EersSkins05 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Whitlock's NFL truths columns are always good. He's not very good when he tries to tackle sociological issues in a sports context though... I know he got canned from ESPN for slamming some of the network guys on someone's blog, but does anyone else have any info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCountry22 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 For those of you who do not know Jason Whitlock has moved from ESPN to aol.com sports. This week in his NFL truths column he calls the Redskins the best team in the league, check it out. http://sports.aol.com/whitlock/_a/bears-are-good-but-truth-is-skins-are/20061005104209990001 "3. Don’t give up on the 1-2 New York Giants, even if they fall to 1-3 this weekend. They have the necessary talent to recover. Their slow start is a product of a difficult schedule – Indy, Philly and Seattle. I think the Giants will lose this weekend to the Redskins, the best team in the league once Shawn Springs returns to the lineup. You see, I started this topic talking about the Giants, but I really want to talk about the Redskins. I just don’t want to be held accountable for what I’m about to say about the Redskins if it doesn’t come true. So, for the record, the only things that can be thrown in my face at a later date are the things I say in the first sentence. Got it? Good. The Redskins are everything I thought they’d be at the beginning of the season except sound on defense. No way Washington’s defense is as leaky as it appears. Springs’ absence at corner is causing much of the problem. When he returns, the Redskins will have one of the league’s five best defenses. Al Saunder’s offense put 36 points on the Jaguars. After a slow start, Saunders has Mark Brunell, Clinton Portis, Santana Moss and Co. moving up and down the field. I like Washington a teeny bit more than Chicago."

Cooley4President Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow, I agree with just about everything he says in his column. I always thought it was just a homer-ish view I had about the Skins, good to hear an objective voice say it as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldsdbomber Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 bear in mind that this guy is the fat waster who said that Steve Redgrave had no place being considered one of the great athletes of all time - for winning OLYMPIC ROWING GOLD FIVE OLYMPICS IN A ROW. So take his opinion with a bit of salt. Having said that, it's nice that someone rates us. I still worry that one CB can be such a big factor, but I guess we may find out if Springs can come back healthy soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinclair Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 WOW, thats kind of a crazy statement esp the way the bears are playing ive officially decided that you have the best name and sig on this board...Inigo Montoya is my hero!

FranklinNoble Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Jason Whitlock also thinks Jeff George is still the best quarterback in the NFL, so, to quote Harvey Keitel, "Let's not start sucking each other's ***** just yet." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkFan8 Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 Jason Whitlock is the man. Nice to see someone in the media sticking to their guns rather than waffling each weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinthemboys Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 The offense, defense, and st, can all use some improving. If the offense improves, It will be hard to out score us. If our pass d is stiffened up after springs return, It will be hard to contend with us. Anything can happen, but the skins have all the pieces necassary to go to miami. Call it homerish if you wish, but Ive waited a while to be able to honestly make that claim, and, well, I'm making it. Whitlocks statement is very true, IF our pass D tightens up.
