Re: Analyzing Mike Shanahan at the Midway Point
I didn't expect Shanahan to take this team to the promised land, or even make it to the play-offs in one season. In his first year with Denver he was 8-8 and took 3 seasons to win the SB, even with one of the all-time greatest QBs, so I can't expect higher expectations than that. The Skins are clearly more improved than last season with our weakest spot being the porous OL and our shaky core of receivers. I don't expect a coach to be flawless, though he expects his teams to perform flawlessly. He has a knack for spotting talent (Armstrong, Torain) and will continue to scout where no one else scouts, and pick up players that will perform. Next season we will be ready for greatness.
