Re: RG3 and Gruden?
I was at the game yesterday - got cheap tickets and took my son for his birthday (what a lousy present in hindsight). Seeing the game in person really altered my thinking. This team is almost unsalvageable. I had a feeling that we were going to lose during the national anthem. The Rams all stood in a line sort-of at attention, like a baseball team on the baseline. The Skins were all over the place, talking, sitting, looking at stuff. It came across as undisciplined, unfocused and unprofessional.
Not to make too much of a small detail, but I think it reflects the problems we're having on the field - our play is unfocused and undisciplined. We look surprised and caught off-guard on almost every play.
So, I've switched from the "it-would-be-premature-to-fire-Gruden" camp to the "gut-it-all" camp. At this point I'd fire the whole coaching staff - no holdovers - and bring in a coach who can instill discipline and emphasize hard work and professionalism. We also need to clean house on the player side; I don't even know how many of our players are salvageable at this point.
