Could it be because the regular season is about to begin, or because it's Dallas week that Shanahan has taken time out to caution the local media in the art of discretion?

After reading Dan Steinberg's DC sports blog last night, Shanahan appears less than thrilled at the fact the local media takes the liberty to put in print, elements of team practices which he would rather not see revealed. His hints were about the reporting on personell groupings, team strategy and strategic planning.

I gather from this, Shanahan is not going to be as receptive to giving lengthly answers to media questions in a way simular to his predecessor, or in a way in which the locals have become accustomed.
