No More Snyder
For those that want to boycott Snyder and want him to sell the team, this is for you.
Ron Mervis (owner of Mervis Diamond Importers) has a son (Jon Mervis) and he decided to create a website saying that he and his father would be willing to try and purchase the Skins if they got 10,000 people to sign up to their website.
I could be wrong but I just don't see this happening. The only way anyone gets Snyder to sell the team is by money, and a lot of it. I don't know this for sure, but I don't think Ron nor Jon has 1.5 billion dollars (the value of the Redskins) laying around. However, for those that want to at least try you can sign up on the website and hope for the best.

If he can see it, why can't Zorn?
""You have a philosophy, a West Coast philosophy, and nobody fits that mold," said Hoge, who comprehensively reviewed the Tampa game on tape. "I don't think they try to take advantage of their strengths. It's like they've got a philosophy and they want to run it regardless. Shoot, I'd run the ball, run a lot of run action, stack receivers, bunch 'em coming off the line. I'd use a different philosophy to take advantage of their strengths. The West Coast is not their strength."
"The great demise for any coach is when he's unwilling to adapt his philosophy to the strengths of his personnel," Hoge said. "I don't care what level you're at, eventually you have to evaluate the strength of your personnel and adjust your philosophy to those strengths."
ESPN analyst Merril Hoge talks about the Skins, via DC Sports Bog. Can he become our head coach?

This can't be true
"The Redskins are expected to work out free-agent WR Freddie Brown on Tuesday, a league source told Scout.com. The former University of Utah product was selected in the seventh-round of the 2009 draft by the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown, who has good size, was waived by the Bengals on September 5."
Are we seriously thinking about going for another WR??? We hardly even use the WRs we have right now, so why are we even thinking about picking up another? Why do the Redskins always feel they have to look outside of the organization and pick up a player, instead of using the players on the team? They're looking at him for the practice squad right? RIGHT?

Campbell's #1 in the league
Nothing ground breaking here. Pretty much sums up what we already knew about Campbell holding onto the ball for too long. I know it's only been two games, but I didn't know he was #1 in the league thus far. Worse than Roethlisberger? Wouldn't have guessed that one.

Haynesworth's difference on the field
" Like any other defensive lineman, Haynesworth gets breaks. In the opener, Haynesworth played 45 of the Redskins defense's 61 snaps (73.7 percent)."
Haynesworth played more than I thought he did. I remember Jeff Fisher saying that Haynesworth played about 60% of their defensive snaps so obviously he was out there more for us, even though it was only one game.
This pretty much sums up Haynesworth's effectiveness for us perfectly.
BREAKING IT DOWN
Run Location-----Att-----Yds-----Avg
Away From Haynesworth-----10-----44-----4.4
At Haynesworth-----3-----(-2)-----(-0.7)
Outside On Haynesworth's side-----8-----16-----2.0
Haynesworth On Bench-----7-----48-----6.86
I admit that I was expecting more push up the middle from Haynesworth, or even a sack here or there. However, you have to admit that no one is going to successfully run on us with Haynesworth in the game.

It's starting already!
Chris Samuels didn't participate in practice because of a "knee situation." It didn't take long for his knee to start acting up did it? Do you think we should hold him out the next few games to try and get his knee into proper shape since we're playing some pretty mediocre teams?

Everyone's Talking About the Offense...
But how do you all feel about the defensive game plan? I know we did well against the run and only gave up 1TD and 3 FGs but is that enough? Is trying to stop the big play and stop the run enough to help our anemic offense? Eli did virtually whatever he wanted in the passing game, imagine if he had Plaxico Burress without the gunshot wound. I know the CBs didn't look anywhere near as good as we all expected them to, but I would have liked to have seen more man-to-man coverage from our defense, especially since that's our corners' expertise.
I want a defense that not only wants to stop the run and big plays, I want a defense that wants to stop the offensive opponents from gaining 1 yard the entire game. I want a defense that blitzes like the Ravens and Steelers and scares the crap out of offenses in the league.
Instead of our defense saying "well, at least we only gave up a FG" I want them to say "we shouldn't have given up those 25 yards, we have to limit them to 10 yards next time." I feel we are being too passive on defense and lack the aggressiveness that championship defenses have. Yes, the offense is a whole lot more passive than the defense and needs serious help, but I feel we can still improve on defense as well.
How do you all feel about the defense? More importantly, how do you all think Snyder feels about the defense?
I'm not trying to imply that Blache should be fired, but we all saw what Snyder invested into this defense. If it isn't getting the turnovers and pressure that Snyder wants he will make a change, and the change isn't likely to start with the players.

Let's all give it to Wilbon
The Washington Post is having a weekly NFL picks type of thing. Most importantly you can go against Michael Wilbon and show him that you're more of a competent "expert" than he is. At least that's why I signed up. Oh and you also get prizes if your picks beat Wilbon's picks I think.

Hmmmm... Interesting
Vinny Cerrato was on ESPN 980 yesterday and spoke about the potential 53 man roster. Here's what he said:
Via D.C. Sports Bog
He said "there's a good chance" of the team keeping a fifth running back. His radio voice made it seem like a very good chance.
"I would say that's probably, there's a good chance of that," he said. "Because what you want to do Kevin, it'll probably be 25 on offense, 25 on defense and three specialists. So it's just how you want to divide your numbers. If you want to go less at one position then you make it up on the practice squad by adding more at that position and less at the position you keep more at. So it's probably the same number of bodies, but some may be on the practice squad and not on the regular squad."
Can anyone say Marcus Mason, 5th running back? (CJHutch has said it one or two hundred times lately)
But Wait!... There's more! This is what Cerrato said in regard to there being a surprise move.
"I think there's a chance that you guys may be surprised about something," he said. "You'll just kind of wonder about it, but then you may say, 'Hmm, you know what, when you think about it, it's probably right.' "
Hmmmm... interesting...
I have no clue as to what the surprise move may be. Hopefully it'll end up being a "yes, finally he's gone!" surprise move and not a "what the hell are you doing?" surprise move. I'm not even going to try and think like Vinny Cerrato. I'll leave the guessing open to you all. How does this change your 53 man roster? Does this change it at all? Will Vinny Cerrato every be liked by anyone beside Snyder? Will Kevin and Sugar ever profess their love for one another? Will CJHutch's mancrush on Marcus Mason continue if Mason makes the team? How many times will this comment be posted on tonight's game thread?
I like what's happeningI like being in the game against a good team. That speaks well of our starters. Need to see them keep it up coming out.
Most importantly, will Kevin be able to get Sugar to wear that yellow cheerleader's outfit he bought him?
All of this and more will be answered on the next episode of... just joking :-)
Oh, and when asked what Denver wanted in order to obtain Brandon Marshall, Cerrato said this:
"I don't have the faintest idea," Cerrato said. "We like our locker room."
