Great article on Al Saunders

The Redskins' New Sheriff (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/07/29/AR2006072900339.html)

yeah i read that earlier. I think he's gonna bring some good stuff to the table this year. I think we have a 1-2 year period to reach the SuperBowl before Joe retires, G.W. might leave or the talent is replaced.

Wow. Great article--very interesting from the football business perspective, and inspiring as well. When Gibbs wants his man, he gets him. But we benefitted from other teams analysis of what they needed in a head coach. And now we've got one of the best offensive minds in football with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

I really liked this quote:

"Saunders's motor is intensifying. His playbook is 700 pages. He did not vacation following minicamp, choosing to formulate preliminary game-plan sketches through Week 4 of the regular season."

And who could argue with this? :

"Joe Gibbs has three Super Bowl rings and he asked me to run his offense? Come on. I've got the best job in America."

Man, I am getting psyhced! Can't wait to see how it all looks when the season begins.

He definitely has the work ethic that fits in perfectly with a Gibbs' led staff.
