Nothing, it was just a suggestion not a command. Just don't come up here next year all rosey when things get turned around and hop on the bandwagon

Got to love and internet tough guy.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

Hey look we all know that this team is very limited with the few talented players we do have on the roster. I like some of our vets ( Moss, Cooley,London, Rogers, and a few others as backups) but we do need to get younger and faster on the D-line. Also we could use a upgrade at the OLB spot for Lorenzo he is a little stiff.

I have never been on the bandwagon but Shanahan will basically have to make a serious playoff run before I give him any credit. Like i said before, Mike Shanahan's legacy in Washington will most likely be defined by his ego.

Just wondering if you been around the Redskin Nation long enough to know anything about this franchise. Then you should know good coaching when you see it compared to Zorn and Spurrier days.

Just a piece of advice that has worked pretty well for me, instead of feeding the troll just put him on your ignore list. Its worked pretty well for me, especially considering the only time I see him on the board is after the Skins lose.

Its funny you read something on the internet or hear it from a sport talk radio station and you think you know Shanny personally or something. Dont believe everything you read or hear from the media bro.

Seeing that I am on my PS3 there is no keyboard here. That shows how smart (or stupid you pick) you are.

He may be able to run a practice better than Zorn. This year was not good coaching. Just because he was better than Zorn and Spurrier doesn't mean it is good coaching. Those two guys never should have been head coaches period.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

Alright enough of the bitching. There are definitely things to look forward to next season:

- Young players like Banks/Armstrong/Torain/K.Williams/A. Bryant, etc.
- A second straight season of the same offense/defense
- Having a competent GM in charge of contracts
- Getting a healthy Landry back

Amid these positive things, there are some big question marks
- QB
- Interior offensive line
- Defensive line
- Kicker/Punter/Long Snapper
- Free Safety

Finally, I would really like to see an end to unnecessary drama (Shanny vs. AH; Shanny vs. McNabb).

"You pick"? Don't worry, just like Sam Huff, I know what you meant to say.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

So does anybody miss Fat Al with Anthony Bryant looking better than him and Kemo in his limited action this year?

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

It's no surprise that I've gotten ultra-cynical over the past couple of years considering the insane ways that the Redskins have found to lose and/or break my heart.

All that being said, we've gotten quite a few good things out of this year. Sure, the McNabb and AH situations were fiascoes, but we're a team in transition and everyone makes mistakes. Anthony Bryant ABSOLUTELY stepped up today, and that might take a position of need off the list. Anthony Armstrong and Brandon Banks are two players this team can build on amongst other role players that stepped up.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

Their wont be any more drama about Haynworthless he is out bro. As far as McNabb we will trade him for some food stamps to someone.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

[quote=mooby;774413]So does anybody miss Fat Al with Anthony Bryant looking better than him and Kemo in his limited action this year?[/quote]

I don't miss AH because he was never our answer to being a true NT for the 3-4.

I didn't know there was an ignore list, thanks

[quote=Ruhskins;774417]I don't miss AH because he was never our answer to being a true NT for the 3-4.[/quote]

He was not the answer last season in Greg Blaches 4-3 defense remember he was always lying on the ground hurt or tired.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

[quote=skins89moss;774420]He was not the answer last season in Greg Blaches 4-3 defense remember he was always lying on the ground hurt or tired.[/quote]

And still MS tried to play him as a 3-4 NT. It is stuff like this that I don't want to see next season.

Nice to see some of the yonger guys playing. But to be honest, when you stack them up against the talent in our division they simply don't match up. Love the return game w/ Banks, he's a keeper for teams. Torain is good. Armstrong is a nice 3rd wr but he isn't as good as Philly's wr's, or anyone on Dallas or the Giants wr's. This team is full of complementary type players.

I have to agree here. I really didn't see us out coach anyone.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

I actually like Armstrong better than Maclin considering that Armstrong doesn't have a DeSean Jackson drawing coverage away from him.

Good point. But I would like to see some of these players against those tough opponents with now a year under their belt and with more opportunities. I do think there will be a better FA pool to improve in some areas, and hopefully we can get some talent in the draft as well.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

The sad thing is, I can point to one or two key plays EACH game that resulted in a win or a loss. We didn't blow anyone out (been a while since we've done that) and we didn't get dominated with the exception of the Giants and Eagles games this year.

If you recall MS asked Hanyesworthless if you take the check then you are on board with the 3-4 defense, well he took the check. He was a no show for OTA"S and we changed to a 3-4 defense why not show up to get a jump on learning it. I guess he did not really want to play in the 3-4 he just wanted the check.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

Please please please, don't hire this man next year.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

I like our young WR corps- Austin, Armstrong and Banks. I think Armstrong and Austin will get better next year. At the moment, I compare Armstrong to a poor man's Gary Clark with lots of future potential. Austin could be our Ricky Sanders, we just need a Monk.

Agreed, but as you said before...AH had a history of this behavior.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

To all the real Redskins fans peace and God Bless in 2011 I will be watching the few bowl games that remain and keep a eye on the mock drafts. Im out time to do something more productive then sit here and go back and forth with some unhappy fans.HTTR

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

[quote=Ruhskins;774438]Agreed, but as you said before...AH had a history of this behavior.[/quote]

I didnt say he had a history of this behavior. I said he complained about the 4-3 defense last season and was lying on the ground hurt during games.

Re: Giants v. Redskins Gameday Thread
 

Moss, Armstrong, Austin, Kelly, Banks, Cooley, Davis is a solid group of pass catchers. We have much bigger needs than those positions. Think we all agree that we need to improve the interior of our o-line and hope that Brown can get healty during the offseason to play RT. On defense we need an outside linebacker opposite of Orakpo, a FS or CB depending on where Barnes starts next season and depth for the D-line. (he should). Bryant and Carriker should stay.

Well he had a history of not being a model player and not trying. It would have been better to just get rid of him. But that's a moot point since he won't be here next year.
