It's kind of funny that so many expect Washington to put out a top tier product after the cap penalty levied over the past two seasons. Even the boobs in the booth yesterday brought up the subject, and had a graphic up with the players Philly had accounting for 18K in cap. It was like 6 or 7 key starters. Multiply that by two, and that leaves us with jack **** to build with.
Some say that's Snyders fault. Me, I see don't it that way. There's an old saying.... you can't make chicken salad out of chicken **** and if you do, nobody is going to swallow it.
If we were winning right now, Shanny would be a god instead on the hot seat for making a team with few top tier players win. He's had chicken **** to work with, so why the great surprise when we're up and down.
you have reduced 20 seasons to the last two. that's called a limited sample set in some businesses. while that might explain short-run impacts…it doesn't cover the 20 years.
btw…one answer to your Shanahan question is that the lack of raw talent in the material may not be the only factor. perhaps, core philosophy may also be at fault. a run dominance strategy based on an undersized but athletic line may not be the best approach in a league that BY DESIGN favors the passing game. kinda like in golf these days - the change in technology favors the long hitters over the shorter, more accurate ball strikers. the game has changed and one adapts, falls behind or sets the next paradigm. not saying this is the case, but it is something to think about.
