So let me get this straight..

If you're a bad team, all you have to do is hire a new coach, boldly state that "we're rebuilding," and then cut all your players, and you become good?


I think most would argue that we HAVE seen a change with shanahan. The whole AH situation, and especially the players' comments on it show that he has really set about changing the lackadaisical culture of the zorn era. Maybe that hasn't translated into wins just yet, but how could it with the talent he has? I don't think you can make a distinction between "patching something together" and "rebuilding." What shanahan is doing now is establishing a no-jokes, professional attitude in the locker room and evaluating his talent for next year. I suppose you could call that rebuilding, but this team didn't need to be completely blown up. The redskins got rid of a lot of older players that really needed to go, and after this season I think we'll see them get rid of more, AH being one of them.


Just understand that it takes more than one year for a disaster of a team to become good, and be happy with slight improvement..
