Opening Drives of First and Second Halves

Just a thought--since Saunders has come in, Williams' D has sucked. Is he down becuase he no longer thinks he's the heir apparent in DC? Has he thrown in the towel? (This is total speculation, but I find the utter collapse of this D mystifying as well. Hence, my conspiracy theory... )

they downgraded at LB, and DB and took a lot of injuries.

Nope, he just doesn't trust his CBs enough to bring the house more than once or twice a game. So instead of running a high risk, high reward scheme, we now have a scheme that allows us to get picked apart 100% of the time, be it all-pro QB or rookie who we are facing. We have a lot of system-made players on this team, and this team refuses to use it's system.

Gregg Williams didn't fail as the Buffalo HC because he was a defensive mastermind. I don't believe that his system will ever be as good as it was the last two years in Washington.

I'm thinking his days here are numbered to when Gibbs leaves. I believe the next head coach of the Redskins will come from outside the organization, and Saunders will probably stay.

i hope not. saunders only cares about CYA/proving that nothing bad could possibly be his fault. he also wants to be a HC, so if gibbs goes and someone comes in from outside, i'd bet he leaves by his choice or that of the new HC.
