A good solid B.

He has taken a group of misled over payed molly coddled whiners and turned it in the proper direction. Cooley said it best with " Mom and Dad are home" .

Haynesworth is playing better than he has since he arrived. Portis and Torain both are running better than I ever expected, and CP is back with fresh legs. As far as the O line there is only one good O line player on our team and he's a rookie. That will be corrected over time. Anyone who thinks we can find a Jacoby/Bostic/ Grimm group again better check into rehab. It won't happen again. Rabach has got to go, Heyer always stinks. Old guys need to hang up the cleats and make way for some younguns.

Andy Reid is a great coach. Sending DMac to us was a skillful move. It's no ones fault we took the bait but ours. MS needed a leader McNabb's a leader. But his overall QB skills are gone. Sure he can hit the big play once in awhile, but he will throw it into the ground on an open receiver in the flat on the very next play. You think Andy Reid would have sent us a QB that could beat him for the next 3 years? We won that game against Philly by defense. Once Vick was gone we had a good shot and took it. Mc Nabb is beat up. He is also a warrior and will keep going until he cannot go anymore. I honestly think that MS did this (benching) to stoke him up so he will beat Philly again. It worked with Elway when he was benched and they put in Kubiak. Next game Elway was his old self. I feel that with the buy week and the firestorm around the benching, the Skins will come out and perform way better than anticipated. I don't want to predict a victory because every time I do they lose. But I will be up for the game and any self respecting Redskin fan will be right with me. Grossman will be okay if he gets enough work but he is not the answer for the long term.

All I need remember is the last 20 years, to have a coach who is in charge and not afraid to make the tough unpleasant calls is what I have been hollering for since Gibbs left the first time.

Norv, Robiskie, Spurrier, Shottenheimer,Gibbs 2.0, and finally Zorn......... I'll take Shanahan over all of that group. It still gonna take some time to purge the Cerratto virus but it will get better.
Next year draft QB first, O-line second and a good receiver or two we are back to glory days.
