Hitman#21 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 No doubt, should this happen, that the Rams will be an improved team. Wish them both well. If the Rams do bring both in, you gotta think Scott Linehan knows his days are numbered because those are too qualified guys waiting for his job......

skinsince72 Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I doubt they will end up on the same team. But if they do, what about the "they don't get along" rumors we talked about so much? They will be an asset to any team that picks them up. And they will have something to prove if we happen to play that team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stricknine Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Rams will send Dan a Christmas Card next year. :doh: Hilarious. With their Oline and defense...Williams and Saunders are gonna have alot of work ahead of them. If the Rams make the Super Bowl next year, Williams and Saunders should be name greatest coordinators of all time. Of course alot of people on here somehow they think they already are. Whoops....quoted wrong guy. I meant to quote the Rams are SuperBowl favorite next year post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stwasm Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Wouldn't it be symbolic if they both ended up in St. Louis, came back to Washington in the fall and the Rams kicked our collective you-know-whats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 rams automatically become SB favorites Not SB favorites, but defintely playoff contenders in the weak NFC. That will be a scary offense with a veteran QB in Bulger running it, along with his weapons in Holt, Bruce, Bennet, McMichael, and Jackson. And if Gregg becomes the defensive coordinator there, that team's defensive unit will improve. And we get to play them next year. How thrilling ... :doh: Wouldn't it be symbolic if they both ended up in St. Louis, came back to Washington in the fall and the Rams kicked our collective you-know-whats? Coaches and players Danny has scorned always seem to get their revenge against us in some way. Norv and Marty in 2005 did it. Brad Johnson has done it multiple times. Don't be surprised if this is the case with Williams and Saunders ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Al and Gregg end up in St Louis then that team instantly becomes much better and that offense could be special. They were missing Pace who may not be back and they need help on the offensive line but they have plenty of talent also for Al to work with. Put it this way. I think the Rams will be in infiintely better shape than the Redskins next season if Al and Gregg take the jobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnyderMustGo Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Both are highly in demand. As opposed to the 2 guys we replaced them with were not in demand at all. We are the only teams in the league who were interested in either Blache or Zorn for coordinator positions. But we take them and release two guys that other teams drool for. So what is more likely: 1. our front office is making rational and informed decisions by taking 2 guys no one else has an interest in and is somehow smarter than the other 31 teams; or 2. the other teams are smarter than we are and the interest in Saunders and Williams is an indication they are superior coaches.

Can anyone say Sultan McCullough? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: One thing to consider strongly is that Al will now have one of the best QB's in the game running his offense. A very good veteran QB with equally good veteran WR's and a power running back in Jackson. All of this at his disposal without Joe Gibbs interfering. Yeah I think you can make a strong argument for the Rams making huge strides next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Saunder's rep will be fine when he goes to the Rams - with that QB, those WR's and Jackson - Al should have that offense humming... Agreed. Even before St. Louis appeared to be the destination, I remarked that I expect Al Saunders to be posting Top 5 Offenses again long before the Redskins crack a Top 20 offense. Al was always being sabotaged indirectly by Gibbs, as much as I love Coach Joe. I can't enumerate how many times Al called a great 1st half, only to have Joe obviously take the reigns and stall it out in the second half. I was so excited to see year 3 of this offense with Saunders 100% in control. It's too bad, as I completely expect major sputtering during the inception year(s) of the Zorn era.

jnhay Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Haha...weren't there a few people who said there's a reason no teams have been talking to Saunders and Williams, insinuating that no one wanted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG4Life Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I have much respect and admiration for Joe Gibbs......however......this is NOT behavior that is condusive to the "continuity" and "chemistry" this team talked about so much.Players HAD to see the two factions. I hope everyone on the coaching staff this year can play nice. Playing "nice" is fine. Playing to win is even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree in kind Stormy... Al was the only coach I really wanted Dan to keep for the reasons you alluded to... I'm not saying Zorn is garbage, and I do actually think the guy will be okay, but Al should have been retained for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackson missing most the season and Bulger getting banged up early. Regardless of who their coordinators were they were going to do better this upcoming season. I don't think the addition of Al and/or Gregg will make them instant contenders. They still don't have the players on the defensive side of the ball and they also need to address their O-line.

SearchHorizon Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Gregg Williams probably will not be at St. Louis, at least based on St. Louis newspaper. It is said that St. Louis is looking for a DB coach, and thus, GW is a probably overqualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
