putting this last game aside, we have had a much improved aerial attack. this year's offense has had many more explosive long-yard plays.
i just wonder how much not having even a decent o line effects the play calling, how much does it limit what the shannys want to do. this on top of mike shanahan making comments or atelast impling that mcnabb is not as far along on the learning curve as he had hoped.
i really think mcnabb was a necessary addition in mike's mind b/c he knew with a horrid o line he was going to have alot of trouble even running an effective base offense without a veteran qb at the helm.
we have found some cheap talent like torain, banks, armstrong. im not saying torain is a legit #1 runningback or that armstrong has solidified the no 2 receiver spot or that banks is anything more than a special special teams player but, given what he and allen had to work with and with the addition of trent williams as a permenant starter at LT and j brown hopefully healthy enough to lock down the RT spot, i think our FO did the best they could.
no, it wasnt a complete blow it up and start from scratch approach but the moves they made, did upgrade this team.

Only temporarily and not enough to justify the cost. We're 28th in points scored, which is what really matters for offense. Shanahan always has had an eye for drafting offensive talent and finding offensive talent in UDFA. A higher draft pick is more important for a rebuild.
