If the Redskins could not only turn six 2011 draft picks into twelve, but also get all twelve of them to make the active roster (excluding Jarvis Jenkins who was on IR), I can't help but be thrilled to see how the Redskins 2012 draft shakes out. In short, I need to get all my Redskins jokes in while I can. Parodies like this surely won't fly when we have a Quarterback that completes more passes to our receivers than the opposition.

I can't imagine being on the marketing team to help sell this Redskins team coming off 4 and 5 win seasons (I'd be surprised if one happens this year). The Redskins did not have a slogan last year after 2010's "The Future is Now" and the club-level ad campaign for "R U In?" were not well received. So, here are some ideas that likely will never see print:

Reason for rejecting: "We can't put all of our chips in one basket...that's the only thing McNabb taught us. This also sort of implies that fans didn't care at one point."

Alright guys...we are trying to branch out a little and your help is greatly appreciated. Together with our friends Sebastian Salazar and Chase Hughes over at Comcast Sportsnet, Kevin and I are trying to put out a bit more video content this year. I want to thank Taylor Young as well, who is the master of shooting and editing the video.

Give the video a click and try your hardest to let it play to the end! We have a lot of great ideas floating around and we have a team in place to get them executed, so hopefully as the year progresses you will see better and better products--though we are very proud of this initial video offering.

Harry and Clint have been too upset to get back in front of a camera, so in the meantime, we're posting this video of The Office - a look inside the Redskins marketing department.

Happy Holidays everyone. Enjoy.

We all know at least one in each category. Which one are you?

"I remember when this team was good" guy

Your rationale - We'll never return to the glory years. You win with OLine and smash mouth football. Joe Gibbs, Bobby Beathard, and Jack Kent Cooke knew how to run a team. This sucks. I sold my season tickets a long time ago.

When we win you say - "About damn time."

When we lose you say - "Told you so!"

Your jersey - Riggins.

Blind Optimist guy

About you -  You own a Redskins Snuggie, your car has Redskins magnets on the doors, and each window has the flag. You have a Redskins-themed basement and at least one person in your family wears something Redskins related every day of the week....including in March. If someone asked you what a seam route is, you would reply "I stopped sewing years ago," yet you know exactly what is wrong with this team.

When we win you say: "HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!! I LOVE MY TEAM! We will fight on!!"

When we lose you say: "HAIL TO THE REDSKINS!!! I LOVE MY TEAM! We will fight on!!"

Jerseys purchased the last 4 seasons (from team store of course): Randle El, Colt Brennan, McNabb (all three types: red, white, and black), Haynesworth, Banks, Beck (custom made), Kerrigan

ESPN posted an article yesterday called, "Inside the Mind of a NFL GM," which includes the mandatory steps on handling NFL free agency by......Vinny Cerrato. I stopped reading when my eyes recorded "Coach-GM balance is critical." Really? None of our coaches wanted Haynesworth or Jason Taylor. I digress. Here's how I envision your 2011 Washington Redskins if Cerrato, not Bruce Allen, was given the keys to free agency next week:

The Redskins certainly are on the right path, but there was no shortage of drama, which is usually the case when so many big named players and staff are in a major market. Here's the good and bad of the last 16 months. Enjoy.
