Redskins Executive V.P. Vinny Cerrato has added some additional lines to his job description.

Starting today, Cerrato will have a two-hour show, twice per week, on ESPN 980, which like the Redskins is owned by Daniel Snyder.

The show, dubbed “Inside the Red Zone With Vinny Cerrato,” will air from 10:00 a.m. to noon local time, and will involve calls from from listeners and guests.

(Full disclosure:  We’ve been approached about doing a periodic spot on the show.)

Cerrato’s radio venture will air on Mondays and Fridays.

As Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post has observed, Mondays are ”the busiest personnel day of the week, with tape to be broken down of your own team, film to be looked at of other players, lists to be compiled of free agents to bring in.”

“I’ve never heard of anything like that before, and I’ve been in this business a long time,” an unnamed NFL executive told La Canfora.  “I can’t imagine anyone else in the NFL doing this.  How can you justify spending your time like that?

“And you’re telling me this is gonna be every Monday?  The morning after a game?  They wonder why people point the finger at them over there, then they keep doing stuff that opens them up to criticism.  I can’t believe this one.”

But we’re not so sure that this will be such a huge distraction.  Cerrato has a staff working for him.  How much time on Monday morning does Cerrato spend grinding away at studying film and chasing free agents?  In a league where more than a few people like to perpetuate the notion that their passion for the game prompts them to work 20 hours per day, who’s to say that the Redskins haven’t found a way to properly staff the operation, and likewise to do their work efficiently and confidently?

Then again, if the team struggles, the perception that Cerrato isn’t working as hard as his counterparts in other cities will definitely make his non-football duties a lightning rod for fans and media who’ll wonder whether enough is being done to make the team as good as it can be.

But at least that will make for good radio.
