I kind of like that. I've seen more objective articles over the last year on Redskins.com. I mean it's still bias for the most part in favor of the Skins but at least it's not the same old everything is fine type articles we've come to expect.

After listening to and seeing Bruce and Shanny in the pressers, NOBODY can convince me that we are not going to be RADICALLY changed for the better next season. These guys...........get it.
Discipline, team spirit, good tough camp, no locker room BS TO THE PRESS (CP)
.........music to my ears
Sweet....sweet day

Shanahan has been watching this team for a couple of years now, he has been dissecting every aspect of this team, if we as fans can see the the flaws of this team , and most fans dont know alot about football, imagine what shanahan has seen with his staff, his endorsement of JC just confirmed that me

It did seem like he already knew about this organization and everything about it. When they brought up CP and Soup, he said he wants things to stay in the locker room and the need for discipline.

Few things:

1) Skins need to go back to Carlisle for training camp where they belong.

2) I think Shanny will give Portis every opportunity to stay and get with the program or he'll be gone before you can say Redskin One. They're going to have a little heart-to-heart and I think the first time Portis mentions Mr. Snyder, I think that will que Shanny to dump him.

3) I think we're looking at 10-6 next year. Not because Shanny is so great, but because we won't drop those games we're suppose to win in the closing minutes.

I'm pretty encouraged.

whoa, hold your horses there...I am as optimistic as anyone but a 6 game swing, I don't see it 8-8, 9-7 at best

Again considering how we lost many of our games, I don't think a six/five game swing is unrealistic. That's just me. Many of the games we lost, we weren't outplayed. I think we all can agree on that.

you know what...I am thinking over all the losses right now, and I think you're right. New Orleans, Dallas, Philly...we clearly outplayed them and lost because of 1 or 2 plays and a s*** kicker. Plus the losses to Detroit and KC should just not have happened and that's 5 games right there..

I recant my statement, I don't think 10-6 is that far out of reach actually

im agree , we lost 6 or 7 games last year by 6 points or less, with a good swift kick in the ass i think 10 wins is not out of the question, shanahan also said rebuilding is not what we are gonna do, i would be happy if we beat Dallas twice myself

I think in many ways, that accomplishment alone would define a very successful season lol

Remember, Miami had a 10 game swing when Parcells came in, and I think our team has more raw potential then they did. Alot of our issues revolved around self inflicted wounds, and poor coaching. I don't see those being as likely today as they were the last game of the season.

Exactly, I'm not saying we're going to the Super Bowl or NFC Championship or anything, but a playoff berth is reasonable to expect in Shanahan's first season.

I know one thing, the NFC East is going to be hella tough next year.

[CRedskinsRule]

These guys are hitting all the right notes. Allen on 980 was clear that there will be discipline, that losing to NFC East teams is NOT the Redskins way, that they will give the current coaches a chance to make a pitch to stay, BUT no one is guaranteed, and Shanahan said that he wants his position coaches to know that position better than he does- I think that is a pretty tall order.

[CHAMP757]

The entire roster especially offense will be scrutinized by shanahan, either you can or you cant
