Well, we've got a reputation for being one of the toughest teams in the NFL, but no one said we could line up in the off-season for scholarly awards.

Pete Kendall and Antwaan Randle El aside, we haven't pulled a Patriot, and gone out of our way to acquire cerebral players. That's not really "Redskin football". Redskin football has always been tough, hard nosed, beat them at the point of attack style.

This is very true; however, with the way that play books are drawn up now, as apposed to the 80's especially with this west coast offense, players have to be somewhat intellegent. When I say intellegent the only thing I'm saying is smart enough to realize that you have to memorize a pretty thick playbook. They all know the game of football. It just comes down to intead of watching TV all night or whaterver, just memorize a playbook, its not that hard.
