is this a Gibbs diss?? does it even apply?

i can't really tell...

think the Great One does this alot? who does it apply to now: Iffy? Rock? Ramsey?

personally i think Gibbs weighs alot more on player's intangibles (you know what i mean!) than any other coach. things like work ethic, dedication, intelligence etc. i'm not sure what flashy label or contract Mark Rypien ever had....

then again, he really wanted Brunell, and we all know Ramsey's ethic and dedication....

I dont really know what he was getting at there, but whatever.

The guys story is from his prespective, only Gibbs knows why the WR didn't make the Redskins roster (Or to my knowledge anyone elses).

Part of Joe's job is to make the tough decisions on roster choices. This guy sounds like a borderline prospect... if it weren't for him, some other borderline prospect would have been cut. This guy just happened to be friends with the author.

...and Walt B. has been tearing it up in the NFL ever since......?????
That is the most pointless story I have ever heard. If a guy has the talent to make it in the NFL, he will get a chance somewhere. There 32 teams, some in great need of a Wide receivers. There is also NFL Europe. Canadian League.....so on and so on.
Walt B. must have been good, but not good enough.
Don't blame the coaches or other players (QB in this case) for lack of NFL career.

He's just bitching cuz his teammate didn't make the roster.

it's walts fault he didnt make the nfl.

what moron thinks to himself, "hey i need to make a team, washington looks good. i think i'm going to beat out art monk or gary clark. well maybe not, but i can beat out ricky sanders and desmond howard(4th pick overall)."

I think there are so many things he DOESN'T say in the story. Was he overthrown by 6 inches or 10 yards? Did the guy dive for a ball that was just overthrown or give up on it?

The moral is that sometimes the wrong guys make the cut, but the story doesn't really support the moral.

shows me coach gibbs knows talent....who the HELL is walt b.?

Blows me away that people get paid to write stuff like that.
