Re: Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

So, what was the injury tally from last night's game? Has that been fleshed out yet, or is it going to take a day or so?

Re: Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

I was just happy to see someone at the center position other than Rabach, he has been terririble for the last 3 years and it seemed the line got better in his absence.

Re: Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

Shanahan turned over 1/3 of the roster in a year with limited free agents. You can't rebuild a team in one year. We're going to see more change next year.

Ultimately, high turnover is the reason we re-signed Rabach, but its still not a good reason. I mean, Montgomery was horrible last year (has been a lot better this year) and you can see the difference he made in pass protection in this game in the middle.

Great point.
It amazes me how impatient the Redskins fans are. They loose sight that Shanahan and Allen inherited a 4-12 mess that we can call a team.
To be 5-5 at this point is an improvement, we have won more games than all of last year.
It's funny how in the past almost everyone gave Snyder shit for being impatient and not building a team the old fashion way. Now that we finally are building a team over time, some are saying it taking too long or we are not doing it fast enough. Redskins fans are never happy.

I agree alot of fans are impatient. I think, though, that you are seeing a bit of the extreme fan in the blogging world though. It's not a full sample size of fans. Same thing on the radio, the fans you hear from are generally "extreme" fans. Not that those fans that aren't posting are not big time fans, they just aren't letting their opinions out.

It's going to take some time and i think most fans realize that. There are some idiots out there that just want to fire everyone after a loss too. It's going to take a long time to fix what Vinny did here.

I'm pissed that we gave up future wins for a temporary improvement in record. Treading water is not going to get us to a Super Bowl.

In your opinion.
Someone's temporary improvement is someone elses last key piece to a Super Bowl roster. Remember Gibbs did not want Theisman and Riggins when he first got here? There is no 100% perfect single way to build a team. You can be stocked with a ton of great draft picks, but if you do not know how to draft (Snyderatto) and have some luck, all those picks will go to waste.
You never know what can happen in a year or two...we could win a Super Bowl with Mcnabb in the next year or two? Stranger things have happened.

Sorry pal, the Gibbs beast years had the majority of their parts come from the draft in 1981, 1982, 1983.

Never did I say solely from the draft and UDFAs. But it's the usual means of getting "hard to get talent" like elite passer rushers, QBs, etc.


Yes, they'll probably miss on some parts --sometimes MAJOR PARTS, i.e pass rusher, QB, etc-- and have to address those externally, but it's highly likely at least 50% of the starters will be from the draft. It not that the draft picks are necessarily BETTER than the outside acquisitions, but they provide a solid foundation to build on.

1982 Washington Redskins Starters, Roster, & Players - Pro-Football-Reference.com

You take a look at the starters and backups, and there are a ton of names there who either were drafted by Beathard or were UDFA by us.

Yeah, a lot big guys like Riggo and Joey T were pickups from "outside" the organization, but just as many and more were home-grown. But I said at least 50% of the starters, not all.

Re: Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

Just out of curiosity, has Shanahan ever had a late round running back named Davis that was taken in the 6th round of the draft? I don't know if he can succeed with such an unfamiliar last name.

Looks like James Davis will finally be added to the roster with Chad Simpson going on IR
