Califan007 The Constipated Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Relevant parts: " Buck-Buck-Brawckkkkkkk Trailing 10-3, the Redskins faced fourth-and-2 on the Philadelphia Nesharim 46 near the end of the third quarter. In trotted the punting unit. Better to try and fail -- which sends players the message their coach is challenging them to win -- than wimp out with a fraidy-cat punt on a short-yardage play in opposition territory. And yes, Washington has a good defense, but a defense can't hold a deficit, if you catch my drift. At some point, the offense must take a lead for the defense to hold! Boom went the punt, and Philadelphia needed just three snaps to pass the point where the ball would have been had the Redskins gone for it and failed. Emboldened by the Skins' mincing fraidy-cat punt, the Eagles drove the length of the field for a touchdown that made it 17-7 and provided their winning margin. This wimp-out an exception? Reader Vincent Nordhaus of Middlesex, N.J., notes that in the first quarter, game scoreless, Washington punted on fourth-and-6 from the Eagles 35. Philadelphia needed just two plays to pass the point where the ball would have been had the 'Skins gone for it and failed. You're 4-8, what do you have to lose? And now you are 4-9. Tastefully Named Gregg Williams Watch Who are Ryan Boschetti, Ryan Clark, Demetric Evans, Lemar Marshall, Antonio Pierce and Ron Warner? All undrafted free agents or waiver-wire acquisitions who have started games this year for the defense of the Washington Redskins, currently ranked second in the NFL. The high defensive ranking of the Skins is remarkable owing to the number of who-dats who have seen significant playing time; to the fact that the Washington offense is cover-your-eyes awful, meaning the defense constantly trots back onto the field; and that the team's two defensive stars from 2003 (Champ Bailey, traded and LaVar Arrington, injured) have played no role. Ye gods, the tastefully named Gregg Williams can coach a defense. Honestly now, how many Redskins defensive starters can you name without looking?

kappaluvacee Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 He is wrong in so many aspects. First of all, the offense is poor, but they do manage to rack up time of possession so the defense is not being stuck on the field all the time like the defenses under Spurrier. This guy is a wannabe that doesn't even process his thoughts, he just blirts them out without thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usafskins Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Gregg Williams is the reason our defense has done so well, but the our FO has to get some of the credit. I know it is said many times on this board and the media on our FO failures. Why doesnt anyone acknowledge the ability of our FO to find players who fit into Gregg Williams system? I dont think Vinny has made perfect moves but you should give the big eyed guy some credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barefoot Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Easterbrook is a moron anyway. Seems like alot of CBS media people have trouble with the facts. He probably watched sportscenter and then wrote the article. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
