Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
As we look ahead to the 2007 season, who most needs to take that next step in their pro career for the Redskins to be successful (playoffs). For the purposes of this poll, Jason Campbell is not an eligible option because we all know it ultimately rests on his shoulders.
Kedrick Golston LaRon Landry Rocky McIntosh Carlos Rogers Todd Wade (at LG) Other (explain)

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
I voted Rogers, however, I think they all need to step up. I went with Rogers because he was the 9th overall pick (a pick I didn't like at the time) and he hasn't shown me any reason to believe he'll be a #1 corner. I think he's a lot better than people think, but he's not THAT good. He should be a shut down corner if he's gonna go 9.

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
Gregg Williams. I think I've been pretty consistent with my critism of him dating back to last season.
Before we start preaching about how he's only the coach and he can't tackle or catch the ball, I want to take it a step further. Those things are absolutely true. But I think he reacted too slowly with integrating Rocky McIntosh into the starting lineup and making other defensive adjustments. By all accounts, thus far, Rocky could end being a gem. Another thing, how is it that Tiki Barber has a career game against every time he plays against us? Where's the game planning? Where's the mentality, if you beat us it won't be with Tiki rushing for over 200 yrds! Why not make Eli Manning beat you with 40 passes? In my opinion it's the coaches job to "polish" off the talent that exists. I didn't get that impression from Williams last year. Another thing, defensively we didn't play with any fire or urgency last season. You say this was the players fault. I say they didn't whole heartedly buy into what the staff laid out for them on Sundays. These guys are professionals and they have to strap it on every Sunday, I understand that. It just seemed to me that Williams was more interested in doing post game interviews on Comcast rather than make radical adjusments and hold his staff accountable for poor performance after poor performance. |

The only fault I can find with the coaches is their apparent role in personnel decision making. Williams' system didn't change from 2004 to '05 or '06. The only thing that did change was the age of the players, specifically along the defensive line. Then there was the injury to Springs. Again, that's a testament to personnel decisions -- your pass rush shouldn't hinge so heavily on one cornerback; the D-line has to step up and get pressure when everybody else in the secondary sucks so bad that they can't blitz. No coach can "polish" has-been defensive linemen into effective pass rushers. |

You're right, no coach can "polish" an aging player, but he damn sure can help him with technique, which can improve pass rushing skills. |

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
I say Rocky. It won't take a lot for him to step it up compared to Holdman, but that was arguably our weakest link last year. Sure Carlos has some improvement to do, but that was nowhere near the ineptitude of Warrick Holdman. If Rocky can at least be MEDIOCRE that'll make a huge difference in our run defense and in turn our reaction to the playaction.

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
Rogers without question. This is a guy who was drafted ninth overall and to now he has done NOTHING to show for it. 3 interceptions in two seasons. We are not talking about some walk-on scrub this guy was a thorpe award winner. I am sick of him getting burnt. Get up on the line jam the WR's and run with them. I mean he runs a 4.37 god!!!!!!!!!!!1 If he doesn't start doing this, he WILL be riding the bench.

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
I voted the whole team. If we look back to last year we could name a few spots or players who had a good year. But now that I think about it maybe the O line was the only part of our team really clicking and hats off to Betts. We need everyone to re-focus and get this thing going.

Re: Hooskins Presents the "Who Needs to Step Up" Poll
I said Wade. Filling the left guard position is CRUTIAL to the offenses success. The Skins can ill afford to have a gaping hole on the left side as pressure up the middle can kill an offensive scheme regardless of how good it may be. If Wade steps in and performs, this offense has a much better chance of being VERY good. If not, the team will struggle until they put in the patchwork to fix a leaky line.
