You can't tell me Lichtenstiger is better than Dockery.
Re-signing Rabach, bringing in Brown, Hicks, and Lichtenstiger, and repeatedly keeping Dockery inactive are all Shanny's decisions. I give him an A on drafting Williams, and a D- for the rest of the O-line mess. Not that he much to work with when he took over as HC, but this unit is downright awful.
I agree with article in that the Haynesworth drama was dragged out way too long, and IMO this McNabb situation was a total coaching meltdown, especially Shanny's attempts to explain his decision. Fail fail fail.
Overall he's got us going in the right direction, but he's had more than a few head-scratchers thus far.
I'll give him a C. The jury is still out, though.

How is he going in the right direction? He just disenfranchised his star QB, who will split come the end of the season. Grossman sucks, and drafting a QB without a new o line in place would just be as bad of a waste as it was getting McNabb. The guy in essence just shot himself in the foot.
