Greg Williams Must Be Licking His Chops

Henson didn't prove anything in college, and still hasn't in the pros.

Blitzing IS the answer to our defensive woes. We need to create pressure on the QB and our line can't create that. Im not saying bring the house every time, but a hell of a lot more often than we did last year. We have STRONG DB's. They can handle man on man. Keep Barrow on the back and crush with LaVar and Washington.

Well be a lot better aginst teh run this year to. Barrow is a one man run stopper. Ask any Giants fan what they think about him and its nothing but praise about his athleticism and ability to always be on teh play.

Barrow has pumped up arringtons level of play as well, which is a great thing.

i'm buzzed about marcus washington too (especially with all the reports saying he's gonna blow up this year).

I think you're right on target with that assessment. Don't expect to see much blitzing in this first preseason game, and maybe not much throughout the rest of the preseason, as Williams stated he wants to see what the young players can do in a vanilla defense. But Williams will most certainly rely heavily on the blitz, at least in the early going of the regular season, and will continue to do so unless it proves to be counterproductive. His defense is designed to generate constant pressure with the blitz, while placing a premium on man coverage skills behind the blitz. He's made no secret that will be the case, and that the strategy will be executed from a variety of packages and looks to disguise the angle of the blitz and the coverage.

I think we will see very little offensive, or defensive game planning in the pre-season, Gibb's usually evaluates player's, not victories, in the pre-season, we will get a look at what player's can do individually, but the team concept will be very bland as far as game plan goes, until the games count, Gibb's will hide as much as possible to keep team's guessing early on.

like i said in another post, unless we get a nice surprise in our Dline, we're gonna be spending all our time on defense hoping either Marcus or LaVar gets there in time, or hope Sean Taylor saves our bacon if they don't. our corners are good, but not as good as last year (Springs: STAY HEALTHY), and aging Mike Barrow is gonna have to bring his A game spying the Tight End AND Running Back. it's all a little nervous.

i hate to say it (again), but i hope getting Brunell instead of an elite pass rusher on our Dline doesn't become The Great One Joe Gibbs' first mistake.

A thought concerning the pass rush from the D-line... If we start out blitzing Lavar and Washington a lot like Williams seems to be planning to do, couldn't that open things up for the linemen so we could see them actually get more pressure/sacks than expected, since the offense would have to account for the LB's?
