Santana Moss Excited About Kyle and Mike

[GMScud]

The more interviews I'm reading/hearing with players since Shanahan came in- a lot of the comments... man you can really tell just how deeply in over his head Zorn was.

I listened to interviews with Kedric Golston and Lorenzo Alexander yesterday on The John Thompson show, and they both at times prefaced statements with "no disrespect to Coach Zorn, BUT..."

I mean listen to what Santana said- it's a new thing to be held accountable for being late! Sheesh.

Anyway, it looks like we're in very good hands with Shanahan. That certainly seems to be a central theme.

No doubt, seems to be a lot of love for Ray Wright too. Orakpo said some good things about the program and how it was basically a free-for-all last year like Edwin Williams mentioned. Cool that he offered to work Phillip Daniels' powerlifting into his routine too.

Actually I don't think we're giving Shanahan enough credit. Sure Zorn was in over his head but at the same time there are only a handful of coaches on par with Shanahan. Combine that with the fact that we've had a grossly mismanaged franchise for the better part of the last 10 years (only had great coaching for 4 years paired with crappy personnel moves) and you see why the players are so impressed with everything.

Thought this was interesting. Mike Wilbon shortly after Shanahan was hired:

Shanahan could be exactly what the doctor ordered to heal the Redskins. It's certainly in him. But I've got to see it first. I need to see the Redskins stop grossly overpaying players. I've got to see them become a stable organization. I've got to see them stop squandering draft picks in stupid trades. I've got to see them trust the players they already have, like Ryan Clark, and stop coveting ones they don't need, like Adam Archuleta. I've got to see owner's pets, such as Clinton Portis, stop undermining real professionals, such as Jason Campbell. (Again, if I was advising Campbell, I'd tell him to sign somewhere else, anywhere else, to get away from the continuing dysfunction of Redskins Park.)

TBD but likely

Does keeping CP count? Anyway maybe looking at guys like Alexander, Jarmon and Wilson to start opposite Orakpo counts.
