Character!!!

[Schneed10]

Yep, I gotta love the types of guys we got here, even if I've never heard of several of them. One served in Kuwait and South Korea, another graduated from The Citadel. Nobody has a bigger work ethic and respect for authority than the military. Not to mention tough.

We've got a potential Antonio Pierce Jr. in Newberry, who was a national merit scholar. We need a field general at LB, and this guy might be it someday.

We shouldn't expect our squad to get turned around overnight. Right now we're bringing in hard-working, humble players. We can build upon that and pretty soon we'll have a very strong team concept in place.

This is the same approach that New England is using as well. Obviously it has worked for them.

Two comments here:

1. As long as Joe Gibbs is even a part of the personnel selection/retantion processes here, character will be an important part of the equation. You can agree or disagree with the level of importance that is given to "character" but that's the way it is and is gonna be.


2. Do NOT take any item published/reported on redskins.com as anything more than "propaganda". If it has a "message" in it for the guys not participating in the off-season program, you can be sure that it is a "message" generated and prepared by the Skins' FO and no one else. Don't rely on anything there as being authoratative or even "truthful" any more than you would rely on something offered up by the folks who administer the Redskins' cheerleaders.
