No_Pressure Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm convinced that it is this...http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?373358-NFL.com-Report-Mike-Shanahan-s-comments-bother-Redskins I think this was a major part of it as well. I thought when he made the comments it seemed like an obvious attempt to get some this team fired up about something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The D is getting a little better (other than loosing a starting CB to stupidity :doh:) but I don't see this as a "turn around". This is the same team that has been playing all year. The Skins lack the talent to be a truly dominant team but they are very dangerous and have been able to continue to improve on the details. If there *is* a "turn around" I would have to say that the team is starting to believe they can win, but I still say that's just part of an ongoing process.

Mad Mike Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I think this was a major part of it as well. I thought when he made the comments it seemed like an obvious attempt to get some this team fired up about something. Shanahan has made several comments that have defined the team. The first came pre-season when he said "talk is cheap", a theme he has continued to repeat. The second was a week before he made the comments about evaluating players, which I took as only *part* of the whole message when he basically told the vets to put up or shut up.

#BgMase76# Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 The return of Garçon has sparked RGIII. He had a solid #1 who opens everything up for the other offensive players to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomadicSkinFan Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 RG3 has also been unleashed. He was a game manager the first 9 games of the season. Yes he had insanely good games, especially on the ground, but his role as a passer was very conservative. The moment he threw that ball into double coverage to Moss on the 2 yard line, a new era began. Honestly, I think this has a ton to do with it. At the beginning of the year, we weren't taking any shots down the field. Teams were playing the safeties up and it made it more difficult to do anything. After a couple RG3 bombs to blazing fast wide receivers, teams have gotten a bit nervous and backed their safeties up. This helps open up the running game and 10-20 yard passes. The Giants safeties were so far back, they weren't even on the screen many times. That's when you can tell a team respects your QBs deep ball. And when that happens, many things open up.

LaxinFish29 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Simple. There are other factors but the main is the coaches. Young guys maturing, wrs stepping up, Garcon, forcing turnovers. I know its not the popular answer. Mike motivated. Kyle has taken more shots and opened up the field. Haz is bringing more rushers and getting pressure.

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Let's give Shanny some credit. He threw down the gauntlet. Our guys have responded. Looks like his five year plan could put us in the NFC title game before he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
