In Cousins we trust

I think someone needs to give it up for Kyle Shanahan. Last year many members on this site were calling him a bum as a play caller and wanted him out. Now that he has NFL calibre talent he is looking much better, no? He consistently creates game plans and calls plays that produce QB's with QB ratings over 100.

I always said give him talent like Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson and you would get the same results. Well, we don't have a true #1 WR like Johnson, but I'd argue that we have better QB talent now and look at the results. Everyone is learning just what the pistol formation and the zone read scheme can do and it is taking the league by storm.

Kyle definitely deserves some kudos!!! . . . what i do like is that his WR's seem to always be open . . . now that we have QB's that can get them the ball his is looking like a genius . . . love the balanced attack and his willingness to stick with the run too !!

Both Shanahans have done a great job this year, as has Jim Haslett -- though I don't think the latter will get much credit for it. I keep reading Kyle Shanahan will be a hot head coaching commodity this year and I don't doubt it. I thought the plan was for Dad to win a Super Bowl and then hand the reins over to his son while the old man become a full-time GM. I wonder if Kyle will get an offer good enough to nix that plan and set off on his own.

I'll dissent on this one. I think RG3 and Morris have made all the difference to save the Shanahans. A team that leads the league in penalties is not a well coached team, to mention only one area, but if you win nobody cares. But the penalties can still make the difference against more competitive teams. And our defense has got a long way to go.

hmmm . . . i do think that the offensive game plans have VASTLY improved . . . but part of that i'm sure has to do with better players running them . . . Haslett . . . hmmmmmer . . . lol . . . his defense was NOT at all prepared coming into the season . . . he was horrible at making adjustments . . . BUT, for whatever reason, he has been making GREAT defensive adjustments during this streak . . . especially in the Giants and Ravens games . . . but he still hasn't been able to really play 2 solid halves . . . but he is very lacking talent too . . . not sure what i would do with him . . . but the Shanny's would be going no where . . .
