I think most would argue that we HAVE seen a change with shanahan. The whole AH situation, and especially the players' comments on it show that he has really set about changing the lackadaisical culture of the zorn era. Maybe that hasn't translated into wins just yet, but how could it with the talent he has? I don't think you can make a distinction between "patching something together" and "rebuilding." What shanahan is doing now is establishing a no-jokes, professional attitude in the locker room and evaluating his talent for next year. I suppose you could call that rebuilding, but this team didn't need to be completely blown up. The redskins got rid of a lot of older players that really needed to go, and after this season I think we'll see them get rid of more, AH being one of them.


Just understand that it takes more than one year for a disaster of a team to become good, and be happy with slight improvement..

i don't think you understood where i was coming from. i understand it takes time to see some results, but my point is that no one in the redskins organization seems to know how they are going to make the changes. i think there have been some moderate improvements but i don't think they really know what direction the team is headed in and that part scares the s outta me. shanahan has the rings so he gets some time and it will obviously take time, it would just be nice to know there was a plan of action they were trying to follow.
