Week Thirteen Questions – Special Edition
Welcome to week thirteen questions and grades as the Redskins were routed by the Colts in another exercise of football futility. BBQ is ditching the grading format this week as much of it is dismal (Colt McCoy being the exception) and a special question and answer format is presented. We’re also ditching the blog format for this special edition. You are welcome to answer any and all questions and the writer of BBQ will be an active participant too.
1. Keeping Robert Griffin, III next year will not have an impact on the 2015 cap. Releasing him would cost about $6.7 million and trading him triggers the same amount. Do we keep him, release him, or make a trade?
2. Jay Gruden could be on the hotseat. Do we keep him or fire him?
3. It is a given that most fans want Jim Haslett to be fired. However, under what conditions should he stay? Should Jay Gruden be seen as the person who takes charge or should the decision come from higher up? If Haslett is fired, who would you like to see as a replacement?
4. Do you feel comfortable with Colt McCoy as the starter at QB? Is it possible that he has turned the corner and can be a reliable option for the Redskins in the future?
5. It is possible that Brian Orakpo could return on a very favorable contract for the team. Are you in favor of such a move?
6. Which players would you target in the upcoming free agency period for 2015?
7. Which players would you target in the upcoming 2015 draft?
8. How would you feel if Raheem Morris is promoted to defensive coordinator? Should the team cut ties with him?
9. Should the team hire a football GM and move Bruce Allen to a business GM role? Should Bruce Allen be fired altogether?
10. If you may, list twenty or more players that are currently on the roster that you would build the team around for the future. Feel free to list the attributes of each player or just post a simple list.
11. In recent days, we have seen conflicting reports about Griffin (he is gone, he’s staying). Which report do you believe?
12. Finally, the name change issue probably comes to the forefront once again in the offseason. All of us have made our preferences known in this forum. Would you be interested in a compromise? The new team name could come from a local tribe – the Powhatans. Team colors would remain the same and the logo as well. Forming an alliance with the Powhatans of today could be a win-win situation. Your thoughts and ideas are welcomed.
Week thirteen passes into the history books. The regular format and blog will return next week. On to week fourteen and a home game against the Rams.
See you again next week.
Hail to the Redskins!
