Huge FA Class in 2011 - But will anyone want to come here?

I believe Los will stay, but that's just my opinion

I had mentioned a few weeks back that Rogers and the Redskins were close to a new deal....well they're no closer now. In fact they may have slipped a bit further apart

ah man. I'd like some good news this winter, hoped (and still hope) to hear that he would re-sign. Can't blame him for wanting to test the market, but once players go that route it seems they are much less apt to come back to their old team.

I guess Rogers figured that since he finally held on to an INT that he's suddenly become an elite corner.

I think you're totally wrong. McNabb was traded here. He didn't come via free agency. Big difference.

We'll see what happens but I hope they don't gas up Redskins One and start chasing/ signing free agents. This team is not a couple players away. It's a couple of drafts and a few free agents away, which to me is about a 3 year process. I'm willing to wait as long as they start doing things the right way, which may mean losing more games next year.

Given how deep the FA pool is bound to be, it would dumb to not make some moves. You just have to make smart moves that are a good fit.

I think it all depends on which Shanahan your talking about and what your expectations were?

When Mike Shanahan was hired everyone "assumed" he would install his running game and this team would be back in the play offs. Instead I personally think Mike realized he does not have the personel to run his "running scheme" and relied more on his son and the passing attack he brings to the table. Remember our OL is not good and he most likely realized it figuring they wouldn't create too many holes for the RB's. He had to have known by preseasons end.

So if your evaluating MS based on how well the team performed then no MS didn't "seem" to have done a good job, but he was not dealt a good hand either. I actually commend MS for the way he handled the players. We needed a tough HC to come in and not take any crap from the owner, or the prima dona players with their lazy attitudes and expectation of playing time. As long as all the players are treated equally then no one can complain. Haynesworth didn't want to participate from the beginning, it showed, and when he did show he thought he could either bully his way into playing the position he wanted to play only or become a problem. He got his wish... he was the problem. I'm not saying he's not a good player just saying sometimes players need to do whats asked of them. Thats what a "team player" is all about.

McNabb's benching I also don't have a problem with. If you take a moment and think back although McNabb was "better" then Campbell, he seemed to have his issues also. The very issue's for which I was against picking up McNabb and voiced those issues when the team did pick him up. Heck in Sept I had a co worker to is an Eagles fan telling the same issues and was glad the Eagles had gotten rid of McNabb.

It's pretty bad when you a fan and want the team to dump your HOF/ starting QB for an unknown but that also should have been a red flag to our organization. McNabb was slow into and out of the huddle, took too much time looking over the defense giving the defense time to adjust to the formation, either over threw players or threw dirt balls, and lastly is not a 2 min drill type of QB. He's definitly awesome with 4-5 min. left on the clock for a come back but leave him with 2 min. or less and he's just too slow and methodical.

I have no problem with the benching so much the way it was handled. If I was a player I would have a hard time respecting somebody who would let me find out I was demoted in the newspaper instead of talking to me first.

I never really followed Shanahan's career, but this was a tumultuous first season and at times I felt that the ship was rudderless. I agree with you that he realized that we didn't have the personnel to run his scheme, but I have to question his vetting process in trading for McNabb and giving up two picks in this years draft. I hope that in the offseason he will be able to reevaluate the talent we have and somehow remove the defeatist mentality I feel the team has.
