Haynesworth might learn a few things about Shanahan from Plummer

I think Shanahan and Allen are intent on completely changing the culture that was here the past two years, and I think they feel if they have to push it to an extreme to get the message across so be it.

JR......Redskins Insider is hell bent on keeping the Haynesworth saga alive and well. Of the ten post on his lead page, five of them are about Albert Haynesworth.

Do you know if Shannahan and Allen are working more as a team with Shanny having the final say or is it more of Shanny saying - Bruce, do this, this, and this. Just curious as to whether, so far (and admittedly it wayyyy early), Shanny seems to be putting a small part of his ego aside.

Definitely working together. It's not "Hey Bruce, go get McNabb" or "Hey Mike, I just got McNabb"

It's more "Hey Mike, made a few phone calls and I think we can get McNabb. Let's talk about it" (they discuss) "Sounds great Bruce, go for it"

Great Thanks! That is both good to hear and backs up the impression I got.

Next question: Is that different from how Shanahan operated in Denver? My impression as to his tenure there particularly over the last several years was that it was "All Mike, All the time".

Further questions pending.

Why is everyone so sure that Haynesworth would be a NT in a 3-4? It makes no sense to me?

Haynesworth might learn a few things about Shanahan from Plummer?

He might but I doubt it.

I'm not really sure. My understanding is that he has always insisted on final say but expects and relies on input from key people. But Allen's talent is really being that kind of exec, someone who can effectively lay out the scenarios and then hekp execute the plan
