well, if we are in the cellar this year, in terms of defense, i know that jim haslett can kiss his overrated ass goodbye. two strait years of being 31st in the nfl in total defense wouldnt really fly around here, not when you took over a defense that consistently were in the top 10 in all defensive rankings (except sacks), and all that despite an offense that couldnt move the ball even if they bought it a taxi ride and a plane ticket.

People seem to forget that shanahans defenses in denver were in the basement of the league rankings the last 6-7 years there. He is hardly a defensive genius. I think that his switch to the 34 from a solid 43, even without the correct personnel to do so, says alot. We'll see how far the skins fans let him ride out mediocrity. without a john elway, it just doesnt seem like he has done much. at least gibbs did it with different quarterbacks, backup quarterbacks, and whoever the hell else. Shanny hasn't really proven much, except that he can turn young undrafted rookie rbs into pro bowlers, and that really doesnt take us too far right now, does it?

for now, I maintain my cautious optimism that the skins are headed in the right direction.
