By the way, if you guys here any talk about Cerrato being a "consultant" to the team. Don't get worked up over it. He has no role with the team. It's just that he's still under a contract for a few more months so that's his new title. Nothing to worry about
