Freeney is the last thing that we need.

One, he is having a terrible year.
Two, and most importantly he is built for a dome, not the NFC East.

We don't need another undersized D-lineman. Sign two solid d-linemen instead of the big splash.

This article has the ring of truth. It is sterling journalism if you ask me. The morale is most likely beyond repair. This is not to say that Williams isn't capable of being a good coach. It is to say that his arrogance has been his downfall, and if we want to move forward as a team, Williams has to go.I said a week ago that we either have to give this unit another shot with only very minor tweaking, or we have to tear it down and start from scratch.

And if the morale of the defense is at the state this article makes it out to be, I think that we need to tear this thing down and start from scratch. After all, the level of production we are getting from them could be gotten from a team full of practice squad guys, so what is there to lose.

It's quite fortunate that we will have the offense to carry us over the next few seasons as the D tries to regain respectability. If we have to tear it down, it could take awhile to rebuild.

Great find on the article, MHeisig.

grim, your post are usually anti whatever i am thinking, but this post is right on the money. first, freeney has about 2 sacks fo the entire season. we already have enough defensive linemen that cant get to the quarterback. and his size alone should scare any team that plays on grass. freeney is built for speed, which = turf. and 2, we have enough guys getting pushed around in the run game. just say no to freeney

arrogance breeds ignorance and if thats the case maybe its time for GW to go.

news stations are starting to report on this. they said that the 'speech' by joe gibbs on monday may have been to clear this up. also they said that snyder and front office knows all about it and are ready to make changes as needed.

the thng that pisses me off more than anything is the fact that they screwed up sean taylor.

GW thas got to go asap

Who are we talking about here? Smoot and Pierce left for more money, nothing to do with GW. Lavar is the only one I can think of that didn't get along. Don't say Clark and Harris, they were castoffs, they didn't ask to leave. While this story is interesting we can't assume it's true or that it is Springs. So am I missing somebody?

Yes, they left for more money, but both were quoted at the time that they would have stayed with us, if the money was equal. The other offers were only about 1 to 2 million more per season, and we could have kept them. GW has too much say on personnel matters. We need a competent GM and we need Gibbs to take back control. This article makes me sick. It also explains the problems that AA, Carter, and the secondary as a whole have had this season. There has to be a reason that the defense dropped so far this year, and it's not just injuries. The problems with the coaches and players in the secondary are inexcusable and should have been rectified, like everything else this season, early on. Too many chiefs is absolutely right!

You have to believe that it's on the coaches when a defense drops all the way down to last in the league when they have most of the same players. The Patriots have had to endure worse problems than what we have and succeeded.

This article helps to explain, but the root of the problem has to be kind of obvious.

With that said, Greg Williams has always fielded a strong defense, and you can bet that this year will be an anomoly. As for the rest of this year, expect him to put his players in positions to test them as he evaluates his guys for next year. Plan on him being back.

While I agree we don't need Freeney. Let's not underestimate what a DE that commands double/tripple teams ALL YEAR can do for the rest of the defense.

This is the way defense should be played. Good front four pressure and everybody starts to look better. To bad it could not have come two weeks ago. Good job GW and defense.
