Are you buying into the Shanaplan?

One guy who has played admirably when he's been called into action is Maurice Hurt. Haven't seen him this year, but he was so soft coming into the league (athletically). I wonder how much better he can get if he keeps lifting and getting lean.

Yes, the Shanaplan is working. Patience is paying off and I couldn't be happier.

I voted no because I wanted to be the Lone Wolf in my fight against the establishment. In this case, the Lone Goat is a better description.

I would be All In Hook, Line and Sinker.......except Mike is:
Too old, burnt out. Need a younger guy that can connect with the players...
Never that good...Only success came in a weak division.....
Can't do shit without a HOF QB...nothing without Elway...
Can't do shit without a HOF RB...nothing without Terrel Davis....
His system can't work in the New NFL.....
That college shit won't work...Defenses will figure it out....

AND his kid is shit and couldn't get a job without ......daddy.
I would have more in reply to the topic here but the MF'r is..
.......Holding me back! HTTR

I'll buy in when we become a playoff team. Until then hes just another coach.

Wow, you'll buy into the plan (that's the question) when it comes to fruition...

Brilliant. We need more inspired insight from you...

Strong post.

I've bought into the 2012 Redskins. I'm not going to pretend that I had some great faith that the season wasn't over at 3-6. I had assumed it was. Mike Shanahan and co have changed my mind on the direction of the season. I believe they are going to finish as NFC East champs.

Long term, I mean its Griffin's show here. Sunday was cool and all, but long term it's going to be difficult to sustain that offense without more of a burden on the quarterback. I think he can handle it. I'm not sure he isn't the MVP of the league this year.

I consider myself an early adopter of the Shanaplan. I said many times in this past offseason that my evaluation of him began in earnest this year because of the horrible roster he inherited and the stunted offseasons in 2010 and 2011 due to the labor situation. I willingly ignored the 'he's got a worse record than Zorn' and 'why did (fill in the team here) get better so quickly and we still suck' crowds with a view on the bigger picture.

Not gonna lie, around Halloween, things didn't look good. However, I've been very impressed with the team's performance in the past 6 weeks and think that we have an extremely bright future ahead of us with lots of talented young players and depth.

I think we're in middle of Phase 2 of the Shanaplan.. Phase One-Purge the old roster. Phase 2-Build a younger roster around a young franchise QB. Phase Three-Develop a sustainable winning program to pass down to Kyle. I anticipate a 3 year extension for Shanny this offseason and an extension for Kyle which includes a succession clause.

It's worth pointing out that he inherited an awful roster (from himself) this past offseason and still managed to stage something of a turnaround to the point where we made a worst to fighting for first move in the standings behind a main acquisition (Griffin), a surprise emergence (Morris), and a bit of internal development (Trent, Monty). So the idea that he needed all this time...I mean look at the top performers during this winning streak. That didn't take very long at all.

I have bought into the Shanaplan. The last 2 yrs I said MS needed to get players to work in his system. The first yr the team could only run cause McNabb was horrid at throwing. The second yr the team threw more cause the OL were not creating holes for the RB's. In the past 10-15 yrs this team could not break 20 pts a game. This yr we have a run game and a passing game and they are breaking 20 pts almost every game.

Offense= Fixed. for he most part.

Defense is another story. I still feel there's got to be someone better then Haslett out there. But the players have stepped up big in the last few games.
