Analyzing Mike Shanahan at the Midway Point

VTSkins · 12-05-2010, 06:51 PM

I gave him a F. Great coaches devise schemes to his players strengths. Shanny has not done that and I don't see him ever doing that. I'm not just talking about the defense but the offense as well. In my humble opinion the Redskins should not be running a west coast offense. Its like water and oil, it just don't mix. Redskins should go back to the air coryell offense. I'm willing to give the 3-4 defense a couple of years but the offense has got to change....

I'm definitely not thrilled with a lot of what Shanny has done, but a big chunk of our problems speak to just how inept Cerrato was as a personnel man. He set us back years.

Jim Haslett needs to be fired immediately, however. And the decision to bring him in falls squarely on Shanny.

The 3-4 falls on Shanny

The Redskins on the other hand are old, injured, and largely talentless. Not really a good combo.

you just said the browns are better than the redskins

, and the said thing is you are right

We've beaten the Packers, Bears, and Eagles. And the Browns are paying Delhomme over $7 million. I like the direction the Browns are headed, but let's not act like Holmgren is working major miracles

He has them heading in the right direction for sure, though. IMO he gets a higher grade personnel-wise than Shanny at this point. Hillis alone was a total robbery. That guy is an effing monster.

Those wins were acquired when the opponent was in a nerfed state, and only barely.

VTSkins · 12-05-2010, 07:48 PM

I agree, Haslett must go and we must go back to the 4-3

For next season the Redskins need to keep Trent Williams and bring up Selvish Capers/Erik Cook from the practice squad and release every other player on their O-Line. Then use their 1st and 2nd round picks on O-Lineman to get two more talented players. After the draft sign a bunch of young free agents and see if they can find any players to build some YOUNG depth. Till we get a solid O-Line our offense will continue to stink. We have to be able to run the ball to set up playaction and the longball.

Albert Haynesworth said he was healthy enough to play in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the New York Giants and was surprised that Coach Mike Shanahan instead opted to deactivate the veteran defensive lineman

"I thought it was a do or die situation and that we needed to do everything to win," Haynesworth said.

Shanahan said Haynesworth's performance -- or lack thereof -- in practice last week contributed to his decision to sit the two-time All-Pro.

"Well, he didn't practice on Friday; he was sick," Shanahan said. "On Thursday, he didn't have one of his better practices and we weren't sure what the reason was. I'm guessing it's because he was sick -- because he didn't practice on Friday. Without practicing Friday and Thursday not having one of his better practices, we kept him inactive."

A team source said that last week Haynesworth missed at least one meeting and was late to at least one more. Haynesworth confirmed that he was late on Friday because he he was ill.

"I was sick, so I did show up a minute late," Haynesworth said. "I don't think that's a reason to sit out."

He was listed as questionable on the final injury report of the week due to an illness.

Haynesworth said he wasn't given any further explanation about being deactivated Sunday. Asked if he was upset by Shanahan's decision, he said: "It's whatever. If they chose to sit me, they chose to sit me. This is their organization. I'm just a piece."

Go on CSNWASHINGTON.COM and go to mulimedia and click on Brian Mitchell on Haynesworth and you can that Haselett pulled him aside right before the game. Now that some ho shit.

AH is so done here, in case there was any doubt.

DIEHARD1980 · 12-05-2010, 08:13 PM

Man i wish Bill Cowher would have come here, we need a coach that can put fire under the players a$$es, not just look confused on the sidelines as shanahan does over and over.

Yeah, to bad we couldn't have made him look better so we could get out of him via trade or picks. Oh well.

That trade was a snatch and grab , but don't forget shanny was the one who drafted hillis.
