Truant Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Debbie downers will hate this.... 'Special' Feeling At Welcome Home Luncheon “We signed every player that we wanted from our own team,” he said. “We were able to do that this offseason. That doesn’t happen very often. We had Santana and Jammal [brown], all the way through our guys – we wanted them because they could make up the nucleus of our football team. We knew we had to have them. “We went out and researched free agents, guys who were the nucleus of their football teams, guys like Barry Cofield, Stephen Bowen. They were not only great football players but they also had great character.” Shanahan then recounted a recent conversation he had with his wife Peggy. “My wife told me I’d been in training camp for 28 days and I’d been in the league for 28 years,” he said. “One thing that stands out that she told me, ‘You see something very special in this football team. I’ve never seen you so excited about a team.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destructis Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 He is building it his way and starting to bring back the respectability and glory of the Redskins. I saw something earlier today where he said that the old Skins set the bar and anything less than a Super Bowl was unacceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

authentic Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I'm of the cautious optimistic group. But I'm getting fired up, i must admit. However, we NEED to beat the Giants on Sept 11. We can't allow them to keep beating us at home. Its no longer acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailToTheRedskins14 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I think the biggest thing we forget about Shanahan is his year off "sabbatical" from coaching, where he went all over the league and studied his trade even more. I believe in what we're doing and I got us as 2nd in the division. In only year 2 of Shanahan's system, that's pretty damn good. Let's start by smacking the VaGiants in the ******* mouth.

DC9 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Forget drinking the kool aid I'll have the bath please 11-5 or 5-11 I'm sticking with my Skins. lol. Great quote Santana 89, and I HAVE to agree! There is something special going on here, even if it doesn't materialize this year. There is accountability on the field, something we haven't seen here in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
