Yes Vinny can learn to be good at what he does.....whatever it is. I'm not knocking him I just am really wondering how much evaluating he does or how much of listening to the paid evaluaters he does. I would assume the team looks at needs and has the evaluaters go out and find what the need is. Evaluate the talent and report back as their findings. Then when draft day rolls around does Vinny say screw the needed pick lets go with BAP(best available player) or is he following a script the evaluaters have as what they feel is BAP for team need?

I would say I don't have a problem with our last 3 drafts. We have kept more players then we have let go I believe. Previous to that though we would only keep 1 or 2 players from a draft. Perhaps it's part of the coaching also. Maybe Zorn came in and said we need to get younger like the Patriots. Start pulling from the draft instead of picking up old has beens. In any case it would seem he's learning a lesson.

You won't hear me bash Vinny too much only because I'm not exactly sure what his job is. We have evaluaters making money. I'm not sure how long they all have been with the Skins though.

People are bashing Vinny now for not wanting to take a person at #13. I for one believe all the first round talent is a crap shoot. It has been proven that 1st round talent is 50/50. Most of the talent comes from the 2nd to 4th rounds were the talent equals what you pay for. Also I really like Buges and I think he is the best trainer out there who can take a no name and turn him into something special but he is a "man to man" blocking coach. I can remember in Gibbs1 Buges would get all upset after a Bronco game saying that the whole Zone blocking and Cut blocking schemes were crap and caused injuries to the opponents too much and he wouldn't use that type of blocking. Having said that ...it would seem the Bronco's zone/cut blocking scheme's work well, even Portis got lots of yards using it. So my other question is ...are we better off changing to a zone/cut blocking for the WCO? and if so then perhaps Buges needs to be let go.
