 player on injured reserve for the season. Reserve offensive lineman Austin Howard has been placed on IR with a pectoral injury. In a corresponding roster move http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-da_ron-payne-jersey , the Redskins have signed T Timon Parris from the practice squad. Washington needed to add another tackle because #1 back OT Ty Nsekhe was ruled out for tomorrow’s game in Tennessee against the Titans with a knee injury. The Redskins injury problems on the offensive line continue as they will need to shuffle players again. Nsekhe was playing LG, but Tony Bergstrom practiced this week, and could make his return to the lineup.The Redskins also ruled out TE Vernon Davis and WR Maurice Harris. Both players are in the concussion protocol, and could not be cleared in time to travel with the team. Washington is also missing TE Jordan Reed for tomorrow’s game so Jeremy Sprinkle will get the start with Matt Flanagan backing him up. Josh Doctson is also questionable after having back spasms following Wednesday’s practice. Josh Johnson is going to be missing a lot of his weapons this week. The 5 o’clock club is published Wednesday to Saturday during the season, and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.Note:I’ve had today’s article on GM candidates ready for a week or two, and was holding it until today so that it would be more “timely”.Seems I waited one or two days too long.https://www.hogshaven.com/2018/12/26/18156856/bruce-allen-continues-winning-off-the-field-new-redskins-business-executives-wiped-outIn light of the decisions on Lafemina, Ziff and Kline, along with the resignation of Bye (apropos name http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-dustin-hopkins-jersey , I guess), I could have dumped this article and written a different one, but... well... I figured I’d just run with this list of respected NFL personnel people and executives as a sort of protest against Wednesday’s particular idiocy from Dan Snyder.Just when you think he might be ready to pay attention...Here’s a few paragraphs from Liz Clarke’s story about the shakeup in the Redskins front office yesterday:The 5 O’Clock Club: Shopping for a man to ‘buy the groceries’Who is Dan Hatman?Dan Hatman is a guy with a reputation as a scout and evaluator of talent in the NFL.Here’s a quick profile I grabbed from one website that popped up on a Google search:Why should I care?Well, mainly because he wrote an article that I want to reference today, and I thought I’d remove any question about whether the author was a kid writing articles while eating meatloaf in his mom’s basement.The article I want to reference is titled, 2019 NFL General Manager Candidate Study.Here’s Dan’s explanation of what he’s trying to accomplish with this article:Dan has some evidence that his method is fairly predictive — at least for GM openings that are not filled internally.The RedskinsI mention this because a lot of people seem to feel that the time has finally come — meaning that there are enough empty seats at FedEx Stadium — for Dan Snyder to finally come to grips with the inevitable and make sweeping changes (or at least one big change) to the front office of the Redskins franchise.In short, it seems like it might finally be time to fire Bruce Allen.Of course, Bruce isn’t the GM http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-morgan-moses-jersey , he’s the President.And, isn’t Doug Williams the GM?No.Doug is the Senior Vice President of Player Personnel.The Redskins, of course, don’t have a General Manager.They haven’t had one since Scot McCloughan’s ugly termination a while back.I’ve assumed that the reason had something to do with defending the grievance that Scot filed against the team, but that is in the past now.If Bruce were to be fired on Monday, I think that all bets would be off about whether the current organization would be retained.Chances are, whether the team simply re-shuffled the front office team without bringing in an outside personnel professional, or whether they did bring in some new blood http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jordan-reed-jersey , the organizational structure would not survive intact.There has been a lot of speculation in the press recently about what an internal re-organization might look like.Eric Schaffer, perhaps, replacing Bruce as the top guy in charge; Kyle Smith moving into a GM role... something like that.But there’s always the possibility that Dan may feel that the current structure is a bit too cozy, and he may be seeking new ideas and new direction. If that’s the case, then the list put together by Dan Hatman may give some indication of the universe of candidates that Snyder would likely be looking at in choosing a new General Manager.Hatman divides his list into groups.Oft-mentioned GM Candidates that tend to decline interviews:Nick Caserio – director of player personnel – New England PatriotsWill McClay – vice president, player personnel – Dallas CowboysDuke Tobin – director of player personnel – Cincinnati BengalsCandidates with multiple 2017 or 2018 interviews:Scott Fitterer – co-director of player personnel – Seattle SeahawksKnown interviews: 2017: SF / IND / KCTrent Kirchner – co-director of player personnel – Seattle SeahawksKnown interviews: 2015: NYJ / 2016: DET / 2017:SF, INDGeorge Paton – vice president of player personnel/assistant gm – Minnesota VikingsKnown interviews: 2012: STL / 2013: CAR / 2017: SF, INDJimmy Raye III – senior personnel executive – Detroit LionsKnown interviews: 2009: KC / 2010: SEA / 2012: CHI / 2013: SD / 2017: SF http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-quinton-dunbar-jersey , IND / 2018: HST, CARLouis Riddick – nfl analyst – ESPNKnown interviews: 2010: PHI / 2017: SF, NYGEliot Wolf – assistant general manager – Cleveland BrownsKnown interviews: 2017: SF, IND / 2018: GBCandidates with one 2017 or 2018 interview:Kevin Abrams – vice president of football operations/assistant general manager – New York GiantsKnown interviews: 2007: NYG / 2016: DET / 2017: NYGMike Borgonzi – director of football operations – Kansas City Chiefs2017: KCTrey Brown – executive vp of football operations – Memphis Express (AAF)2017: BUFRyan Cowden – vice president of player personnel – Tennessee Titans2017: KCLake Dawson – assistant director of college scouting – Buffalo Bills2012: STL / 2013: CAR / 2014: MIA, TB / 2015: CHI / 2018: CARTerry McDonough – vice president of player personnel – Arizona CardinalsKnown interviews: 2017: SFMarc Ross – unknown – none knownKnown interviews: 2010: SEA / 2012: IND, CHI / 2013: JAX, NYJ, SD http://www.redskinscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-quinton-dunbar-jersey , CAR / 2014: MIA, TB / 2016: TEN / 2017: NYGPrevious General Managers who appear most likely to gain another opportunity this year:Jeff Ireland – assistant general manager – New Orleans SaintsReggie McKenzie – former general manager – previously Oakland RaidersScott Pioli – assistant general manager – Atlanta FalconsBrian Xanders – senior personnel executive – Los Angeles RamsCandidates from the Insiders lists on teams in the playoff hunt:Ed Dodds – assistant general manager – Indianapolis ColtsJoe Douglas – vice president of player personnel – Philadelphia EaglesJoe Hortiz – director of college scouting – Baltimore RavensBrandon Hunt – pro scouting coordinator – Pittsburgh SteelersJosh Lucas – director of player personnel – Chicago BearsMonti Ossenfort – director of college scouting – New England PatriotsJamaal Stephenson – director of college scouting – Minnesota VikingsHatman ends his article with these thoughts:Read a related story published today on Pro Football Talk: Click here for linkThe poll question now seems irrelevant, but, as before, I’ll leave it in place Custom Carolina Panthers Jerseys
