true enough, but man that jumbotron thing at FedEx is just lousy, comparatively speaking.

I will mock Dallas' cuz it's overly ridiculous, but ours are so awful that they need to something to get done now.

ok back on topic, I so want to be a bug in MS' office in all of these interviews. It's got to be fascinating, as Spock would say.

I heard they were going to hand out those little hand-held magnifying glasses at the gate. :cool-smil

Yep. 1 TD in 9 yrs doesn't count in my book. I'm talking atleast 1 TD a year or more to be a threat or decent scheme

I guess Bobby Turner isn't coming:

Kick returns for scores or blocked punts? In Bobby April's world, such things exist.

Kinda funny because when defending our horrible punt returns to the media, Zorn was quoted that we dont return well because we try to block kicks. How many punt blocks did we have this year?

I wouldn't make that assumption.
They can still hire him as the grand poobah I believe

I can't remember the last time that we blocked a punt.

Seriously...I hope that Shanny brings someone in who will coach us up to the point that there is a legitimate threat to take it to the house every 3-5 games.

That would be sweet, wouldn't it? Think of all the games that we lost by a close score and then add a kick return seven points to our score. We could add a win or two a year.

The Redskin teams of old......scared other teams.
I would like to see us return to that philosophy. We have had solid from time to time, but that is not what I am talking about.
I cannot remember the last time we had a team where any aspect of, I would consider....scary
Needs to be a priority

First Turner, now Dennison. Looks like neither will up here.

Well not to badmouth Dennison or Turner since I don't know much about them, but maybe this is a good thing. Perhaps Shanahan was picking them more out of friendship/former work and now he and Allen can figure out who might actually be the BEST fit. I don't know that this WILL be the case but who knows.

Denver is being a little nasty in not letting Shanny talk to his guys. It is their right but it seems a little petty.

I personally feel that it's a good thing. Coaches get used to their own staff with folks they've worked in the past, I think it's good for Shanahan to get some fresh faces on his staff in Washington.

If we're going to raid a 'familiar' staff, I'd rather it be the Texans since they had a higher ranked offense than the Broncos did. I think Alex Gibbs and his son may be coming to DC..
