Analyzing Mike Shanahan at the Midway Point

[mlmdub130]

damn it, i thought i coined it! screw it delete your post i'm rollin with it as my own

edit: guess you were talkin about the report, shanahanigans is all mine, gotta get a hold of my sign guy asap!!

[VTSkins]

I gave him a F. Great coaches devise schemes to his players strengths. Shanny has not done that and I don't see him ever doing that. I'm not just talking about the defense but the offense as well. In my humble opinion the Redskins should not be running a west coast offense. Its like water and oil, it just don't mix. Redskins should go back to the air coryell offense. I'm willing to give the 3-4 defense a couple of years but the offense has got to change....

I'm definitely not thrilled with a lot of what Shanny has done, but a big chunk of our problems speak to just how inept Cerrato was as a personnel man. He set us back years.

Jim Haslett needs to be fired immediately, however. And the decision to bring him in falls squarely on Shanny.

The 3-4 falls on Shanny

[VTSkins]

I agree, Haslett must go and we must go back to the 4-3

We've beaten the Packers, Bears, and Eagles. And the Browns are paying Delhomme over $7 million. I like the direction the Browns are headed, but let's not act like Holmgren is working major miracles

He has them heading in the right direction for sure, though. IMO he gets a higher grade personnel-wise than Shanny at this point. Hillis alone was a total robbery. That guy is an effing monster.

That trade was a snatch and grab , but don't forget shanny was the one who drafted hillis.

How good was that Arkansas backfield? Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Peyton Hillis? I mean jeez.

Those wins were acquired when the opponent was in a nerfed state, and only barely.

For next season the Redskins need to keep Trent Williams and bring up Selvish Capers/Erik Cook from the practice squad and release every other player on their O-Line. Then use their 1st and 2nd round picks on O-Lineman to get two more talented players. After the draft sign a bunch of young free agents and see if they can find any players to build some YOUNG depth. Till we get a solid O-Line our offense will continue to stink. We have to be able to run the ball to set up playaction and the longball.

Yep.

AH is so done here, in case there was any doubt.

Yeah, to bad we couldn't have made him look better so we could get out of him via trade or picks. Oh well.

This should solve all of our problems. Clearly AH is the reason why offensive line sucks, our defense can not stop the run and why we are playing like a terrible team. Proof is in today's game where AH did not play.
Thanks Shanahan...you win.
