I was listening to Riggo's show on Sirrius last night and someone called asking some GM questions. Anyhow, Cerratos name came up and Riggo let loose this little gem:

"I wouldn't trust Vinny Cerrato enough to order lunch for a team no less be the GM."

I got a nice little laugh out of that.

Damb! That's actually pretty funny.

I wonder just how involved Vinny is, how much of an influence he's had on this team? You never hear about him anymore, not like we used to hear about Beatherd or Casserly.

Mr. Positivity himself at it again.

What has Riggo had to say about the Skins making the playoffs?

I'm sure he's thrilled.

12thMan · 01-04-2006, 10:29 AM

what's his deal??

irish · 01-04-2006, 10:45 AM

Riggo is correct, VC had not done anything until Gibbs & Co. showed up. VC does the leg-work and briefs Gibbs about players then does what Gibbs tells him to do.

MTK · 01-04-2006, 10:48 AM

Vinny isn't the GM, so what's the point of cracking back on him??

#56fanatic · 01-04-2006, 10:57 AM

Vinny has been Dannys yes man since Danny bought the team, except for the year Marty fired him. He puts together packages of free agents and restricted free agents, potential draft picks. that is pretty much it. He may get in a help negotiate a contract. He is pretty much one of those guys that just gets a job because he is friends with the boss

I agree. John Riggins was my absolute favorite player growing up. But I haven't heard him say anything positive about the Redskins in a long long time. I really don't know why he is so bitter. But I do know I really don't care what John Riggins has to say anymore.

True. But when I was in D.C last year for the Cowboys game all I remember Riggins saying is how tired Gibbs looked. And he was so concerned that he couldn't make it through the season. And that was in like week 3! He's just rubbed me the wrong way the last few times I have heard or read His quotes. I still love the guy as a Redskin. As you might have noticed with my Screen name. I Just think he sucks as a commentator.

Riggins is just one of those guys that he says what he feels whether its good or bad. He was like that as a player and is definately like that now. I think its refreshing to have someone who is a skins fan but doesn't drink the cool aid until its coming out their ears. Personally, I think he doesn't like Danny Boy or Vinny, which leads to some of comments.

Vinny's just a monkey. He heads up scouting and presents it to the coaches. His recommendations mean little to the coaches. They make up their own minds.

I agree with Riggo's comment, but I don't think the Skins are trusting him to do much more than order lunch as it is. So it's a non-issue to me.

VC coordinates the entire scouting logistics during the entire year. Rather than hassle our beloved coach with having to coordinate whose going to check Jimmy Joe Bob at Butt Scratch U this weekedn he can gameplan while Vinny figures out how to best use our scouting resources and then how to assimilate the data retrieved. No he isn't the GM but I think what he does has a lot of value. I bet Gibbs would say what Vinny does is actually invaluable.
