The skinny on Mike Shanahan and what to do about it

[OAM]

Shanny has had 2 losing seasons in the last 10 years in Denver. That is after having to replace guys like T. Davis, J. Elway, Atwater, Sharpe etc. The Broncos biggest problem has been their drafts since 2001. They only have 2 players on their roster drafted between 2001 and 2007. Pretty Sad!

At least you know Shanahan coached teams will be prepared to play and have a solid game plan. Not really something you can say about Wade. Not to mention Denver's current talent compared to Dallas'. Wade's team have underachieved.

:bravo: Not to mention Wade has already been replaced by Shanny who won the SB twice in a row 2 season after doing so. In a coaching perspective I have no idea where this guy even tries to compare Wade to Shanahan. 2 totally different breeds of HC. 1's a winner and the other isn't.

We'de do alot better with Eric Mangini or a fresh face assistant who would leave defensive pieces in place, and utilize the big offensive line blocking scheme while featuring the runners. We'd also be a stronger December road team.

That's hillarious. Better off with Eric Mangini who is this supposed December winning machine? Eric Mangini has not even won a playoff game in his career and has a .479 career regular season record. A fresh faced coordinator is better than a 2 time SB winning coach? What's so fresh about Mangini anyways HC wise? Do you even know anything you are talking about or are you just shooting for the sake of doing so? You're a monkey who knows nothing about football. You compare Wade Phillips and Eric Mangini careers to Mike Shanahan's? Wow!

You're the Brian Stewart of football bloggers brother. Smarten up.

Shanahan cold water.

1.)Suppose this turns out to be Wade's record over 4 years here.

8 8 .500 0-0
7 9 .438 0-0
9 7 .563 0-0
13 3 .813 1-1

Would he even see year 4? This is Shanahan's record over the last 4.

2.) For 20 years this team has not exceeded 34 sacks in a season. 2007-Bring in a perennial NFL sack leading San Diego DC Wade Phillips-- Dallas sets team records and leads the league in sacks (59!) just like SD did - not a coincidence IMO. Wait til we get more confidence and experience (and another draft) from young back 8 defenders and lots of INTs are coming.Can't blow this part up--It's the key to stopping modern offenses.

3.) It is foolish to speculate an NFL HC would step down to DC on the same team--never happens, isn't gonna happen here. Goodby Campo, Phillips and everyone else.

4.)We have great RBs coming back next yr. but get ready for Bruce Coslet style zone blocking OLs because that's what Shanahan is the leading proponent of.That means light agile lineman, pulling guards, That means blow up the whole line.Only Andre Gurode (ran similar OF at Colorado) fits and he can't get the snap right, impossible to implement in 2 seasons let alone one TC.

5.)Shanahan will be less than pleased having others dominate draft selection,we're coming off a very good draft performance in 2008 thank you.Hhe'll have to adjust, if he went to Detroit,NYJ, STL he would not. He'll always resent that.

We'de do alot better with Eric Mangini or a fresh face assistant who would leave defensive pieces in place, and utilize the big offensive line blocking scheme while featuring the runners. We'd also be a stronger December road team.

Finally a voice of reason and reality.
