BCS:BraveCaringSoul Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 when asked about Russell by George Micheals on news 4 Spurrier said he doesn't want any players with serious character issues on the team . "I hope this doesn't amount to anything. He's still under contract with the Raiders as far as I know, but I agree with you we don't need anyone with that kind of baggage on the team." Spurrier also confirmed that Wuerfull will not be suiting up for the burgundy and gold again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I'm not especially disappointed with either of those statements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmythehair Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Wouldn't it say a lot if Danny Boy brought him in anyhow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljer Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Jimmythehair Wouldn't it say a lot if Danny Boy brought him in anyhow? That..... would be the final straw. Let the COACH decide what players he needs, not the FAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofer Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Jimmythehair Wouldn't it say a lot if Danny Boy brought him in anyhow? I hope that Snyder doesn't bring him in against Spurrier's wishes. I could sorta see the point with Wuerffel, but not with Russell. Under those conditions, I would not blame Spurrier for quitting.

Tarhog Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Yeah! We can't pass rush, block, or get off either line in unison. But no one's raped anybody yet! :40oz: Now thats what I call promising! Mostly tongue-in-cheek here as I'm not sure Russell could help us this year, but that old aphorism 'beggars can't be....' is ringing in my ears....

Ancalagon the Black Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 BallCoach, can you (or any other member) confirm that? The national media and Post are still reporting that he's a possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 well, let's put it this way. Gibbs, Parcells and Walsh would have had nothing to do with Russell so, Spurrier is not alone in those thoughts about a guy with this much baggage. at the same time the front office has bungled the DL for such a long time that there is clear desperation to find any kind of a fix. Dalton has been a bust. After starting 13 games for Denver last season, has anyone seen him out there for more than a few plays here and there? he has been inactive several times. with all the problems we have had if Dalton was really in shape to make a major contribution he would have been in there. the Skins are not going to sit a superior player on the bench just to save a swap of a draft choice in the later rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Originally posted by Jimmythehair Wouldn't it say a lot if Danny Boy brought him in anyhow? It would scream "Daniel Snyder, call Ron Wolf, throw money at him, and quit being the scapegoat for everything that happens on this team. Your GM should do this job. Our GM is Dan Snyder for now.

bulldog Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 well, if the FOURTH coach in five years fails to do anything with this team over time, the only answer you can come up with is that Snyder either doesn't know how to pick his coaches or he doesn't know how to pick the players for his coaches either way, the situation cries for an experienced football executive that can hire a coach and then use the draft to select players instead of trade all the picks.

The national media and Post are still reporting that he's a possibility. All I can do is reiterate that Spurrier, when asked by George Micheals about the possibility of bringing in someone with "issues" like Darrell Russell, said that he didn't want a player like that on the team. This, of course, does not mean that we won't go ahead and sign Russell. It does, however, make it perfectly clear that our head coach would prefer he signs elsewhere.

The Wicked Wop Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 I completely understand where Spurrier is coming from......but this team needs help at this point, and he is probably the best option. I think if we do sign him, that it is understood that their will be zero tolerance to behavior like that in his past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sick Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Like out team has some kind of great chemistry going on now. This guy has GOT to want to turn his life around. I say we sign him. Bring Darrell Green in as a consultant for him. We need a jump start on D and some pass rush, and he could be both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Symbol Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Screw it, let's bring in Russell. I like the idea. I mean it, let's make our entire defensive line made up of how the Raiders and the Cowpies use to do it. Let's go to the local Federal Pen. and hire the meanest, nastiest prisoners to play on our line. If Russell can play this year and put some pressure on the QB, then Welcome to Washington.

Muskrat Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Last time I checked, Spurrier is the Head Coach, but he only concerns himself to the offensive players who actually TOUCH the ball, all other duties are relegated to his assistant coaches. This being the case, I think the Defensive line coach and Defensive coordinator should be the ones to say "yeah, we want him" or no, we don't want him".

Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 good ol snyder, you can count on him to get rid of any team spirit you have left seriously though, if ol ballcoach doesnt want him then snyder shouldnt bring him in regardless...

Dexter Manley was the poster child for bad behavior and don't forget that we drafted Timmy Smith after all his baggage in college... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posse81 Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Spurrier won't have to deal with him that much anyway, it'll be Edwards. I wonder what he has to say about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskrat Spurrier is the HC he is the one that has final say about players, he will talk to his other coaches about it but he is the one that says yes or no. I think if Synder now brings him in this is just a slap in the face to Spurrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
