bird_1972 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 It's about the easiest thing to implement with some cash and we know Danny has never been afraid to spend. Not as sexy as overpaying for someone in free agency. Snyder lacks the intelligence and business savvy to understand what it means to invest in the core of one's business.

Reaper 21 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Snyder is very cheap, the huge misconception is that he spends money like crazy. Yea he does on players/coaches but he makes that up in merchandise sales, tickets, etc. he will only spend money he knows he will get back. Things that are important to winning but unseen by fans, scouting department, trainers, stadium upgrades, artificial turf, locker rooms, are all well below league average.

DogofWar1 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Matt Terl @matt_terl 27m27 minutes ago If I'm Jay Gruden, I really prefer someone without any head coaching experience in that DC spot. Which probably means Joe Barry, since Donatell doesn't have the Tampa/Tusker connection Barry does. Ugh. Hopefully it's not in Jay's hands, and hopefully AJ Smith, assuming he becomes the "GM" (at least in terms of role) goes with someone more qualified instead. Wade Phillips would be fine. I think if AJ gets moved to "GM" then he should really be given the opportunity to review Jay closely. It's possible Smith was involved in the decision to hire Jay initially, but a further review a year in couldn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Maybe all of us ESers could sign up for the Dan Snyder Dinner Companion Club. Of course, Dan pays. One of us each night to sit with him and tell him how great he is. He'd be so overwhelmed with attention he might not pay attention to the team except in his box on game day. What do you think?

Gallen5862 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 www.nfl.com/draft/2014/profiles/james-gayle?id=2543766OVERVIEWUncle, Shaun Gayle, was a Pro Bowl safety for the Bears (1984-95). James is a Virginia native. Played defensive end for the Hokies. ANALYSISSTRENGTHS Excellent height-weight-speed ratio. Looks the part and has weight-room strength. Explosive athlete with rare leaping ability for his size -- posted a 37-inch vertical and broad jumped 10 feet, 2 inches. Good balance and edge burst and enough flexibility to turn the corner. Dogged in pursuit and ranges all over the field to make tackles. Flattens and crashes down the line. Strong wrap tackler. Durable three-year starter. Has NFL bloodlines.WEAKNESSES Average eyes and instincts. Questionable football intelligence. Short on bulk and anchor strength to play with his hand in the dirt -- soft edge setter. Not equipped to shadow in man coverage and is unnatural playing in reverse. Limited scheme versatility. Could require short leash and extra reps.DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 3-4BOTTOM LINE Explosive, high-motor see-and-go reactor whose calling card is his ability to pressure the edge. Does not play to his weight-room numbers against the run and lacks desirable length and smarts, projecting as a situational 3-4 rush linebacker. Here is another article on James Gayle. http://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2014/6/14/5810430/james-gayle-cut-by-the-tennessee-titans James Gayle cut by the Tennessee Titans In college, Gayle was a versatile edge player that brought a lot of value to a position filled with older players like Kamerion Wimbley and Shaun Phillips. Also, with Akeem Ayersapparently having surgery on both of his knees, I thought Gayle had a strong chance to prove he was worth a rotational job to ease the strain on number 56. Unfortunately, the Titans will have to make due with what they have at the position for now and hope that they can stay healthy. Now, it should also be said that the Titans didn't have a lot invested in Gayle as an UDFA (though an expensive one) and cutting him isn't like cutting a draft pick. Also, Gayle's injury and size may be a concern for Ray Horton and the defensive coaching staff, and they may have just felt like he wasn't a fit. I am just concerned the Titans are making another LeGarrette Blount/Jack Doyle type decision where they let a talented role player go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Hmm...first the Redskins announce AJ Smith will be given an expanded role.

DeMarco Murray 29 Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Wade Phillips sounds like a good choice but if we can't properly evaluate and recruit talented players and also have a very dysfunctional organization, can he succeed? I have my doubts. Camp Cupcake. In Washington? I like. All joking aside, Phillips is a **** good coordinator. Definitely not Head coach material, but top notch D-Coach. Will get the most of some guys, but not enough out of some. But considering who you guys have had, major upgrade. But if i'm the Skins, I go for fresh blood. Phillips to me, lacks the killer instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Lol dinner partner. Dan is such a lonely loser. This best friends club is bordering on just sad now. The guy just wants to be liked. You know, I've rarely felt anger toward Snyder in the 15 years he's owned the team. I've been frustrated and confused a lot, but rarely angry. From time to time (mostly back in the early 2000s) I would get angry during games...but that was more about on-field things like penalties, turnovers, play calls, etc. However, when I really think about this statement, it makes me pretty livid. I'm pissed that this man has taken OUR team (a team of which he's supposed to be a steward and caretaker) and is essentially using it as a vehicle to make friends and fill up his life. It's one thing if that happened initially. It's still irritating, but you could understand how a 35-year old might fall into some of these traps. But Snyder is now 50-something years old, married to a breast cancer survivor, and has some kids. With all the social opportunities that just come automatically with being the owner of the Redskins, why in the flying **** does he need to hire people to run his team so that they'll be friends with him? He can do the appearances, shake hands with famous people, and leave the football guys to do football teams so that he can eventually be the owner of a championship-caliber team. It's pretty infuriating. Sorry, just had to vent...I'm usually pretty level-headed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting, and somewhat fitting for him to end his career there, he cut his teeth with Walsh and Montana as OC before Denver. He's definitely got some people who know his name and probably think of him fondly out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Yeah, I was laughing at the idea of the Shanahan's reps being ruined after leaving here and the number of folks who seem to believe such would happen. I was just reading one of those posts we've seen more of recently, lamenting GW's absence. But another member pointed out we had a large percentage of posters who regularly went nuts over the "bend but don't break" strategy claimed to be a GW staple and all the associated collapses/losses during his tenure. And how often GW's schemes were described as "great for stats" but not for winning against play off caliber competition. I also remember all the screaming then about the huge cushions given on most passing downs and the "inevitable" conversion of opponents on the 3rd and longs, just like now. And just as most of the coach/qb arguments have been very reminiscent to past events that featured totally different casts of Redskins characters.
