Heres the thing. It will be the fourth year. And if we finish comparable to our current record, a 4th straight season of being below .500.

Like I've said before, I root for our coaches. I think Mike has done well with AM and the Oline. But the real reason we are clicking on offense is because of RG3. I believe that RG3 is having some of his success in spite of the playcalling, making something out of nothing. Im sure some successes can be directly attributed to the brilliant mind that is Kyle Shanahan. If I had to take one or the other, Id wager that RG3 would be doing just fine without Kyle Shanahan, and that Kyle Shanahan would still be stinking it up without the all universe QB they now have to lean on.

Guess we'll know soon enough.

Um maybe some would be stubborn or stupid enough to say " hey were gonna make you a pure pocket passer and not really allow you to get outside the pocket and make plays Robert". Lol. How much credit do they deserve for letting RG-3 be RG-3? But ok Kyle gets a check mark for not making the wrong decision there.

I doubt it. I think RG3's performance will "earn" the Shandem another year, possibly two if he just starts to go out of his mind ridiculous.

No one in their right mind would fire Kyle Shanahan this year.

I'm confused here, is Kyle leaving after this year?

Meks · 10-22-2012, 03:51 PM

doubtful... i think the offense will continue to get better, and some of his facepalm play calls should start to disappear and he may just earn his spot here for years to come working hand in hand with RG3

Yes. Jon Gruden is coming in and we're trading for Jay Cutler AND Brandon Marshall.

Welcome to The Warpath.

It's ridiculous to already discuss our offensive coordinator leaving after 7 games. Ntm our offense is a top 5 in the league smh.

Yeah, I'm just playing, especially in a post to Smootsmack (glad he didn't change his). I love Cooley and I'm too lazy to change my username anyway, I hear it takes a super-majority among the moderators, and Smooty's been filibustering most requests, not to mention how much Matty loves to use of his veto power. Stinkin checks and balances and separation of powers. I propose an amendment to the Warpath Constitution.

Back on track, I do hope Cooley can get back into a game or two, but I fear his loss of speed will make him only a possession, move the chains, tight end that won't stretch defenses the way Davis has and will allow defenses to stack the box more. Either way, I think this means Cooley will likely retire a Redskin without having played for another team. I'm a sentimental guy, so I hate seeing players finish out their careers with a year or two in a strange jersey like Monk with the Jets of Montana with the Chiefs (although I understand why they do it and I certainly would too if offered a similar opportunity).

I'll miss Davis's speed, but maybe we'll get him for relatively cheap for a year or two extension now. Hope he recovers quickly.
