07/10/11 The Shanahan name is one that has been around the NFL for a long time. When you think of the Shanahan name you think about Mike Shanahan's potent rushing attacks in Denver . Having the ability of putting any runningback behind his offensive line and rushing for 1,000 yards. Or maybe you think of his 2 superbowl victories with arguably one of the top 5 quarterbacks to play the game in John Elway ...

06/14/11 When head coach Mike Shanahan and the Washington Redskins selected Purdue pass-rusher Ryan Kerrigan, it wasn't all positive feedback and loads of excitement. Some of Redskins Nation liked the selection, but didn't love it, while others thought it to be entirely too high for a college prospect that didn't necessarily receive the notoriety of being flashy or sexy. But when the team passed on the ...
05/30/11 How's John Beck sound as your new starting quarterback, Redskins fans? That's what Mike Shanahan is intending, and Pete Prisco just can't fathom why the supposed offensive guru is banking on such an inexperienced arm.
05/23/11 As soon as head coach Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb for backup quarterback Rex Grossman, Redskins fans and personnel alike knew that move could only mean one thing: McNabb is on his way out of Washington. Since season's end, questions have swirled about who Shanahan will choose to replace the former Eagle, who most recently worked out for the Arizona Cardinals. If the Redskins can't find ...
05/19/11 Forbes.com released a story on the highest paid coaches in American sports on Thursday, which Bill Belichick tops thanks to his reported $7.5 million annual salary. Whether his failure to win a Super Bowl in over six years warrants this or not, plenty of worthy NFL coaches are absent from this list of big butter and egg men. So what if Mike Shanahan, Pete Carroll, Lovie Smith, Ken Whisenhunt ...
05/05/11 I never thought we'd be at this stage in Donovan McNabb's career. Well, at least not this early. Everything seemed great a year ago. McNabb was moving to the Washington Redskins, Jason Campbell had evacuated to Oakland, and finally Mike Shanahan was taking over a team headed in the right direction. Tah-tah Philadelphia and welcome to a new beginning, right? Think again. I guess none of us really ...
04/30/11 Will the 2011 NFL Draft Result in a Fourth-Round Steal for the Redskins? Given his track record, people tend to turn and look when Mike Shanahan drafts a running back. After all, this is a guy who drafted Terrell Davis and Mike Anderson in the sixth round, Olandis Gary in the fourth round, and Clinton Portis in the second round. The four of them turned out okay, don't you think? On Saturday ...

04/29/11 NFL Rumors Say Donovan McNabb Will Not be a Redskin in 2011 Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins did not work out so well. So much so that McNabb was benched towards the end of the season by head coach Mike Shanahan for Rex Grossman. If he thinks Grossman should be a starter then clearly he has issues with McNabb. It appears that the Redskins will be drafting a quarterback tonight, which ...
04/25/11 Is there something more important than wide receiver? I don't disagree with Grant Paulsen. In fact, I like his thinking. I just don't necessarily agree with the order. Paulsen examined the Redskins' needs in the upcoming draft and ranked them according to priority. The first one was somewhat shocking, but not really: Quarterback. You have to assume that Mike Shanahan wants to hand-pick a passer ...
04/15/11 The latest rumors surrounding the Washington Redskins and their No. 10 overall pick seem to be about University of Washington quarterback Jake Locker. Because Locker has drawn comparisons to current Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and former Denver Broncos quarterback Jake Plummer, many believe that Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan has a man-crush on the 22-year-old signal-caller. Although ...
04/12/11 The Washington Redskins were expected to be contenders in the NFC East division after trading for quarterback Donovan McNabb and hiring Mike Shanahan as the new head coach.

The NFL Draft is around the ...

However, there were some bright spots and the team contended in nearly every game. Washington is closer to success than some think, but are still at least one year away from becoming a legitimate contender in the NFC East ...
03/30/11 Ever since the Washington Redskins head coach, Mike Shanahan, benched QB Donovan McNabb last season, there has been a lot of speculation about where McNabb will play in 2011. Although McNabb could get another chance with the Redskins, two likely teams he could end up playing for are the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers. However, one of these teams makes more sense for Donovan McNabb ...
03/26/11 NFL Draft 2011 Will Come with the Redskins Looking to Upgrade at the Quarterback Position, but That Might Not Be the Best Idea Like most of the teams holding picks in the Top 10 of this year's NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins are in the market for a quarterback. The Donovan McNabb era crashed and burned about halfway through its first season, and one can excuse head coach Mike Shanahan if he's ...
03/23/11 Like so many teams in this year's draft, Washington is in dire need of a franchise quarterback, especially after last season's Donovan McNabb debacle. Unfortunately for Mike Shanahan, taking a quarterback here would be a bit of a stretch, even for the likes of Jake Locker and Ryan Mallett, who will be available in the second round. As such, the Redskins will likely turn their attention to their ...
03/22/11 NEW ORLEANS | Mike Shanahan spent Tuesday morning in a plush hotel dining room answering questions as he nibbled on a bagel and sipped orange juice. It is about as relaxed as you'll see Shanahan, who has coached for almost 40 years. He would discuss almost any topic except the ...
02/28/11 As the Denver Broncos approach the NFL Draft, take a look at the hits and misses John Fox made in Carolina.
