DogofWar1 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Holy crap, we beat out 7 other teams for a highly sought after candidate!? Who are you and what have you done with the bungling bumbling nepotistic Front Office we knew and loved (to hate)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasRoane Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I am not expecting miracles but i tend to believe that this is a definite upgrade from Forester (Sp?) I'd say so. Granted, the QB plays a role in the number of sacks. But the run blocking hasn't been all that great and it doesn't seem like any of the young guys have developed at all under Foerster. More importantly! There can be only one Redskin in the "how do you spell that guy's name" category. An that guy is McCl....ah screw it! The GM!

Shiv Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm sure part of his move here is to be able and stick it to the cowboys twice a year. Hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think having a legit GM now who has a proven track record of spotting talent is helping already. Makes it easier for a quality coach to come to Redskin's Park.

Makes it easier for a quality coach to come to Redskin's Park. I also think the notion that the Redskins haven't been able to attract coaches is largely a fiction. I mean look at who we have attracted... they're almost all HOFers or people highly thought of. The only exception being Zorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mocountyskins Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Chris Russel is such a troll lmao he tweeted that he got a txt from a NFL exec that Foerster is the best OL coach and that we are downgrading lmao. He is such a prick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky21 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 You might get good run blockers in this zone scheme but these lighter guys were getting their asses handed to them in pass blocking. This signals to me a move to get more fat boys on the O Line and I'm all for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 His contract was up. He was free to leave. I knew that, but what I'm saying is, going 11-5, don't you do everything in your power to keep it all together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCDefectors Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Let's put it this way. The Cowboys didn't exactly put up a fight to keep Callahan. Callahan was basically stripped of his powers in Dallas. Linehan called the plays and Pollack ran the OL. Callahan is an improvement over whoever the Skins had running the OL. But I thought you guys would pick someone whose career is not on the decline. I wasn't impressed with Callahan's work in Dallas at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s0crates Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm more excited about this than any other news so far this offseason. We need to get back to blocking and tackling. Football games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think he had anything to do with the improved OL play? I know they spent 1st rounders on those guys, but someone still has to coach them up. His time as the OC there didn't seem like it went well, but he seems to be a really good OL coach, which is what he'll do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great hire. Looking forward to seeing what guys we put in the trenches I foresee LeRibeus having a second chance. Nothing wrong with big, mean guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildbunny Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I'm having a hard time reading this. Are some of you celebrating a Jay Gruden hire? That's an interesting move anyway. We may finally have a decent team next year with better coaching and better players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacoah Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I find this to be a very sexy hire. We clearly need a very experienced and talented OL coach to provide protection for our QBs. I guess though my biggest question is this: Are there any decent Offensive Lineman in the 2015 draft who, under Callahan, can make a huge impact very early on? Would love feedback from those on this forum who follow college football a great deal more closely than I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
