Smoke Signals: Marty pimpslaps Snyderrato

Remember those scouting trips that top Redskins pinheads Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato have been on to “scout” Texas QB Colt McCoy and Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen? Well, former Redskins head coach Marty Schottenheimer discussed them on his radio program yesterday. Big Stein has the relevant details:

"

“When you send Dan [Snyder] out along with Vinny Cerrato, Vinny’s going to tell him whatever he thinks Dan wants to hear,” Schottenheimer said Thursday on “The Red Zone,” the SIRIUS NFL show he hosts along with Solomon Wilcots. “Dan, God love him, I don’t know that the analysis and evaluation of quarterbacks is necessarily down his alley.”
…
“I’ve said for a long time, in my opinion the problem down there–obviously it starts at the top with Dan–but [the problem] is Cerrato,” Schottenheimer said Thursday. “I don’t particularly respect the guy. He and I had our issues when we were there. Basically what he said was, ‘Marty, Dan may be listening to you during the preseason,’ he says. ‘But wait until I get up in the owner’s box during the regular season, and then we’ll see who Dan listens to.’

“Now how’s that? How’s that? And of course, he was gone within the week but re-hired shortly after I departed. So now, Dan, he’s made his choice [some] time ago, but I’m not a big fan of Cerrato and his work.”

"

That’s fantastic. A shot at The Li’l General and who among us can’t see that smarmy Cerrato smugly telling Schottenheimer that the Idiot Upstairs listens to him — a fellow idiot — far more closely than he listens to an experienced football man like Schottenheimer? Classic stuff from Marty.

Vinny Cerrato, on his awful radio program, explained the decision to cut PK Shaun Suisham. The reasons are what you’d expect, but the question I have is this: Wasn’t this Jim Zorn’s decision? Is it naive of me to think that the head coach makes those calls during the season?

If you’re really intent on punishing yourself, read this about Cerrato’s radio interview with Jimmy Clausen.
