Random Commanders Thoughts

My coffee hasn't kicked in yet DM.

What's the problem?

 

[Dead Money]

Read my post above the one you replied to... Just sick of press conferences and offseason wins. Just do your job the press can write about it later.

You were up at 0500... If your coffee ain't done it yet I'm doubting it will!

 

[Ax]

Yeah, I saw that post. I'm just having trouble thinking of any organization, that has our kind of following, that doesn't have a presser to announce hiring a GM.

It would be refreshing to break the mold. Just like I'm not a fan of players being on social media every 10 Sec... I hate the press conference mentality.

I agree. But the genie is out of the bottle already. And for every 1 fan wishing for fewer pressers, there's a thousand screaming for more. With exact details of every move in the plan going forward.

Everything in the NFL industry is about hype, Redskins are no different and did it not keep us glued to this forum and media outlets?

No such thing as a media vacuum anymore and a lot of it is dictated by the NFL itself. Just making (innocent) inquiries will get agents online to spread the word, that's what they do.

I'm pretty sure that most events of this type have had introductory pressers, going back to whenever, regardless of who owned and managed this team.

Hate it or love it, we're all willing participants.

Press conference at 12:30 today.

I just saw on twitter it's at noon.

Yeah I see it chanced on the team site as well.

Lying bastards.

Some of the questions are just embarrassing. Who are these people and how to they get/keep their jobs?

 

[DixieFlatline]

I thought he and Allen handled the ones about his personal life well.

 

[Win4us]

Just glancing over our salary cap for next season. IF I'm reading this right (probably not), we go from $16M this yr to $1M in dead cap $ next yr. Then again I've always sucked at math so who knows.

Washington Redskins Salary Cap - Over the Cap

 

[Ax]

Saw that too. But there will surely be some from cuts that will be made this offseason.

 

[Win4us]

Didn't even see Oparko on the 2015 list. Can see him Cofield, Bowen and possibly Pierre gone unless there's some serious restructuring. Not sure what's a normal pay for a LT but seems Trent needs a redo as well.

Rak is a free agent as of March 10 unless we sign him to a new deal..

I agree about Pierre possibly being restructured though.

 

[Win4us]

Said before I would mind him coming back, under a MUCH reduced salary tho. Dude can bull rush some of the best LT's around. Would like to see him gain weight and do it lined over the C/G spots on pass downs.

Big Mac def has his hands full with decisions.

 

[DixieFlatline]

I think Rak is going to go cash in on the $$ somewhere else.

 

[Boone]

He can't stay on the field - ever. I don't think his career will last with the chronic pectoral injuries. We need to cut our losses and move on.

 

[McD5]

Former HC Eric Mangini is now scheduled to interview for the DC position tomorrow.

Maybe Wade didn't work out? Or it could be posturing.

Let him.
