Marcus and Antonio had career years and who knows what Lavar would have done. I almost forgot to mention Lemar. HAIL SKINS BABY!!!!!!!

I agree about McCune, he could be a solid addition at linebacker. He certainly has the physical skills. We'll see what Williams and his staff can do with him over the next couple years. At the least, he should be good special teams coverage guy. Hopefully with his age and maturity, his learning curve won't be as steep as it is for most rookies.
McCune was taken in the 5th round, though, and the Redskins could've had both him and Canty, had they not opted for fullback Manuel White with pick #120. Maybe White will turn out to be the goalline and short-yardage back Gibbs is looking for; I just hope Canty doesn't turn into a monster pick for the Cowboys. If White scores a few touchdowns this season, that will make up for it, I hope.
I'm hoping Daniels has a great year, too. I'm just concerned about his ability to stay on the field. That's why I felt the Skins should have addressed the depth at defensive end. Ron Warner and Demetric Evans filled in pretty well last season, and they're still on the roster, so it's not the end of the world.
Like you said, Williams' defensive system is the most powerful weapon the Skins have right now, and he can do a lot with very little.
