This is still clearly a Joe Gibbs-type of team. You’ve got the same Doug Williams type of pocket quarterback with a cannon arm. There’s our corps of running backs who like to be bruising and physical. And even though our offensive line is as makeshift as the roof on the Superdome during Katrina, they are still an aging/veteran O-line with a tendency to like run blocking more. Our offense cannot play the finesse game of the West Coast Offense. But if we do overhaul our offense then we would have to act now. JC’s contract is up after this year and there are still lingering whispers of Zorn’s fate.
The sign ban is out thankfully but looking at the positives of things, the ban was a good thing. Why? Because actions speak louder than words. Although Snyder rarely says anything publicly about the team, and fans wonder if anything is getting through Snyder…clearly the people bringing in the signs got through to him. Disparaging remarks about Snyder and Vinny Cerrato lead to the sign ban. And our local media coverage as well as national coverage led to the removal of the sign ban. So what does this all mean? It means that there is a slightly better possibility after this season that Snyder will listen to the fans and everyone who knows a thing about the Redskins. That Snyder’s meddling has impeded any progress of this franchise and it might just stop because of the way our fans are so vocal about the Redskins. At the end of the day, DC is still a football town.
