Fall-out from this hire!!

[Stymietee]

While most of us are either in full smile or cautious grin mode, there is a group of people who must be feeling quite ill at ease with this hire. So, who are these people Sty? Well, in a word (or two)......the players. A great number of them cannot be happy with this move, and will find themselves in coming days and weeks having to make decisions about their futures.

A new look at the current roster, on day two of the McGloughin era, shows that there are far too many who will be moving on than staying. I have listed possible candidate categories below, who, based on the McGloughin edict, no longer fit into the new vision that defines Washington Football.

1. Aging veterans

2. unproductive or misfit free agents from other teams

3. Players who have become career injured list enrollees.

4. Smaller (in stature) players

5. Poor attitude/working regimented guys

6. Roster fillers/ serviceable players

7. Misfit draftees

8. Tradable candidates

I'm fairly sure that I've missed a category or two, but honestly by my count there are probably 8 -10 current player who will still be around to enjoy the resurgence of DC's entry into what once was the most feared division in all of pro football, the NFC East.

My expectation is that this off season we'll see the most active free agent involvement in Scot McGloughin's career. It will also be his last...... because as he's declared time and again, "You build through the draft." That statement alone, is enough for many current players, to begin having sleepless/restless nights.

Honestly, with the exception of category 8, they probably should all be gone.

Competition is the essence of sport. We all know that is the case on Sunday but it should be the case everyday. If you are a player on the Redskins and you are nervous now because the new GM was hired then you have to question your own ability to be on the team.

I honestly wish this was true, however, there are guys who make rosters, play and get paid simply because of who they are and/or reputations. A typical example here would be a guy like Ryan Clark, who was bought here specifically because of his leadership and locker room presence. Who was his competition?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what your point is, however, if you do not believe that players are drafted to teams and do not fit the particular scheme, you're wrong! It happens all of the time. In fact McGloughin talked about yesterday. Typical example here: RGIII.......who was drafted and placed in a system designed for him and not for his supporting cast. Then with the changes at coaching he became the misfit because the new system calls for a conventional QB.
