.....Art said:This is a poll to ask a question that I'd like you to answer. Do not answer your personal thoughts. Answer the question. The question is simple. When the offseason began you thought we needed a defensive lineman. The team has added four guys in the secondary, three linebackers and no linemen.
Do you think the people who coach our team have a better grasp of what was weak last year than you do? That's it.
I'm not asking you to evaluate whether Vinny knows squat. I'm not talking about Dan Snyder or even Joe Gibbs. Do you believe, honestly, as fans that YOU know more about what defenses we're running, what the players are asked to do, and evaluating those players points to a certain weakness more than Gregg Williams, Greg Blache, Jerry Gray, Kirk Olividotti and Steve Jackson?
If you answer yes, you may believe you better understand our defenses, play calls, playbook and needs. If you answer no, AND you say we need a defensive lineman still, apologize to the rest of us . Please. .

Once you answer, you'll probably be free enough to answer what that reason is and, as a kind man, I'll tell you.
It's that the defensive line was the LEAST of our needs or concerns last year and while it IS aging, and it WILL need more bodies, the fact remains, the secondary and linebacker needed both things much, much more right NOW. You can't do everything, every year. But you also can't deny our priorities weren't clear and well executed.

Won't speak for others cuz I've got no beef with the guy. Never met him. Never had a convo with him. But his logic and ability to seemingly justify every move the Skins make is amusing to watch. The way he twists everything to where he's ALWAYS right is just pure poetry in motion. I applaud the man.SkinsHokieFan;1480850 said:The obsession is hilarious. I am curious what did Art ever do to you guys to have you talking about him all the time?

silverbear;1480739 said:But that's Art, right down to the ground... he only pulls his head out of Gibb's and Snyder's respective anal orifices long enough to crank out another diatribe, then he disappears back to his familiar, comfortable surroundings...
The Skins put up 19 sacks last year, the first time since 2003 that ANY team had failed to post at least 20 sacks... that total was six sacks lower than the next worst team... but Art doesn't think the Skins needed to address their pass rush...
That stance alone demonstrates that he knows next to nothing about football...

Crown Royal;1481623 said:SkinsHokieFan - he has never done anything to me, and I seldom go over there. But the stuff he writes is very entertaining and fun to look at. The man can't bring it upon himself to criticize the front office.
He wrote something about how great an 'idea' archuleta was, just that it didn't work out. But he quoted the idea as brilliant, and claimed that for tthat, the front office was right.
But that doesn't matter. I think it's a great idea to have a QB. Doesn't mean I am above reproach if I choose Quincy Carter to be my QB.
