RI: Early reflections

I gotta tellya, it just has to be Williams - has to be. I understand that Cower is a great coach and all, but I really think this team is beyond just another great head coach.

I think these guys are bidding for something a little more at this point. They want to enter next year fighting together. I also still get the sense, they want to somehow fully redeem Taylor; at least on the field. Just because they've turned the calendar on a new NFL season, Taylor will live on with them. I know that kind of inspiration can only last for so long, but I think it's still very present in their minds.

Secondly, Gregg Williams is now connected to this group of players that transcends contracts, the salary cap, and the business aspect of football. He inheirently understands the marching orders now. For the past four years, Gregg Williams has re-learned leadership 101 from Joe Gibbs. He understands the vibe. I think he knows when to back off and when to press.
