2007 Redskins Coaching Staff

Couldn't agree more here.

I definitely think he was a good signing, but I don't think he's a superstar. One thing that makes him such a great signing is that he adds an element to our defense that we desperately need; turnovers.

When Smoot was here,, he was an interception machine. I see him leading the team in interceptions once again, if only because everyone else will drop all the other opportunities.

But back to the coaching staff.

I really expect our defense to pull a 180. GW is the kind of coach that doesn't feel good about having a bad season. He's got a chip on his shoulder now, and drafted another phenomenal athlete at a very important position in his system.

The blitzes will come back. The dreaded 3rd and 17 will be a turnover, and not a first down. I'm very optimistic about the defense.

The offense scares me. Hopefully we found our diamond in the rough with the new guy Heyer from Maryland, although that's probably a stretch. I'm really nervous about the line, and if we lose anyone, it could mean all of those weapons would be useless.


You know as far as depth along the line, I really don't think we're all that much behind the norm in the NFL. What I mean is, what team really has a bench full of starting material linemen? If everyone had great back-ups, wouldn't some of them be starting elsewhere?

Although you never want to see your main guys go down, you just have to roll with it and expect guys to earn their keeps when called upon. Wade did it last year, and someone else will have to this year if called upon.

There are no bad soldiers only bad officers.

Unless of course you pay half of the soldiers a ten million dollar signing bonus.

I think the coaches seem to have a good feel for the team this year and we could see a huge improvement, but make no mistake the Redskins of last year were the highest paid team in league history and therefore the biggest bunch of underachieving bums in the NFL. Period. Well we did have too many injuries to key players so I shouldn't be so harsh.

You know, I buy the injuries story up to a point. I look at a team like Green Bay last year, they got crushed by injuries and still almost backed into the playoffs. Same with the Pats.

I think Minnesota just tried to use him the wrong way, which is in zone. I hate to say this, but it's like how we tried to use Adam Achuleta in coverage. It just doesn't fit. You'll see, Smoot will play a lot and well this year.
i think it was last year when the vikings tried to have smoot cover steve smith one on one. smith ended up with a monster game, and smoot ended up on the bench

GB & NE utilize the Draft almost exclusively.

Our coaching staff is among the best in the NFL. Great coaching does not overcome critical injuries, however, (CP, SM), and mediocre FA signings, (AA).

Until our team starts winning games, no way you can say are staff are among the best in the league. To me winning is the ultimate measurement of how good your staff is.

As far as injuries go, let's face it, they are a reality not an excuse. The Eagles still made it to the playoffs without their star quarterback.

Look at the teams that made the playoffs last year, I'll bet the majority of them lost a few starters for the year by the time the playoffs rolled around. The Bears for instance, lost two of their top guys on defense last year.

if we cant get a pass rush i dont care how good our secondary is. we still will get burned.

we could overcome injuries if we had some depth. That what the draft for, but unfortually we have neglected the draft since and before gibbs came back.
