easy guys, clearly shanahan is taking the high route and entering us in the AJ Green sweepstakes for the draft.

this team is done boyz!
apparently this team does not believes in watching film like the rams did this week.
hats off to spags who exploited our weakness and showed the world that DHall is a joke! Ravens trash WR Clayton beat you like him owed him money!
Bruce Allen better see this and fix this in the near future!
forecast for the skins is 4-12 seasons for the next 5 or 6 years so brace yourselves !
in other news god hates the redskins!

I don't like how the ship is being captained. Mutiny! Off with someone's head.

I wish I was Clinton Portis so I could go to Mike Shanahan and ask him for a trade. I'd smile just to piss him off too.

Only sounds half bad to me.

I guess bleeding to death wouldn't be THAT bad.

Thread mistitled.

It should be, "Let's put Shanahan on a spit...and roast him over a fire"

Anyway lets talk about Shanahan, but first a quick word.

Hockey is the coolest game on Earth

Alright now back to Shanahan.

In his first year in Denver Shanahan finished with an 8-8 record

In his second year in Denver Shanahan finished with a 13-3 record.

That is all.

The greater majority has agreed the Redskins have problems on both sides of the ball. That same majority bought into the Allen-Shanahan plan for rebuilding this team into a competitive contender for the future. If we really believe what we've committed too, faith in that belief is going to be tested.

Reasonable suggestion relevant to how the team can/should/would be made better seem a more positive way of thinking than "we suck". The teams deficiencies have been well documented and it's going to take a while before they all can be corrected. We have a lot of work to do, the coming months will gradually begin to shed light on whether or not the faith we all confessed to have in this new administration is warranted.

The current state of this team coupled with the work that needs to be done, presents a real challenge for the Allen - Shanahan group, how they meet that challenge will go a long way towards determining their final legacy here in Washington.

wow longtime, thats was an eloquent statement. nice job, i agree, most of us here supported the front office change and knew it was going to take some time and tribulation.

We knew the passing attack should show immediate improvements with mcnabb and the shanahans on board. it has.

We knew the switch to the 34 would take atleast a half season to learn and another full offseason of adding the right pieces.

We knew the running game with an o line with a rookie LT and RT coming off season ending surgery and 3 aged running backs was going to struggle some. Well, i think we thought the running game would produce more than it has.

Like longtime said, our current deficiencies are issues we knew coming into this season. We still have a year of additions and corrections to go through.

The levels of Shanahan runners.

Terrell Davis level - Insane amount of yards and so much production you need to have migraines to give your opponents a fighting chance.

Clinton Portis Level - Not as amazing as Terrell Davis but still an automatic pro bowler with 1,500+ numbers.

Mike Anderson Level - You rush for a 1,000 yards, only to fall back into a platoon before emerging one more time as a 1,000 yard rusher.

Rueben Droughns - You rush for a 1,000 yards in the Shanahan system but then opt to become a free agent where you do it again before fizzling oout.

Orlandis Gary Level - You're a one year wonder

Selvin Young Level - You're a productive member of a platoon but not a 1,000 yard rusher yourself.

Peyton Hillis Level - You show potential to be the next great Shanahan 1,000 yard rusher but you have an emerging QB and your coach is about to get fired.

Anthony Aldridge Level - Eh you had potential but you couldn't even make the team

Maurice Clarret Level - You had all the talent in the world but emerged as a hack at the pro level

So now where is Ryan Torrain?

[MTK]

Good question on Torain. Shanahan was very high on him in Denver so we'll see.
