Of course, I had blindly optimistic hopes for the team...I always do as a true fan...but there was a LOT to fix with a 4-12 team with no offensive line whatsoever...more than could be fixed in a single year.

We've made a lot more progress than our record shows. I'm a bit worried about the defensive scheme, but individuals have played well on defense. The 4-3 to 3-4 move is rarely smooth.

Agree the Skins changed course when Vinny turned in the keys to the executive wash room. And I defnitely agree the change in course was a positive one.

I must say however that I really do not know how much Bruce Allen has had to do with the new direction of the team - - other than to be a figurehead and a pointman for marketing/PR/communications activities. It sure looks to me as if Mike Shanahan is the main man and Bruce Allen handles contracts and salary caps and community stuff only.
