Changes needed during/after bye week

[LavaRnChad]

I would love to see Banks get more time on offense. He's one of those Hester types that needs to get the rock in his hands. He would scare the hell out of defenses. Tell me what you all think about this.

[aceinthehouse]

1)Fix O-line
2)Have Mcnabb work the 2-minute offense (lol)
3)Promote Terrence Austin to Active roster and get this offense rolling! Release Roydell Williams please...Go with Moss,Armstrong,Galloway,Banks and Austin
4)Sign Shawn Merriman when he is released as insurance (evaluate Orakpo's injury)
5)Cut Beck and Sign Jeff Garcia (Oh come on guys..why not? lol)

[aceinthehouse]

kidding about garcia...btw

[aceinthehouse]

Oh..i forgot one...

Work on the 2-point conversion please...

[Glen Williams]

Galloway has nothing left. He makes no effort for the ball
TAKE HIM OUT

I agree with you.
I think we should use him for screen passes and deep bombs.

I expect that this week will be an intense period at the Shanahan households.

Bummed by the loss, but still very optimistic, going forward.

Detroit has a chance to be scary good in a couple years. They are loaded with young talent that just needs to learn HOW to win.

Davis should work on his hands too

Cooley has been just as bad if not worse. He has at least one big drop a week.

I think they showed us yesterday

[Longtimefan]

1 - There may not be a fix for the o-line. We can mix & match but that will come through players that have already proven they have a hard time getting the job done.

2 - Shanahan has had nothing but praise for Galloway [warranted or not] Would like to see if Austin could make a difference in the passing game as difficult as that may be. Some think if Randy Moss is released, he could be an option.

3 - Penalties definitley need to be negated at all cost. They cost us two touchdown in yesterdays game and more than 100 yds. in returns. Has been a problem all season.

4 - Good luck with the changing where McNabb's footwork is concerned. It's going to be difficult for a player that's been successful with his mechanics for as long as he has.

5 - If Torain can't return in two weeks there aren't an abundance of options. There's Williams, Davis and the hope that Portis will be able to return.

Unfortunately, there's not a great deal of fixing that can be done. The teams personell is what it is and what we're going to have to deal with for the next eight games. The one sure thing we can fix is reducing the penalties, that's a correctable issue.

o run the ball more

o Kyle(McNabb) and the offense staff ,imo, have to step up and help this offense become more effective/effecient through his playcalling/gameplanning.

o More quick hitting 3 step drop throws to take the pressure off the OL and get Mc5 in rhythm.

o the playcalling needs to take some of the pressure off the OL.


Defense:

o play more man coverage then zone coverage

I want to see Lichtenjagr at center and Dock back at LG. If for nothing else it would prove that our coaches aren't dillusional.

Rabach is horrific.

I think this is a real possibility for monday night. See GTripp's game review- I asked him about Dock v. KL at LG. I thought his answer made sense of Shanny's logic; Dock is the stronger, more capable blocker one on one, but KL has versatility & athleticism to get out on screens, pulls, etc. However, they aren't running many of those plays for a variety of reasons, so we're seeing KL get dominated by some DTs.

I think the Shanahans may have to face this change the same way Haslett had to face the fact that he didn't have the personel to run 3-4 most of the time. Haslett's D has had 4 linemen for most of the plays in at least the last 3 games.

I don't know how quickly KL could be moved to C, but obviously Dock could be moved back to LG.

I agree their future looks much brighter then ours, sadly.
