offseason rantings & questions

[diehardskin2982]

If you could give any redskins player some advice right now in the offseason on something to work on so that he could be better for next season who and what would it be? discuss.

I'd tell Ramsey to study next years opponents now to know some of the things they run. I'd also like to see some pocket pressence work, footwork and establish better timing with the Wideouts he needs to develop timing with someone.

might as well start early, right

Where do I begin. I'd like to see some more pressure from the line. O-line needs to get better hope Jansen recovers to what he was before never know with achilles. More exotic routes maybe. I don't know just something on offense.

I'd tell McCants to work on his spelling and grammar in his NFL Players journal

I'd tell Sean Taylor to work on controlling his "knock their heads off" mentality

I'd tell Brunell to restructure his contract and then retire.

On a more serious note, I'd tell Samuels and Dockery to do a better job of run blocking, Betts & Royal to do a better job at blitz pick-ups, and Ramsey not to throw INTs while in the opponent's red zone.

I hope by control you mean that he takes more people heads off...

I would tell Ramsey to get in the weight room and start doing deep squat's that should quicken him up, give him more agility and more confidence that he can move out of trouble much easier and withstand a hit to the leg's in the pocket, this will help get rid of his happy feet, he will never be a burner but he can be quicker and stronger from the waist down with the proper weight training, which phycologically should help his overall game.

how about the coach? i would tell gibbs to stop blaming the talent of the wr's for the teams offensive problems and blame himself for the obsolete playbook.

I don't think anyone ever heard Gibbs blame any players. BUT, I would tell Gibbs to open up the playbook a little more, and throw downfield. Also, I would tell him to utilize the zone blocking scheme a little more, because thats a better scheme for Portis.

Gibbs was blaming himself all year last year. I don't think that's an issue.

Can you cite which times he has done this? You can't remember any time Gibbs hasn't blamed himself? His playbook isn't obsolete, he just needs to expand on the offense a little more this year...open things up just a bit more...last time I checked, teams still run and pass in order to score.

Am I the only one that hears Gibbs say the problems start with him?

Gibbs has never backed down from blame.

That was one of the few GOOD things about this season.....Joe Gibbs always pointed the blame at HIMSELF......he did NOT pass the buck to the players........(although he did criticize the officials)

I think Musgrave will be an unsung coaching hero of next year. I think he will be behind-the-scenes and make a huge impact with Ramsey's progression.

I'd tell Smoot to get a dose of reality and ask for pay commensurate with his ability and position.

I'd tell McCants to step it up in practice if he wants some real playing time, else he becomes trade bait for a low round draft pick.

I'd tell Brunell to restructure his contract and plan on being a 'father figure' to Ramsey.

I'd tell Garner 'Hasta la Vista, baby'. One way or another I don't think he'll be wearing a skins uniform next season.

I just hope we can hear some concrete news in the upcoming weeks about some signings/releasing of people.

Seriously, I'm begining to grow very impatient.
