Most likely to be back with the team next year?

Then what do you propose happened with this year's unit? It's basically the same as it was in 2005 and almost the same as in 2004.

offenses have figured out the cover 2. We lost some defensive talent and replaced it with less talented players. The players no longer buy into the GW scheme. Our D-line keeps getting older. Not a good situation....I hope GW can throw his ego aside and let someone else make personnel decisions for him and switch up his scheme a bit.

In today's NFL 3-4 seasons is an eternity.

Williams turned this D around pretty quick when he got here, I believe he can get them turned around again.

Matty - I think Williams will get it turned around as well - the one thing I am worried about is the Post article reports today that Jerry Gray may be leaving to become the Defensive coordinator at I believe the Univ. Of Minnesota - so with that I would assume that Steve Jackson will become coach of the entire secondary - this is a bad thing in my opinion and if it takes the Skins firing Jackson and giving complete control of the secondary to Gray to keep him I think they should do this. I just don't know how close Jackson and Greg Williams are.

I think he did realize that and began to change the scheme some towards the end of the season. He ran more man-to-man and it worked great. Before Springs went out, Rogers and him were covering people great man-to-man.

As far as losing talent, who did we really lose? Ryan Clark is the only one I wish we had back. If I could have predicted all the injuries, I would have wanted him back as well. That's about it though.

Well we pretty much ignored the ROLB spot since lavar was benched. Last year teams began to realize that you can run left on us whenever you like. Now that Holdman isnt improving and not having Pierce has killed us as well so we no longer can stop the run, and that is a recipe for disaster. Lamar Marshal is too small to stop the run, and our blitzes don't work anymore cause team's are ready for them. In the NFL, you have to constantly improve and be innovative, our defense didnt have that edge this year.

Hey everyone, first time poster here. Hope all had some good holidays and time off.

What I'd love to see is what some have suggested. Move Washington to the middle, put Rocky and Lemar on the sides so that Lemar can play his natural position.

That's what I'm saying. I think Marcus in the middle and Springs at FS could really help this team

Yup, just working with what you've got. You have no one learning a new system, just proven players possibly playing in a better position better suited to their talents.

So why didn't they try that this year? People keep saying that Rocky didn't play much because Williams really puts the rookies in very sparingly -- but he didn't do that with Golston.

I have a hard time believing that Lemar Marshall is anything more than a flash in the pan. He, like so many of the '05 team over-achieved, and I'd have some serious reservations about depending on him in '07.
