Washington Redskins offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is lucky. His Dallas counterpart, Jason Garrett, was even worse than he was in Washington's 13-7 victory on Sunday.
Two of the NFL's young guns fired a lot of blanks on a woeful offensive night, combining for one offensive touchdown. Garrett sure isn't replacing coach Wade Phillips whenever the Cowboys switch -- at least not after this debacle. Shanahan made a few curious calls, too.
The lights shine bright on night games, and they can burn right through resumes.
Is it Shanahan's fault the Redskins offensive line still stinks despite changing three starters? Is it the coordinator's problem the team still doesn't have a No. 2 receiver or third-down back? Maybe not, but he's supposed to make lemonade out of this.
Shanahan led Houston's offense the past two seasons. The Texans rolled up an NFL-best 4,654 passing yards and were fourth in overall offense in 2009. But his Redskins debut never established any flow after the opening drive.
