Something happened with this group of players -- and we know that because they still play in 4-3 alignments. It didn't matter what the scheme was.

#2: Okay, so it was a public relations mishap. Shanny said the wrong things. And? So what? Might as well get used to this head coach being especially cryptic about the information he's willing to release.

#3: Point taken. Housh would have been nice. Randy Moss? Ehh. Not so much.

#4: I don't know what sort of trade value McNabb would have been worth even if he played the rest of the season out. He wasn't doing well. No matter what we would have been looking at a 5th - 7th round pick in the best of circumstances.

#1: Completely disagree. Name ONE TIME when we had the front 7 you described for an entire game this season. I know when Haynesworth WAS in the game in 4-3 setups he was dominating as always. I don't remember any time where Rak, Haynesworth, Golston, and Carter were on the line at the same time. And you think our defense would be worse than 32nd in the league, which we are?? Allowing 135 rushing yards and 260 passing yards a game while allowing 23.8 points per?? That's 23 more rushing and 53 more passing yards per game compared to last year. We also have allowed the most 10+ play drives in the NFL. As Keyshawn would say... "Come on, man!" I am not saying we'd have been top 10... why are you jumping from 32nd to top 10? I'd be happy with 15th right now. We'll just disagree on that one.

#2: He TWICE fumbled with an excuse. It put a huge dent into the whole "new regime, new attitude... out with dysfunction, in with professionalism." For a guy who expects his players to be stand up, stand behind your work guys... then shouldn't he? If he was disappointed in McNabb's play, just say so... why go with 2-minute offense and cardiac endurance craziness?

#3: Explained in my other post.. Do I think he'd be better than Armstrong... especially when Armstrong is mostly used for deep passes... yes. Just my opinion.

#4: I think if they know he doesn't fit what they want to do and they want to go in a different direction, then you play him... hope he plays well enough over the last 3 games that between the Vikings, Cardinals, Bengals, Panthers, Broncos, Titans, etc there could have been SOME competition to drum up trade value is all I am saying. Evaluate Grossman & Beck? Do you honestly think either will be our starting QB in 2012?
