Mike Shanahan spent the 2009 season studying the NFL in ways he never had before. It was, after all, the first time he was out of coaching since 1974. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity so he'd be sharper than ever when he took his next gig.

Redskins falter late, fall to Jets 34-19

Redskins’ Barry Cofield has nose for new position
