Agree 100%.

If true, Snyder just wants another sycophant.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired

Why would you want to get rid of an up and coming eye for talent like Kyle Smith who has proven the last 2 years that he knows what he’s doing. That would be seriously stupid.

Exactly. The guy had an awesome 2019 draft. Almost a dozen rookie STARTERS from the draft and UDFA. His THIRD ROUND pick almost was Rookie of the Year. That’s huge!

If he wasn’t on this team, other organizations would be thinking about him as a GM. Because he’s attached to this franchise, everyone thinks he sucks.

I seriously think Grant has a poster above his bed of McVay, Cousins and Kyle.

and himself.

The GM building around Haskins should be a team goal at this point and would be for any team in the same position. And I think Ron realizes this as well given his interest in the position.

Grant is just trying to cook up drama. We should probably give a lil credit for Dan being decisive in firing Bruce and moving quickly to secure interview with top HC prospect.

They just got god damn hyperbaric chambers last year? I would bet the bengals are the only team without them.

The god damn bengals.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired

Boy if that article doesn't paint a depressing picture of life inside Redskins Park. Why does the concept of building a new practice facility seem so foreign to Danny?

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired

Other teams, like the Vikings, get huge grants for practice facilities and stadiums FROM TAX PAYERS! $4 mill from VA is chump change.

Snyder obviously doesn’t like to spend money on things he doesn’t see on the field. He’ll thrown $100 mill at an ultimate loser FA player like Hainesworth, but cheaps out on scouting and practice facilities. I mean the training camp field doesn’t even have stadium seats -you just sit on a grass hill! Even HIGH SCHOOL teams have stadium seating.

Another Snyder trait that must change to be competitive.

Re: Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired

I wouldn’t say our OL was “fine”. We were 22 in rushing even with strong performances by Guice and AP. Whoever was QB was under strong pass rush pressure for most of the games.

Moses sucked and had an unbelievable amount of penalties.

Scherff may go elsewhere.

Martin looked good to the end of the season.

Flowers did surprisingly well but needs to be resigned.

Penns is freakin’ old. How much gas does he have left?

Throwing away Trent Williams is the easy choice, but he had some real problems with BA and the medical staff. Both are gone due to poor performance, so maybe he was right!!.

Get a couple years of top OT performance from TW while getting new OL draft picks THIS year. This year Bruce Allen brought in Penns and it worked.... barely. His tactic to “punish TW until he comes back to play” was a colossal failure and stupid. If Trent will come back, get him. He’ll be well rested and healthy next year.

Confirmed: Bruce Allen has been fired

Sunny side- Damn you’re harsh! Rookie Group 2019

Ok, Haskins didn’t have one good half of football.

His second to last game was a 121 QB rating. He played the whole game.

His last game was a 143 QB rating. For a rookie, with a crappy OL, three rookie WR, no decent TE and only 7 games experience, he had some phenomenal growth. He may not be the best but he’s off to a fast start for a rookie.

McLaurin was almost Rookie of the Year. He would have made it with a good QB situation and supporting WR group.

Steve Sims, JR and Harmon did very well for rookies. I bet at least one of them will be part of the outstanding Redskins possie in 3 years.

Holcomb- will be elite

Martin- good showing in last games

Sweat had a great last game. I don’t judge anyone on defense with Manusky in charge. The defense was POORLY COACHED. Next year with Rivera in charge this defense will shine - with many of the young players in the team NOW. Chase Young and Sweat are going to be a dynamic pass rush.

Overall, the team was playing 8-9 rookies in the end. That’s an incredible draft in my eyes.

I feel the main issues at Redskin Park were/are more about the people inside the building. Not the building itself.

I mean if you read the article it specifically mentions how easy it is for rumors to get around because execs and football players are cramped on the same floor together.

It's time for Danny to bring the team into the 21st century. This includes a modern practice facility with modern improvements.

I would agree. I'd like to see them move downtown or somewhere in Arlington so they feel more part of the city. I remember when that thing was built, I believe right after the 91 SB. Ashburn was barely even on the map.

I'm thinking maybe that's a reason Dan has settled for small improvements in Ashburn. Property values around here are insane, especially the closer you get to DC. IDC if they stay in Ashburn but they definitely are at a competitive disadvantage compared to other NFL teams.
