Did he say that? That just sounds like a coach trying to buy himself more time to me

Everything Mike Shanahan has said here, no matter what it is, seems to be the wrong frikkin thing. The Haynesworth situation (not that the wrong move was made, just that the way it was handled left A TON to be desired), the mcnabb conditioning crap, the way he manages clock during the game (even worse than gibbs, never thought Id ever say that, the way he is handling adversity this year.........this guy is an egomaniac, it seems the players know it, and aren't too impressed with the product and squad that he himself has created.

Its a shame its going to take 2 years away from RG3 with this regime for everyone to understand Mike Shanahan is an old has been coach who hasn't won squat in 14 years after Elway. It sucks to be a Redskin fan right now, and it sucks even more knowing you might have one of the most talented kids ever to play QB wasting time with an old has been coach and his son.

The only real optimism the skins and their fans have is knowing that RG3 is here, and will always be here. I'm just looking forward to the day in which he can start digging the franchise out of this mess. Right now, as it seems, the hole is getting deeper. Watch the eagles come out and spank us like red headed step children. I have a bad feeling we might not even get to 6 wins this year.

For a team to not be able to match the win total they had the year prior with John Beck and Rex Grossman, having one of the top talents at QB on your team, that tells me this team is NOT moving forward, and RG3's and ALmo's efforts are just enough to keep this team from really dropping off the cliff.

Here's what I'm referring to

What we've done over time is develop to where we're only doing things Robert is comfortable with," Shanahan said. "He's a rookie. You have to do that. So we put the offense in over the first two weeks of OTAs, and the first two weeks of camp, and we saw what he was comfortable with. Over a time frame of about three years, we'll put everything in, and he'll really be able to branch out. But initially, we're gonna do what he does well."

That's crazy talk. While I think you shouldn't necessarily overwhelm them, he should be going at RGIII's pace. If he's absorbing it, then give him more. No sense of putting on cuffs if it's not needed.

Wade Phillips doesn't really run a three four. He runs something much closer to a 4-3 where the linebackers (instead of the DEs) have rush/contain responsibility.

I heard someone on ESPN say that Wade runs a 3-4 which is closer to the 5-2 defense because its a surprise when the ends (OLBs in this case) aren't rushing the QB.

They aren't a straight 3-4 in Dallas lol. They're hybrid, and the Cowboys even laughed about re-signing him because they said he wasn't worth the money we gave him....looks like they were right.

Have you lost your mind? Dude had 41 tackles and 6 sacks last year.

Bowen is one of our more solid starters, really not sure why he's being called out.

Easily our best D-Line this year. Not close. Sux the effect a poor secondary has on the entire defense.

While talking about DLine, dont be surprised if we bring in another 3-4 D coordinator and he decides to go with a more traditional Nose Tackle tackle and replaces Coefield. Coefield hasnt been bad, just saying

He's been our best front 7 player. If anything call out kerrigan he's been invisible

Had heard this around this same point of the season last year but, the end is near:

@JayGlazer on @FOXSports just reported that Dan Snyder was not happy with Mike Shanahan's comments last Sunday. FWIW. #Redskins

These next 7 games will be very interesting

No body was happy with them. Probably not even Mike himself

Yeah, but the fact the very next day he blamed the media for twisting what he said was just as pathetic. Got on Mike Wise's case about it. Instead of just saying.........Hey, I ****ed up and I apologize to my team".....he then makes the situation worse.

Being a arrogant egomanic only works when you are winning.
