That said I wish we would return to the 4-3 and make the most out of our roster. Kerrigan would be a phenom LDE. Rak at RDE obviously. And we already have better DT types than any real NTs. And our LB corp wouldn't really change. Riley, Fletch and Mac should all start.
This coaching staff is trying to fit a round peg into a squaure hole on both sides of the ball.

The way you earn "genius credentials" in the NFL is to put "your stamp" on a team or on a defense or on some aspect of the game.
[BTW: that was Joe Bugel's ticket to NFL employment for about 20 years even though he never had an OL that was nearly as good as the one he had here with 3 HoF caliber players lining up at the same time.]
Around the NFL, the quiet nickname for Mike Shanahan is "My Way Mike". When he decides he is going to do something in a certain way, then players or coaches or scouts in the organization have two choices:
1. Do it his way
2. Do it your way somewhere else.
I think you are seeing a bit of that showing itself in the Redskins organization at the moment...
