chalk talk with coach

About what? Anything?

What does he value the most in a WR, if multiple prospects have good size, speed, and hands: route-running or run blocking?

In terms of the playbook, why don't we throw more screens/dump passes to a RB out of the backfield? You see many QB's around the league who make a living doing this, gaining small chunks of yardage consistently, and sometimes breaking off a big play. But its a type of play that you see multiple times per offensive series from them, whereas we seem to run the occasional bubble screen and not much else other than a wheel route by the HB. Why?

Is it because we don't have the correct personnel right now (whether that's lack of accuracy at QB, or lack of hands/speed/play-making ability at HB)? Or is it just not a staple of Kyle's playbook?

I don't know, these might not be great questions, but they are things that I wonder.

Sorry for the delay - it was late when we left Redskin Park last night and I was on my Droid. So, last night was really cool. We went out to Redskin Park for a 'chalk talk' with Coach (and this is Mike Shanahan i'm referring to). He's a really great guy, mingled and answered questions then there was a sit down portion where he spoke to us about his background and took questions after he finished. He has A LOT of passion for the game, for coaching, for winning. He really wants to build a team and admitted that we weren't going to win the Super Bowl in his first or second year, as it was going to take some time to really build what he views to be a winning franchise. When asked about the draft he didn't provide much info, as expected, but did mention that if there isn't a free agency period then the team would have no choice but to go after the best available player.

I feel real good about this franchise's future under Shanahan - he seems to know a lot about the game and what needs to be done to get us our fourth Lombardi Trophy.

Oh - and this event was put on for the premium season ticket holders only. There were about 30 people there last night, which suprised me...thought there'd be a lot more! So, any premium season ticket holders out there....you really should try to attend some of the events the team puts on! For those that aren't premium season ticket holders --- think about trying to upgrade, yeah it's a lot of money...but I've been a part of some really cool events since having my tickets.

Thanks for the info! Now I wish there were less jokes in this thread and more questions, ahaha. Any notable answers from Mike from the questions he was asked? I think we're all assuming charcoal...
