So I'm not worried about what other players think as long as they know they are no longer getting a contract with the Skins to retire. Let them contact current players and ask all the questions they want.
Also remember Tom Coughlin was called a hard nosed difficult HC also his first yr and if I remember correctly there was talk of him being fired either during his first yr or after. Look at him now. Perhaps he lightened up a little and the Shanahan's can also but I'm glad there is some hard nose coaching going on for a change. Hopefully there is no more expecting a roster spot and playing time because of all the money they make.

Skins players' are "in the know" about the truth to McNabb. However, outsiders, except for the Eagles and guys like Freddie Mitchell and T.O, are probably just as well-informed as fans, which isn't very much informed. The difference is that they probably view McNabb as a brother, and thus will always blindly come to his aid, just like Redskins fans will blindly support Shanahan. Humans love to form cult of personalities, especially for powerful public male personalities.
