This quote about Landry pretty much sums it up for me.

"I think instead of "beast" his new nickname should be "The magician." Because more often then not he's a disappearing act."
Well if you let him go that's another hole to fill, because there's nobody else on this roster that is starting caliber at his spot.

Austin and Armstrong on the same side? One guy is going to stretch the field the other is going to sit in coverage for a 8 yard gain on 3rd and 10.

Pick your best 3 WRs and play them the whole game unless they are tired or injured.
I think it's time to move on From Anthony Armstrong and Gaffney. We need to see if Hankerson, Austin and Paul can become quality players.
Everytime they send in a new WR package, they are telegraphing their plays.

The Shanahans are so cocky that they think they can telegraph their plays and still beat a defense.
I just don't understand why all the rotating of the wr's either. Makes no sense to me at all. Hankerson caught a ball at the start and then got yanked.

Unfortunately you are right, but I don't think he's worth any type of major contract.

Got news for ya, if we don't pay him someone else will. I wouldn't break the bank on him, but he's certainly worthy of a top 5-10 contract for his position.

Firing people is not the answer! Redskins fans hate and criticize Snyder but so many of them are even more impulsive and impatient then he is. Yesterday was as ugly as it gets but you don't fire people a year and a half into a rebuild...

I must have missed the end arounds cause all I kept seeing through the whole 1st half was the run up the middle/between the tackles which got stuffed all day. I saw one good run up the middle for about 4-5 yrds. Then it got stuffed on the very next play. So where was the RB supposed to go? If the middle is getting stuffed then you try to get to the edge and possibly spread the defense out enough to run up the middle.

You gotta see Shanahan's plan through to the end. No matter if it works or leads us in even deeper. Good coaches will want to coach for an owner that gives them control and has deep pockets and let's them develop their team. Not one wants to work for an owner that has no faith in his coaches. For the sake of our next coach, we have to stay the course with this coach.

I like Landry, he's a beast. But he's really only good at being a Strong Safety stopping the run or rushing the QB. He's a huge liability in coverage. What to do with him? I honestly don't know. Either play to his strengths or trade him for someone who can cover.

I'm with you. MS signed a 5 yr deal and he should be given the 5 yrs. I'm so tired of the 2 and out HC's. None get a chance to empliment their scheme before being fired for the next great thing to not do anything.

This team had no developed players thanks to Cerrato. Give the new coaching staff the time to get all the pieces. MS is proven. He took the Bronco's to the SB twice and went as a 49er.

Re: Smoot lays the smack down (Skins/Bills) - mattyk edition

Fans are so quick to pull the trigger, but never in positive way. Had we won 23-0 yesterday there would probably not have been any "We need to lock up Beck long term! "Kyle has to be named the official successor now!!!" "What are good hotels in Indianapolis? I'm booking my tickets for the Super Bowl TODAY!!!!" "Whatever Fred Davis makes we should triple it now!!!!" threads. But when they lose it's a fire sale.

When was the last time the fans made sense? Can't expect much logic after a shutout and a three-game losing streak. But agreed, firing Shanahan is pretty ridiculous at this point.

Mike Wise says his Quarterback picker is broken. He's "O" for so far.

Get some guys back from injury, continue to upgrade starting postions (ILB, Oline, QB) while building depth, draft a QB or a couple, maybe add a Vet QB to the roster. Keep the coaching staff intact...we will be fine. We are rebuilding.

I am not one of those fans. I've said from the beginning about LL and Hall and my thoughts about the two. I've also stated that we have no better option at this point and need to roll with them. My thoughts wouldn't have changed if we did win 23-0, and LL was a beast. I don't think one good year ended early by injury is a reason to lock up a person to a huge contract. I'm in the mindset that consistency should play a part in contracts, not flash in the pans. I understand you probably weren't talking to me directly with the quote, but I just wanted to respond anyway.


Also, I seriously want to punch any fan in the nuts that is calling for the Shanahans to be fired. I hate fans like that, and they are the exact clone of Snyder. You know, the guy they spend endless amounts of time hating and despising, yet they are JUST like him to a T.
