You just most succinctly nailed what bugs me about the Scherff complaints this week.

Yeah...I'm pretty happy with the pick:

Dude just pancakes people.

I think it would be dumb NOT to have read option plays built into the game plan...

Look at what seattle does with Wilson. They use elements of the read option to keep defenses off balance.

I like this option. He's likely to get hurt just rolling out of the pocket. Might as well force the ...

Snyder could be a pretty good guy with best intentions at heart. None of us know this either way. Fact is, you hear it from a lot of people that actually know him, saying he's a good guy with nothing but winning at the top of his list. ey insists that he's a great guy. Unfortunately, until now, he ...

btw - the new GM's first name is Scot ... might as well get that part right - nothing else makes much sense ....

there's an awful lot of doom and gloom speculating going on and this guy hasn't even been on the staff for a week ...

it's going to take a while for this kid to be able to help this ...

On the reservation?
I wouldnt call it cynical- you're just wrong.
I hate to beat a dead horse, but becuase you cant seem to get over the griff hate ill indulge you.

Your boy Cousins is a gutless wonder who is likely colour blind! And our options are whaaat?!
Like our new gm said- he took us to ...

From all reports Scot's evaluating every single player on the roster & also trying to figure out how to make the best out of what he's got

it's a process - let's see how it goes before we 'decide' how it's going to be

Agreed. The media in this area are pure scum. They're just trying to milk ...

In spite of what some may think, I believe Jay will insist on picking the next DC and I would bet he has some discussions about the pick with Jon.

that is an incredible thought ... you obviously have no clue about what is going on here

Unlike SJ who has private conversations with folks at ...

I like to think of him more as the frequent strike out, occasional homerun drafter. Nothing in between.

Then there's Orakpo taking up $11 mil in cap (could be two quality OL) and what do we get from him again this year???

The front office did the smart thing with Orakpo. That $11 million is the franchise tag. We part ways with him this offseason with no dead cap.

It was either that or sign him ...

Countertrey wrote:A Nose Tackle who demands double teams, and occasionally triple... who can lock down the middle gaps, and take away the inside run game. We don't need him to pressure the QB... but suck up enough blockers to allow others to.

Any draft prospects that fit that bill?

OK - that game should be a huge wake up call for this franchise

everyone, from the top down needs to be held accountable - we all have seen some bad stuff on the field but that all starts at the top

PLEASE TELL ME who is holding the GM and the HC accountable for a horrific season

we need a ...

Youd think with Cutler and Vic being the top qbs in FA and a rather weak draft class wed be a little more tolerant of the guy who brought hope back to DC.
Another year to heal.
Another full offseason to improve on his pocket skills
Another FA and draft to amp up the lines.

He hasnt even put up ...

Youd think with a subpar OL that RG3 would have a FASTER clock....but he doesn't. Im tired of this pistol crap cuz he cant drop back. Then he always fumbles. Wasted PICKS. I was high on him and now its obvious he is a project as an NFL qb. Hopefully Rex Ryan don't get any HC offers and he comes ...

I know its hard to keep the qb out of the blame game, but there isnt a qb who would be able to keep up with what this D gives up.. as good as we played in Dallas times that by 100 in how poor we played today.
HC. DC. Neither did their diligence in preparation.

Like last game the hungrier team ...

I'm getting pretty sick of Paulsen guys.

Gruden has a lot to answer for - this guy has had a terrible first season

we can complain about players and coaches but there is no accountability here and that is on the HC

Maybe its just me, but it looks tome that he's "feeling out" the team. I'm frustrated with him too, but there have been ...

That's cool. Wasn't criticizing the post or anything; just like to engage a good discussion.

That said, I'm probably too focused on the who stays who goes mentality at this point.

It's all good I do agree tho that we don't need to waste anymore picks on WRs....

We need some fat men ...

Er nah?

Stillglad they're giving him some reps. He's earned the respect; dude's been withus forever now. Sad we could never win one for him.

TimSkin wrote:That's Amerson AGAIN....

Is it the distance they're playing off the receivers or does he just look lost? I feel like I can never get a full look at his play.

God I love Breeland`s hits

Not a great decision but A. Roberts's hands are garbage....
Didn't like the play calls either

Who would we replace him with? I just don't want us wasting more picks on WRs. I'm not ready to write him off yet. He has dropped some easy ones, but has reeled in some difficult ones this year too.

What I take away from all of this is that Gruden just may be starting to design plays around the team`s talent. Execution is spotty, but its a step in a better direction; RG3 is even improving (if ever so slightly).

Offseason plan:
Linemen on both sides & DBs

IMO, yes it is that far off from being good. There are only two starting quality players, Breeland and Kerrigan. Yes, there are some other good players but would they actually be starters anywhere else? Maybe a partial year of experience and an off-season will get them there. As for Haslett, his ...
