😀😀 Ron fired days ago. Mission Accomplished.😀😄
Veretax replied to 88Comrade2000's topic in The Stadium
Wanted to post this separately. BTW While listening to Josh Harris on Audacy, and can I just say, that at tims he stammered a bit, some uhms fo rexample, but man, even if he's a little uncomfortable, he's so much more well thought and spoken than Snyder EVER was. He may not like being the center of attention but appreciates the solem nature of this and the importance, and significance of this to the entire Nation here. I think we are blessed to have an ownership group that includes him. -

Shehan I think descriped an idea where: President/ Head of Football Operations Other Presidents (marketing for example), General Manager, Coach all reporting to the president. So instead of the GM gettting a turnstile of coaches when the GM fails to manage the team well, and vice versa the gm getting fired when the Coach can't coach talent. You can separate each's record instead of it being a chain. -
This is a fair point, if they aren't leaking to shefter it could be agents, will that play a factor in who Washington picks? If we aren't leaking, then the question is, who is not being mentioned that may be flying under the radar. Bruce used to be famous for his smoke screens that weren't. This much noise could be done to throw off other teams. Not saying that's what they are doing, though. btw, noone's talking about Spielman's connections in bringing Cousins to Minny? Cousins back to DC? Trade back add picks, pick up 3 new OL and a new Edge Rusher? Who knows

The answer as always is it depends. How much scouting does the GM do his or herself? If you build a good scouting group and you trust them, then you can often defer to them. People seem to think being GM is like being GM/owner in Madden. There is more to it than just picking players. -

Say what you will about our failure to find success with Ron, but he's earned some time on the bench to rest, and enjoy his family. -
According to screen shots posted by another reporter, and I wasn't clear if it was Front Office canddiates only or HC positions too, they want them to interview 2 miniority candidates from OUTSIDE of their team's current pay roll. Assuming that's legit, EB can't satisfy it. I was just about to say this, they may be trying to lock in the best candidates sooner, to get an idea how they think, but also because a lot of clubs may not wait long to hire. IE RAiders, Carolina.

Sport Trac has us with $12,093,648 of left over cap from 2023 that carries over. I can't remembe the last time I saw that. They have a top 51 in 24 of $85,284,132 That's before any retention signings, extensions, or restructures from here I believe. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/washington-commanders/cap/2024/ Top 15 Cap Hit Contracts:

I think Kevin S or one of the guys on the Junkies said that Spielman might have been the architect of Cousins to Minny. So I don't know if Cousins is under contract up there or not, but is it crazy to think he might come back here for a couple of years while we rebuild everything? That's gotta be a crazy thought right?

2024 NFL Draft Position/Tracker - Final Pick #2
Veretax replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
It's entirely possible that every quarterback at the top of the draft this year is not going to make it much past their second contract. So that's why we shouldn't trade too many pics so we build the rest of the team -

Now that somebody has corrected me that he didn't actually play in the game I'm not sure my thoughts have Merit -
2024 NFL Draft Position/Tracker - Final Pick #2
Veretax replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
I asked the question because he didn't look all that great against the West Virginia Mountaineers in the bowl game. Given he came from probably the same system that Howell was in I don't see how he could protect higher. That's my thinking at the moment I'm sorry -

Okay I might be wrong on this but when you look at me and you compare him to howl when they were in college at the same point do they compare? Cuz it's so I definitely don't want -

Florio says when you make someone an interim HC the coach may get a bump. because players play up to try and change it.... but yeah. I see little reason to Promote Eric to Interim, I don't see what that gets us except less focus on Sams' development which is what matters, IMO. -
I see no reason anyone on staff is kept behind. And while I like Sam, and I like Allen, Allen is about to be on his third contract and heading down hill possibly, Unless you intend to let him walk without compensation, a trade could be coming next year,a nd I'm okay with that. You have to catch enough of your players when they are young and be successful or things get weird with cap space.

Ron was talking about the come back from cancer, frankly he gives me vibes of Gibbs after Sean's murder. I don't thin khe has the gusto anymore. I don't really want to trade terry, but I can understand moving allen if we have payne under contract long term. But if we may be retooling a lot, and gcan get a high 1st or 2nd for terry, then maybe we should move him to somewhere he can succeed. We have so many holes though. I hate to see them trade away key pieces, then trade up to draft a QB.

TO be fair its not the announcing crew tha tbore speople, its how lame our team is right now. And look, I was all abou tbeing on board with sam, shore up the line, grab a TE.... but something about this game make me think Sam might have a lower ceiling. I just can't shake the feeling. We couldn't even let Dolly jinx them by singing we are the champions at half time.

Game Day Thread ~ The Commanders vs. The Giants - A Giant Opportunity!
Veretax replied to zCommander's topic in The Stadium
I know it sounds Harsh, but gibson has hardly had any touches all season, and if its because he can't hold onto the football then let him go now, and try to find someone on the street who won't drop the ball.
