I think the team needs more abrasive coaches that get in the players face and make them uncomfortable. This year from training camp on seemed to be about making the players comfortable (from the white unis, to not playing in preseason, to short camp) and the results were a disaster. Player discomfort is a good thing in pro sports.

Based on the fact that players in their contract year always seem to play great. IMO they play extra hard because they know if they dont play great their contract may go down.

Of course the Redskins like to not bother with contract years and extend players that have had a few good games (Betts) thereby removing any discomfort and incentive for the player.

"players that have had a few good games (Betts)....."

Betts had 1154 rushing yards this year!

He's had 307 in '02, 255, 371, 338 and a total of 2425 and a 4.3 avg. Betts has played in a back up role with us. He is a Redskin!
