I think Shanahan just likes to overload at a position of need for competition or to set a tone or precedence or whatever. For fans it can suck because its hard to fall in love with a guy like Banks or Armstrong and then see him knocked down the depth chart or cut but its probably whats best for the team.

well part of the reason austin didn't get on the field cause shanahan kept trotting out 50 year old joey galloway and roydell williams. that made 0 sense to me. and in a way he's doing it again with career underachiever stallworth and jouneymen gafney.
i think shanahan brings in these old guys cause he doesn't realize this is a rebuilding job. again, we're not going anywhere this year. what's the quickest way to get better? free agency? no, we tried that. draft and play young guys, let them play together? get some chemistry? correct, see pittsburgh.
