Must-Read Article on GW and the Defense

[12thMan]

Couple of things: GW's denfense has slipped little by little since 2004. Two people that should have never, ever left Washington was Antonio Pierce and Ryan Clark. All the rest you can have...maybe Walt Harris was a keeper, but oh well.

Secondly, I don't think the fact that this article has come out in the public will affect the Redskins any more adversly than it already has. I don't think these type of things affect the locker room like we think they do. I don't get the impression that this player is a locker room cancer, but on the contrary, he's simply sharing a common sentiment that has already exsited for most of the season. The reality is these guys talk to each other all the time, on the cell phone, text message, they go shopping and eating together, they party together...hell, they even shower together! So no one is going to be blown away by this article, I think. What was shared isn't new at Redskin Park or to any of the Redskins...it's just new to us.

I think Gibbs has their attention right now, but the real question is, is it too little, too late?
