The Knee Jerk (and just PO'd) Thread (MET)

[TheGreek1973]

Well, according to Shanny we are now in EVALUATION MODE.

Did he say when the evaluation will begin on the entire coaching staff including himself?

[zoony]

hr selected the coordinator. I kind of figured the coordinator picked the players.

Shanny built this roster and staff top to bottom. That's his job as team president. Period, end of discussion

But lets promote Raheem Morris and all will be fixed.

[MrJL]

No but he helps oversee a gimmick laden offense. We were doing less gimmicky stuff early in the season and Griffin thrived. The more gimmicky we get, the worse off we've been

depends on how you define gimmicky I suppose.

I prefer Griffin in the pistol to the regular shotgun, and in the NFL designed QB runs are kind of gimmicky and we've been doing fewer of those

[Mursilis]

Shanny doesn't coach the D

Doesn't coach much of anything, from the looks of it.

[U C S D SkinsFan]

by far the most lifeless, pathetic performance of the year and that is saying a lot. shanahan needs to GO!!! He is coaching like a desperate ****! Going for it 3 times on one drive? This team has no discipline, there is no explosiveness, no playmakers, no heart, NOTHING...The team has regressed big time AGAIN. 3rd year in a row we get worse as the weeks go on.

Pay sean payton 10 mil a year, find a hungry, creative, young defensive coordinator...i don't know if we can convince anyone to join this mess

[MrJL]

I am so sick of reading this drivel.
Did he select the players and coordinator? What did Gibbs do first thing in 2004?

hr selected the coordinator. I kind of figured the coordinator picked the players.

[ADF]

We're a horribly coached undisciplined team on all three phases. We have a HISTORICALLY bad defense. Every player on D is playing like crap (Kerrigan and Fletcher included). We have a special teams that's had two punts blocked and really does nothing for the team in the return department. Our kicker has been perfect but is bad at kickoffs. The offense commits penalties left and right. They are always called for holding and guys have no clue how to line up on the ball. The fundamentals with this team is just atrocious. Shanahan better clean this stuff up quick.

[Leonard Washington]

I predict a "players only meeting".

[Mr_ Skinshead]

Shanny doesn't coach the D

He is however responsible for the performance of the entire coaching staff.

[Mr_ Skinshead]

Hopefully we can come out of the bye with a clear head, well rested and ready to play football.

The Redskins will be destroyed by the Eagles.

[skinsmarydu]

It seemed to me like the officials were actively trying to prevent us from winning.

I had a really herky-jerky sat feed today, but it did seem they were off the charts with the whistles.

[Leonard Washington]

The Redskins will be destroyed by the Eagles.

This is a guaranteed win. Skins are always good enough to keep it interesting.

[The Robert Griffin Experience]

I agree. It's okay to implement some aspects of the college spread. But what the Panthers, Broncos and now the Redskins have been forced to learn is that it is an alternate look out of a base set, not a base set. I think Kyle is overcompensating for the eroding talent base of the team too, we're down to our 3rd and 4th string at SEVERAL positions (Paulsen is at best a #2, Robinson and Hankerson are not ready to be matched up against the best opposing DBs yet, and our current safeties were supposed to be reserves from the start), and we're not the Packers who have had 5 or so years of good drafting to pick up the slack when that happens.

The problem is that Shanahan has made several major mistakes that are biting us in the ass - keeping Has because they were study buddies in his off year, keeping Danny Smith, trading for McNabb and Brown which forced us to pass up J.J Watt among other things (and we're now seeing that Kerrigan is a 2nd tier OLB, not a first tier OLB - he just doesn't have the physical profile to be elite), and I guess you can add stuff like signing Josh Morgan instead of Eric Winston.

[Louskins9193]

This team lacks talent in a lot of areas for sure but there is no excuse for the mistakes that this team continues to make week in and week out. as far as I'm concerned its evident to me the Coaches are not doing a very good job all around, stupid penaltys, blown coverages, blown blocking assignments, dropped balls on and on. Unless this team can show some kind of urgency
after the Bi-week and win at least 5 out of 7 games its time for Shanny and his son to go bye bye along with the coaching staff before they ruin RGIII. With RG III here we will be able to attract a top tier Coach and get this train back on its rails heading in the right direction!! Hail!!!

[SkinsTerps26]

Again, blame Shanny for hiring Haslett over Crennel because they were study buddies in Shanahan's off-year, blame him for burning picks on McNabb and Brown (which forced us to overreact and pass up J.J Watt), but don't blame him for much beyond that.

Those are huge. Everyone knew JJ Watt was a beast and a perfect need position. Any fan of the NFL knows how much of a mediocre coach Haslett has been. I have zero experience being in an NFL war room and this was incredibly obvious to me and most fans.

I hate this organization.
