OK, I am going to have to say this with the, "take it with a grain of salt" prefix. I am stuck in the Baltimore sports market when I am working and the only sports in mid-day is Rob and Vinnieā¦yup, that Vinnie!
Anyway, I called them today to discuss a few things that were on topic today and ultimately slipped the Redskins in at the end.
I asked Vinnie what needed to be done in Washington. Yeah, say what you want but he has insight that none of us does. Not saying I am on board with him, this could be his bitterness shining through. But they hung up on me as soon as I asked the question.
I turned on the radio to catch the 20 second delay and this is what he said.
"Dan needs to blow it up from top to bottomā¦that means Allen and everyone else needs to go and he needs start all over again. I mean, he can keep Allen for the name and all, but they need a football guy. I was talking to Al Davis one time and he told me they didn't even let Allen in the draft strategy room when he was in Oakland."
That is not verbatim, but pretty close to what he said. I am sure there is some bitterness because Allen took his position, but I think it jibes with what many have said. Allen is not a player personnel guy, we need that if we are going to turn this ship around.
Can Dan Snyder do it?
Well, he hasn't after 15 years, so...
