Diesel Hog Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Mods, I searched but didn't find a thread like this already...if there is one, please merge. So in the midst of yet another sub-par to crappy season, what are the positives? What are the things the team actually did right in 2010? Here is my list: 1. Fire Vinny 2. Hire Bruce Allen 3. Draft Trent Williams 4. Move L. Landry back to Strong Safety 5. Putting B. Banks on the 53 man roster 6. Adding Torain to the 53 man roster 7. Bringing back the Gold Pants I'm sure there are some others I'm missing, but just wanted to see what you all think are the positives from another disappointing season.

aREDSKIN Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'd add McNabb and trading for Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsdude Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm sure that everyone's list is going to start with "fire vinny", as it very well should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Landry is thriving in this new 3-4 defense. So yes, putting Landy at strong safety is a huge positive. Jettisoning Phat Al is another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Nothing as far as I'm concerned. Winning is the only thing that matters and we find new and interesting ways to keep from doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsCrushCowboys Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Bringing back the gold uniforms Letting the past players in for a fan day during off season Opening more practices to the public Getting rid of Haynesworth Beating the Cowboys Putting in the jumbotrons at Fed Ex Opening the gates early for the Dallas game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Hog Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 I was going to add M. Shanahan to the list, but I think I'll hold off until we see how next season pans out. As for McNabb, at first I was very excited, but at 5-8, I'm not sure J. Campbell would have done any worse...Here's hoping the team goes after some Linemen this off-season, and also brings in a true #1 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel Hog Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Firing Vinny was soooo 2009. As was hiring Bruce Allen. You're right! It was Dec. 2009, I was thinking it was January 2010, oops. Well, the title should read "what have the Redskins done right over the past year". ---------- Post added December-13th-2010 at 01:20 PM ---------- got bruce allengot mike shanahan got kyle shanahan installed a 3-4 defense got mcnabb drafted trent williams found brandon banks found anthony armstrong made landry a monster again made turnovers important its gonna take time guys. 13 games is nowhere near enough time to judge what these guys are doing. Agree 100%. I think the team is in the right direction, and this coming off-season will really set the foundation for where this team is heading in the next 5 years.

F-16 CHIEF Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Drafted Williams. Allen, by getting rid of 2 picks for McNabb is no better than Vinny. He's also failed to address the kicking issue. Shane Graham has been available twice now. The yellow pants are horrible. I hope to never see them again. They finally got rid of AH. That's about it for what they got right. ---------- Post added December-13th-2010 at 01:26 PM ---------- got bruce allengot mike shanahan got kyle shanahan installed a 3-4 defense got mcnabb Uh yeah. None of those are looking stellar right now. The 3-4? Really? You're bragging on the worst D in the league? And Kyle? The guy who abandoned the run after one of the greatest first half's in Redskins history? The same guy who ran it on 3rd and goal from the 10? Shanny? The guy who can't manage the clock or the AH situation? I'm not calling them busts, but none of these guys have shown anything to be impressed about.

Dirt Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 It's nice to see all the positives lined up like that. Good personnel moves, mostly. So, whast have they done BAD?: -lose games..? And that's about it. You could say changing the D was 'bad' for THIS YEAR, but it is the future of the NFL and it will grow/get better. This team just needs everyone to get together, be on the same page, and 'gel' as they say. I really believe it can. It's key that the veteran guys, the ones a couple years away from the door, stay committed, help out the young guys, and play hard, even if they know they're not winning a SB. Shanny has said, ONE thing about his SB teams was that everyone was on the same page. Everyone bought in to what he wanted to do. I take that as more than podium chit chat, I think it means a lot. Shanny's attitude here for the last 5 years would have meant no CP costumes, no Albert haynesworth,..no bad character guys. Somehow, it's a good thing for this team to get thoroughly embarrassed, and make sure they can stick together. It seems they are. Even Gano isn't all that worried. To answer the OP question, I'll say they've done so much right, it's amazing. Fundamentally, this team needed an overhaul, and it got it. Step 1- done. On to step 2- win games...

Diesel Hog Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Wow. Now you are just ****ing for ****ing's sake. Yeah, the gold pants look cool. I realize that fashion doesn't matter at the end of the day, and all that does is winning, but the White Jerseys / Gold Pants combo is the best uniform combo I've seen. It is far superior to All Burgundy, All White, and at this point, I'm so sick of the Burgundy Pants / White Jersey look, that I'd say it's better than that to.

The guy who can't manage the clock or the AH situation? I'm not calling them busts, but none of these guys have shown anything to be impressed about. tough to run a 3-4 with no NT, no ILB, a backup SS, and a FS that cant tackle. i remember in 2006 when williams didnt have the horses either and everyone wanted his terrible scheme gone, yet he got some better players, improved our defense, then went to NO and won a superbowl ring with their defense. but hey, 13 games with some very good performances and some poor ones is enough to throw a guy away and go back to our 4-3, which was really not that great! lol kyle, the guy who is hamstringed by little to no talent on offense? did you see the game yesterday? the bucs adjusted big time to the run and started stuffing it. heres torains 2nd half rushing line: 6 carries, 14 yards. one of those was a 12 yard run. it was clear as day that the bucs adjusted to stuff the run, and they did on 5 of his 2nd half carries. you dont just run a guy into a brick wall. the gameplan was fine yesterday. our garbage kicker/ST leaving 7 points on the field was why we lost. shanny, the guy that thought he could get something out of haynesworth? lets crucify the guy for thinking that haynesworth wasnt the biggest scumbag clown in the universe. ever wonder why jeff fisher let him waltz out of tennessee? surely hes a bad coach too. unreal. 13 games in, were 5-8 and getting younger, and people want zorn and campbell back. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think the fundamentals are in place, now it's a matter of getting "Shanny's guys" and building the team as he and B. Allen see fit. My prediction...Next season we're a 9-7 type team, and the following year a 10-6 / 11-5 type team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laxpck Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 No Vinny Cerrato making decisions, that is 100 times better than last year. Unfortunately we are going to be cleaning the mess up from the previous decisions for multiple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A switch to the 3-4 was bound to happen, this league is becoming more pass oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derskinsfan Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Dumping the bulk of salaries into the uncapped year! This doesn't get talked about much, but it could prove to be the best thing we've done in the past decade and it HAD to be done to even talk about rebuilding.
