The Washington Redskins will probably not make the playoffs

Last night was a classic "Whats wrong with the Giants?" Game

Shanahans job is not on the line. Especially not now. Ever coach does everything they can to "win now" regardless of their job security

Also I love Alfred Morris but I know Shannahan and his history. You probably wont remember who Alfred Morris was in 3 years.

If the Redskins had stayed healthy on defense, then I'd definitely give them a puncher's chance.

95-98- Rode Terrell Davis
99- Davis injured 4 games in, rides Olandis Gary
00- Davis injured 5 games in, rides Mike Anderson
01- Davis injured 8 games in (still led team in rushing), rides Anderson

So until this point, Shannahan is going to ride TD from at least 95-01, maybe longer if the dude doesn't blow out his knees.

02- Davis retires, rides Portis (rookie)
03- Portis
04- Portis traded for Champ Bailey, Rueben Droughns runs for 1,200 (start of rotating RBs)

Portis goes for 1,500+ his first two seasons and most certainly would have been Shannahan's bell cow if he stayed.

05- Mike Anderson
06- Tatum Bell,
07- Selvin Young, Travis Henry
08- Hillis, Pittman

Point is, Shannahan rides his RBs. Morris is a Shannahan RB. For a 5 year stretch, he was forced to rotate a bunch of different guys. His RB juggling is a perpetuated myth.
