Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
To be clear, Vinny passed up Williams. Not Dan. Dan put complete control in the hands of Cerrato. Cerrato felt threatened by a big personality like Williams-who, granted, probably shouldn't have asked to be named GM/EVP too-and sent him on his way.

2005 was when Rogers dropped that pick 6, which would have put us up 10-0 early. 2007 we were down 13-0, scored real quick twice in the 4th quarter to go up 14-13, then they screwed up that kickoff; and Sean (FN!) Suisham missed a extra point length field goal which I'm still angry about to this day; lost all momentum and we some how lost by 21, 35-14 in a game that was way closer than that score would indicate. 2012 was when we set this franchise back 3 years.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
He dropped another pick-six in 2008, early in the Pittsburgh game that we entered with a 6-2 record. Not that his drop was the reason that we finished 8-8, but it was the first of many missed opportunities the 2nd half of that season.

Depends on what type of 3-4 you want. Not everyone has a monster in the middle.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
Cofied doesn't move both on run plays or pass plays.
He might not crash the pocket but few nose tackles do, if any. The skins need some DE's and depth at OLB to get pressure. Still not sure why the Skins only really show Orakpo, Kerrigan and sometimes Rob Jackson. I thought going into the season there was some good depth there but maybe they haven't been showing enough in practice. |

Just to be fair He didnt "drop" them, there was a chemical reaction between the pigskin and the stone causing an involuntary release of the ball.

Re: Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era
