macnoke03 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writers/peter_king/12/17/week15/index.html Not sure about this first one though: The Award Section Offensive Player of the Week Mark Brunell, QB, Washington. What? But, you say, he didn't even play in the Redskins' upset of the Saints. Correct. "He did an incredible job for us last week, and he deserves some credit for this win,'' assistant head coach/defense Gregg Williams said. "Even though he's left-handed, he played Drew Brees perfectly on our scout team all week, giving the defense a great look. He went to the spots on the field Brees would go to, and threw to the spots Brees would throw to. Coach of the Week Gregg Williams, assistant head coach/defense, Washington. Williams orchestrated a great defensive gameplan to shock the Saints. His plan: never let Brees get comfortable, make sure Reggie Bush doesn't have any lanes to motor forward in the screen game, and beat the crap out of the Saints' receivers. Washington 16, New Orleans 10. Mission accomplished. f. You know what I liked about the Redskins in the win at New Orleans? Everything h. Ladell Betts, we have to give you the MVRP (Most Valuable Relief Pitcher). What a closer you've been in place of Clinton Portis, with four straight 100-yard games.

@DCGoldPants Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 It doesn't hurt him now because they are officially out of the hunt. So, he can do it and point back on this as proof he doesn't hate D.C. This time last year, he was on TK's show talking about a Dallas superbowl run.

halter91 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 yeah really. I'm in shock! Too bad it's too late, but we can build off this for next year. Let's win out, the players deserve it. They could have easily quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Full Monty Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Actually - that is only one of the interesting parts of that article. San Diego (12-2). The Chargers are a wonderful team, the class of the NFL with two games to play, and I'd say this is the best team Marty Schottenheimer has had this late in any of his 21 seasons as a head coach. And you know what he told me the other day when I asked him about being sixth on the all-time victory list (203 wins in 21 years), just six behind Chuck Noll (209 wins in 23 years)? "I still think my best coaching job was in Washington [2001], going 8-8,'' he said. Me, too. Imagine if Dan Snyder had stuck with Schottenheimer instead of getting seduced by Steve Spurrier. I would agree with Marty's statement, King's closing sentence is a cheap shot because it's in hindsight but I remember how at the end of that season nobody wanted to play us. Davis was chewing up yards on the ground and LaVar was maiming people on defense while Bailey and Smoot were each making plays and getting INT's. If Marty and Snyder met each other half way we probably wouldn't have struggled as we did under Spurrier. But that's on both men, and it's over. I still agree that it was a heckuva coaching job that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I was wrong about King. Now that I see some things differently, I really do believe he's just trying to be objective and DOES NOT have an agenda when it comes to the Skins.

So he just didn't support Art Monk for HOF because he doesn't like Monk personally rather than the uniform he wore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whlinder Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Actually - that is only one of the interesting parts of that article. Totally agree. I would agree with Marty's statement, King's closing sentence is a cheap shot because it's in hindsight but I remember how at the end of that season nobody wanted to play us. Davis was chewing up yards on the ground and LaVar was maiming people on defense while Bailey and Smoot were each making plays and getting INT's.

I still agree that it was a heckuva coaching job that year. I agree as well. I mean he won 8 games with Tony freakin Banks. Tony Banks! But I don't mind the cheap shot at Snyder. Dan deserves it. Firing Marty to bring in Spurrier set the franchise back 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good coach with an excellent background and he should've been able to build on that 8-8 season. I wish him well because Danny royally screwed that dude.

robotfire Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Peter King has been a supporter of Jason Campbell since before the draft. Getting Campbell makes Peter King a Redskins fan. For some reason, he loves Campbell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good that Brunell has stepped back so gracefully and that he's helped the team in his backup role, but it would've been great to see it when he was a starter....

GibbsFactor Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 What are ya gonna do. All the mediots were vendicated this year with the way we fell apart. To their credit, not even the mediots thought we'd be 5-9. That's why they play the game. I can't say anything to any of them, cause we haven't produced at all. Another, wait and see year.

Williams orchestrated a great defensive gameplan to shock the Saints. His plan: never let Brees get comfortable, make sure Reggie Bush doesn't have any lanes to motor forward in the screen game, and beat the crap out of the Saints' receivers. So....what was the gameplan of the other defensive coordinators that the Saints went up against...let Brees get as comfortable as he wants, give Bush several running lanes to choose from and pat the Saints receivers on the back whenever they make a good play??...lol :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
