Blache's D was a "bend don't break" D that kept us in games but couldn't make stops in the 4th qtr or win games for us.

I'm also pretty sure MS/KS didn't make any of the piss-poor throws or decisions McNabb made last year. And no one wanted McNabb to succeed more than MS since he green-lighted the trade. McNabb's failure is on him and the fact that he doesn't have the physical tools he had 3-4 years ago. If he was still a franchise level QB that Philly felt could take them back deep into the playoffs they would've never let him go.

We need to develop our own great players, not look to poach them in FA or trades, as that's a very costly proposition that the current front office appears to be avoiding (outside of the McNabb trade).

McNabb's skill level is debatable. We'll see how he does in Minn...personally I think he's gonna be close to his top years in Philly.

There's no comparison to the defense pre and post Shanny. One was very stout and a player or two away from elite, the other is flat out bad.

I don't think Barry Cofield is gonna rescue our defens lmao. I took a poll around the office and nobody could say where Cofield's played or what he's done. We might as well celebrate that Turd Ferguson is on the roster lol.

Shanny has always struggled to identify and develop defensive talent. Wade Phillips did it for him during the best years in Denver. Honestly I don't expect much on that side of the ball. I do think/hope our offense will improve and become exciting to watch!!!
