If things don't start to turn around soon after all of the changes they may never

[sens11]

After a 4-12 season; they damn well better have a chip on their shoulder..

TRUE!

[Hitman21ST]

Oops! forgot Clinton with the biggest chip of all!

Not to mention Devin Thomas (Devon Smith?) or Malcolm (Malcomb) Kelly wanting to prove themselves...

Devin White damn it! Get it right!

Devin White damn it! Get it right!

My bad, I just can't seem to correctly remember their names...

I don't see any way possible that the answer to this is anything but true. I can't think of a time in recent NFL history where a team's owner, GM, coach, & QB each had a huge chip on their shoulders and felt the need to "prove" themselves like Danny, Bruce, Shanny & DMac. I think all of this will translate into wins and successful runs here for Bruce, Shanny, & DMac. Don't get me wrong, I think each would be motivated regardless of their backgrounds, but I'm sure having those chips of their shoulders has given them an extra jolt when they wake up every morning.

From everything I've seen and read, every player on this team seems to have a chip on their shoulders - well except for one and we know who that is. :paranoid:

[Dukes and Skins]

True with out a doubt this team is hungry to win and you can see that everyone has a chip on their shoulder to prove they are better than they were before. DMC5 Shanny Bruce and on down to the strength coaches all want to prove they are the better

[theTruthTeller]

Definitely true - but at what cost?

I don't like a 4-12 team having a "win now" outlook. I'd like to see a "acquire talent now" outlook. We'll know what direction they are taking by the end of training camp. Maybe a lot of those old bodies are just for practice. But the thought of relying on McNabb, Portis, Johnson, Westbrook, Moss, and Galloway leaves me unexcited about the season and the near term prospects.

My only question is what would the media do if the Skins pulled out 3 superbowls in 4 years. Would they still be trashing the skins or would you see the media and its band wagon ways?

WOW!!

Stay medium....

You, but not Shanahan and the coaching staff. And that's what's the most important thing.

As I said, a bunch of those players may be gone by the end of camp. So we really don't know what Shanahan thinks about the team makeup yet. I've been assuming that adding Wade and Galloway means that he's not sold on Kelly and Thomas. Maybe he just wants to push them in camp.

He ate his chip.

[Section123OnSundays]

TRUE Cowboys are going to feel the pain first game, you better believe it!!!!!!!!!!!

[gaskinsfan]

I do think they are motivated to win, not as much a chip on their shoulder as a deep desire to prove that they were better than the 4-12 debacle from last season.

The Redskins have good personnel that has under achieved. This is especially true on the offensive side of the ball, where JC + poor scheme (Zorn + Bingo) = poor offense.

With Kyle Shan + McNabb the offense will be much better. Defensively they were plain vanilla every week, should be more explosive group this year.

Looking forward to it...

The problem with the acquire now mentality is that they only had 4 picks in the draft. It is kinda hard to acquire talent with only 4 picks and this strange free agency season. The guys in the FO did an outstanding job just getting the players they did!

I need to think of it this way, get the vets to build a foundation and then bring in the noobs and build on a that solid foundation. Shanallan is doing the right thing the only way they could have, it was the the only option available and they succeeded!
