Actually, reading this article made me think of another thread about having the "disease" and this article really gave me my daily relapse. It really has me excited about the defense this year. The fact that Williams practically apologized for last season made me feel good. It showed that he must not be this hard assed know-it-all ALL of the time. I feel like after taking the D from #3, to #9, and to a dismal #31 last year he knows that his reputation as well as his "right to the throne" (as the Redskins Head Coach) may be in jeopardy. He asked for Smoot and Stoutmire back, and asked for Landry. Put confidence in his returning D-Line and I think that is going to give them a fire needed to make this unit better than they were last year. I'm pretty fired up.
A lot of people seem to forget that Sean Taylor has wonderful hands. The picks that he's racked up have shown that. He has an eye for the ball and can cover. Hopefully he doesn't gamble as much as he did last year. maybe he was coached too much last year. The secondary has depth, they are not all #1's , not even all #2's but the needed depth for the types of blitzes that we saw in '04 and '05 is there. You can blitz a Nickle, a one, or a two and have the coverage that is needed. Washington is geared up for his return but are his bone spurs going to cause a problem ?
Can the offenses familiarity with Al Saunders' system they should be able to improve on last years #14 rating ? A returning Clinton Portis to pair up with Ladell Betts who really stepped his game up last season when Portis was sidelined makes the running game even more dangerous that it already was. Can Brandol Lloyd silence his critics this year ? Will Todd Wade be able to hold down the Left Guard spot left vacant by Derrick Dockery ?
The players asked for that time off and they got it. Training Camp will be more intense than last years which should help the team. Gibbs showed them that he can give them what they ask for as long as they give him what he asks for.
100%
FUCK I'M STOKED !!!! HAIL TO THE REDSKINS !!!!
