I hate when people default to this notion. "They're the coach, they know more than you."

It may be true in 99.9% of decisions and cases, but to say that coaches can't completely gaff a call, or make an incorrect decision because of their past or pedigree, and their decisions are always above question because they know the game and the big picture, is ridiculous. That is what these forums are for. If you dont want to comment on what you think has been done right or wrong in your eyes, then just be content with reading the newspapers every monday morning. Why are people like that even on a forum, if all they do is blindly follow along with whatever decisions said coach makes? They are humans too, and are not above criticism. Definitely not Mike Shanahan. And with him bringing his baby boy in to run the offense, he has to know that if it is being run inadequately, its going to be a lightning rod for critique and discussion, among the press as well as the fans.

Hopefully he can apply a bandaid (John Beck) to the situation and forego the impending criticism headed his way if the offense continues to lose games for this franchise. If we run the ball over 40% of the snaps on Sunday, believe that Mike reigned Kyle in a bit and MADE him run the ball to set up the bootlegs and playactions for Beck. With our offensive line issues, Id be very surprised if we dont lean heavily on the run and move the pocket around a bit. Becks mobility beings a new dimension to this offense, and while not on the level of a Randall Cunningham or Michael Vick, it could be just what the doctor ordered for this squad.

Another thing....... Jim Haslett is slowly working his way back to another head coaching job somewhere in the near future if he continues on like he has.
