Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?

I'm interested to see which direction they go. Chase a bunch off FA's??? ... which I think is what they're going to do, or try and rebuild, ... which I think they should do.

Only time will tell, most thought the Redskins were rebuilding once a veteran coach and GM were hired. Unfortunately, it was more of the same. He kept the old players initially, Johnson, Parker, Galloway, and cut the young talent, Torrain, Banks, Austin.

Next year is going to be the same or worst, especially if we remain with the 4-3. I have no faith in Shannahan until he accrues more single season wins with the Redskins than Jim Zorn.

Didn't Torrain, Banks and Austin all end up on the 53 man roster at the end of the season. Normal, sane organizations allow older players time on the squad to give young players time to develop. That is,in part, why the practice squad system was put in place after all. VC/JZ had no plan, although I thought they did at the time, and left our team's roster pretty barren. The fact that we had to bring in old guys, just to field a competitive team while younger players could cut their teeth on the practice squad is a pretty harsh fact. Now after one year, where our team played close hard games (mostly), some will consider it the same as JZ? I didn't see this team quit like against NYG and Dallas at the end of 2009 season. I saw guys stepping up, and playing hard. No, the talent level isn't there across the board, but the process of evaluating and preparing talent was better than anything we have seen in the past few years.
