Does he like the word “re-retiring” because that’s what he needs to do.

When Ozzie Newsome is savvy enough to pick up offensive line help that contributed right away, in Andre Gurode and Brant McKinney, for next to nothing, from off the couch…

As a Skins fan I don’t know if the front office is ever going to get it together.

I do like the last few draft classes though. Definite potential. He’s just hilariously awful with the media.

Haha

You cannot turn over the whole roster in one off season. At least they’ve finally started turning over the roster. This is a sign of better things to come in and of itself. But the biggest single thing on the to-do list- a young, big, nasty group of offensive linemen. This will fix all the other problems on both sides of the ball.

Where is Snyder? Havnt heard from shorty in a while. How long before he implodes and goes retro? It says a lot when all you hear about is coming from Shanny. No Bruce, no Snyder.
No players bypassing the coach to the owner. Bizzaro skins.

It’s not so much the word, as was evident in his utterance of it, as WHO was saying it.

“A” types don’t want others speaking for them and if you let a nerd with a pen dictate to you in your press conference, then you’ve lost.

That being said – I like the direction the team is headed. I disagree with pretty much all of it, esthetically. But at least there was progress from last week. Helu learned by the 3rd 1/4 that the holes won’t be bigger – just hit ‘em now. And it was nice to see Hankerson.

Just do me a favor and fire Danny Smith.

F it. Call in Favre for the rest of the season. It will be entertaining if nothing else.

I can’t imagine what Snyder has Against a franchise qb…

Does he like other words like “Awful” “Disappointing” and “Bad offensive coordinator”

What about expressions like we are so bad “I should put a brown paper bag over my head”?

“I’m the one that told Kyle not to come.”

I don’t get it. You are the head coach. Didn’t you get to pick your own offensive coordinator? Who asked Kyle to join the staff if not Mike?

Did Kyle ever figure out what the plays are, or is he still just saying a number like he is ordering from a Chinese menu?

Ducks in a row? mmmmm, Kyle’s favorite dish is Peking Duck.

I’m glad the skins started to lose after putting beck in, serves them right! Grossman played pretty good and he has one off game like normal qb’s do and he’s benched for beck. What kind of a-hole would bench a qb after one bad game after he just won 3?

Shanny doesn’t like the word rebuilding or offense, score, develop, McNabb, Hayensworth, talent and of course “shut out” my bad that is two words. I hope he enjoys doing press conferences from his house a year from now when he host another losing season and gets fired finally.

Shanarat is grasping at straws. And if you catch him in a lie, he will just lie his way out, like you can’t see the rat squirm.His attempt at a dynasty with young kyle shanarat is failing. The Ryans they’re not.

Shanahan does not care what the fans think or what the media thinks and that’s his problem. He only cares about what he thinks and clearly he thinks he’s right and they are not rebuilding. Maybe he should think about life after football.

Shanahan should rebuild his name into something respectable. Step one…rise to the Childress level. Step two…rise to Mornhinweg.

Just trade down for Luck, give away the whole fuc*in farm for him and build around that.

ya- he doesn’t want to use that word because it implies future expectations.

If they can have another draft like this last one, but get a QB and a few big time offensive linemen they will be in good shape. Kyle’s going to mature, defense will keep improving. They simply need to stay the course building through the draft for 3 straight years, and keep the staff consistent….

He just doesn’t want to mislead anyone. Rebuilding implies there is an intent to eventually build something and that is simply not the Snyder-Redskins way.

*CORRECTION*

I meant to say that the Redskins will NEVER win a championship with Snyder as owner.

It must be a terrible feeling realizing you need to fire your own son. Ouch.
