Oh man the media is doing a great job again.

Like SS said , I'm surprised people are just now thinking this stuff goes on

Zero, and the defense has blow-it-up talent.

Ryan Kerrigan.

Well it's obvious Shanahan wants out. He probably leaked that story yesterday. Not sure I blame him. Working for Snyder is like going on a reality TV show. In the end, it still comes down to players and we don't have any.

Yeah Rak is a avg player at best, Kerrigan is the same. Dbs r garbage probably the worst in the league. Hall has had a good yr but that's it and the fact that Amerson.isn't starting is beyond me

Skins in good positions with several personel decision in the offseason too. Division is weak.

Our record is lousy, but we were a playoff team last year. If you compare this situation to when Zorn was on the way out, we are in a lot better shape.

Let's hope your right. Its getting old watching this organization be the laughing stock of the nfl..

Do you know this for sure, or are you just assuming he wasn't drawing up plays for Kyle?

I am assuming. And even if he did who cares? Do we actually think any coach would quietly accept such "advice"? No, especially not when MS is involved.

I agree with Chico. If we can give Bruce Allen a chance next year with a full salary cap, he'll fix a lot of holes on this team. We have a very good, young core and can can be good for years to come once we get the supporting cast. It was impossible to build a competitive team with that cap penalty.

Special teams especially suffered. We couldn't afford to keep Lorenzo Alexander and that was a huge hit to that unit. We couldn't afford a solid #2 WR. We had to just live with the scrubs on the offensive line and at safety. Depth was another thing lost. Once we had a few injuries to guys like Carricker, Bowen, Thomas, there was simply no one behind them and our decent preseason depth chart was obliterated.

Disaster year but believe it or not, this team is in the right direction. It may not be an easy job, but we have some bright spots for the future.

Hopefully we'll switch back to a 4-3, using Kerrigan and Orakpo in their natural DE positions to do what they do best. We'll get a good complementary WR for Garcon. Griffin, Morris and Reed will continue to succeed.

An offensive line is one thing we've been missing since our great squad of Jon Jansen, Chris Samuels, Randy Thomas, Derrick Dockery and Ray Brown. Vinny seemed to completely disregard the need for it, thinking weapons alone can make a good offense. We just couldn't afford upgrades the past couple years. I fully expect an overhaul outside of Trent coming.

I really hope the team can make good personnel decisions going forward. We have some good players in key positions (QB, RB, LT, WR1, and OLBs), but we're going to need some decent/solid players in the offensive line, among in the Linebackers, and in the Secondary

Upgrading the offensive line and the secondary would help tremendously! But I have to say, after this year, if the special teams are not completely overhauled then the effort this franchise puts into upgrading the defense will be all for naught. You just simply can't win ball games when the special teams gives up over 300 yards and two touchdowns.

Sends the wrong message to the team that one player is above all. Also, if Bob was such a great leader, don't you think he would avoid situations that would alienate him from his teammates?
