Injuries will create a youth movement opportunity

The problem is Snyder, Allen and Shanahan have a win now mentality. They need to realize that this team isn't good enough to make a Super Bowl run. Best case for this team is what? Make a wild card and go home in the first round? And that's if everything goes right. I've said this over and over but I'd get as many young guys on the field now as possible and clean house when the season is over.

I don't think Shanahan is the rebuilding type. While we got our wish of having good football people running this organization, we got one that wasn't going to blow everything up.

I think management is aware that they have to get rid of players like Rabach, Daniels, Galloway, Holliday, Hunter Smith, Carter, etc. Right now they are like "rental" players. I recall saying that the right side of the OL needed to be shuffled and some said with who? Well guess what? It worked for one game and hopefully will be good for the rest of the season. Rabach and Hicks needed benching, but in this case was due to attrition.

Well I wouldn't say that the only reason our offensive line looked good today was the switching up; they were run-blocking effectively before AND after the injuries. The eagles have a good defensive line - the giants are having a real tough time running the ball right now, and I would say that's the main reason the line looked so much better today.

And you guys really have to have more faith in the coaching staff. They see the young guys playing in practice every day. I doubt kyle shanahan is thrilled to have galloway involved so much in the passing attack, but if he's our best option to win then I think it's the right move to play him over, for example, terrance austin. Also, there's much less of a distinction than you might think between "win now" and "rebuilding."

Carter would be relevant right now if we were still in the 4-3.

But would we still be screaming for landry to be cut?

Pretty sad that it takes injuries to see how bad some players have been. I don't know crap next to these coaches but I knew that Rabach has been trash. Why do I have the feeling that if Casey can go, he will be back at the anchor.

Being a Redskins fan is so effing painful...

The guy is almost 40. He's not the future here. I want to see if Banks and Austin can play wr. Get them the experience now so they get a head start for next year. Playing old wr's on a average to below average team that needs youth makes no sense.

Some could say trading for McNabb to win now knowing that you are switching to a 3-4 defense that might take years to make a complete transition to makes no sense, others might say McNabb gives us the best chance to win games.

Same concept with Galloway, sure we'd like to see what we have for the future, especailly with this team being underwhelming this season, but Galloway apparantly gives us the best chance to help the team win now.

Is the last sentence a question? That is the only way I could take it seriously.

He's had 10 games and what has he done? Not much.

I'm definitely not debating the impact Galloway has had, the fact remains he has contributed barely anything at all this season. But he had his best game of the season by far today, helping the team multiple times on third downs and getting us out of tight spots, and it's not like the coaching staff needs another reason to keep him on the field. They've kept him on the field throughout this season even though he hasn't done jack, so why would they bench him now that he finally contributed to the team?

I want to see what Austin/Banks has as much as the next guy, but you can't deny that Galloway has kept his job despite his mediocre play this season, and that probably doesn't stand to change now that he finally had a decent game.
