Rifts between Shanahan and Snyder?

It has nothing to do with media. I'm cool with discipline. But I'm not cool with someone who thinks running a 3-4 is better for the team just cause he thinks so.

Well that doesn't make any sense at all. I would not want a coach that doesn't think his scheme is better for the team.

The rift between Mike and Mr. Snyder has a name. Bruce Allen. And Dan Snyder chose to create that 'rift' because we were demanding it.

Never forget he's a marketing mogul. And one of the tenants in marketing, is understand your consumer.

He maintains the fact he's maturing as an owner, the years between then and now are a testament.

He's the coach.
Whether the fan base, media, or ALMOST anybody else agree's or not...........THAT is what he gets paid to do. Do that Coaching shit...make coaching decisions. Right or wrong....popular or un-popular. At some point in time his boss (and hopefully he has more patience and foresight than the idiotic fan base) will decide if he has been successful enough and won enough games to continue.....

Last year my boss gave me a performance review and he said "SmootSmack, you're a great team player. You value everyone's opinions, you listen to their suggestions, and you work to make sure everyone is satisfied...but you're the leader of your team. Sometimes you need to just take charge and say 'this is my idea, and this is how I want it done' If it fails, it fails and you move on but you're going to be held accountable either way so take charge from the start."

And I said "Thanks Matty"

:rofl:

Anyone who thinks the change to the 3-4 was just too painful without the right players is a moron.

The 3-4 is the defense of Champions in today's NFL.

Anyone who thinks Shanahan was too hard on AH needs to be punched in the nuts because you are a clown.

That is all.

I am 100% behind the 3-4 but technically last years champs ran 4-3. It was a little hard to watch this year at times i.e. the second eagles game but we held Packers, jags, and bears all to under 20 points running this scheme with members who never ran it before and were misplaced inside of it and w/o our best DL man.

And Speaking of Haynesworth, I think Shannahan set a tone with him, used him as an example to the team and Snyder. To the team, he set the tone that he was in charge and no one was bigger than the team. To Snyder he used haynesworth as an example that paying big money to a big play maker who isn't a team player isn't always the answer, and maybe, MAYBE Snyder will finally get it.

He somewhat discredited himself with getting McNabb who was one of the big name pick ups in the off-season, but at least he was a team player even in the worsre of situations.

I always pictured Smootsmack as the Jeff Skilling of the Warpath while Matty is more along the lines of a Kenneth Lay.
