And I get the feeling he's going to do whatever it takes. After the team's first exhibition game, for instance, Snyder ripped offensive tackle Joe Patton for a blown assignment that allowed a sack. Soon after, the Redskins released Patton. The team responded with a 28-3 victory at Arizona. In part, because everyone fears the consequences.
Nobody wants to be embarrassed.
Johnson was among the five players that met with Snyder following the loss in Detroit. Turner has been cool, too, handling the pressure admirably. A week after the well-publicized Dallas debriefing, Turner's team routed the Chicago Bears. I was in a meeting with Mr. Snyder. But he's been nothing but encouraging this whole year.
