Coaching Reveals Talent

Take a good look at what a good coach can do for player's, Greg William's has come in and tranformed carrer's over night, case and point, Antonio Pierce, a lot of us have been high on the guy, and couldn't figure out why he could't play his way into the lineup, I will make a prediction, Pierce will be the leader of the #1 defense in the league at year's end. How bout Lott? Iffy is gone, and Lott is starting and doing a very good job so far, Bowen had a monster game, and I know some of you wanted him OUT OF HERE, before yesterday's game, [ wait that might have been me :rofl: ] Our D-line was the biggest question mark we had, and guess what, they probably played the best game of any of our units, there was no where to run. Coaching has as much to do with a player's production, as does his talent.

I've got a really good feeling about Pierce as well. he's been here for a few years and his ability to pick up new schemes has really shown his football intellect. I know we brought Barrow here as a proven veteran, but I think Pierce will be our future D quarterback (if not this year, then next year).

I never liked Pierce but he has really started to show me something. I do think he will eventually start for us but I also believe that when Barrow is healthy he will be right back in the starting line up. Similar to the Brunell/Ramsey situation if Brunell was to go down as soon as the veteran leader is back they will play, but I could see both Ramsey and Pierce doing some damage in the future. Bowen is another player I did not like. I still think he will get burned but he does work good with Williams' packages.

Bowen is the kind of player Greg Williams likes though. He is certainly not the best in man-to-man coverage, that is why you have to let him either sit back and get a play on the ball, where he can make big hits happen, or blitz, using his superior speed and hitting ability to strike fear into opposing qb's.

Pierce played very well in his rookie season, he was sort of lost in the shuffle the past couple of seasons.

As for Bowen, wow, what else can I say?! The guy was a monster yesterday. I guess somebody knew what they were doing when they kept him around instead of Iffy, huh?! LOL

We're the number one defense in the league right now. I can't say anything bad about Williams or the defense. Gibbs said in his introductory press conference that defense and special teams win games. I like that philosophy and Gibbs, Williams, and the entire team deserve credit for that great defensive debut.

Being a 'Skins fan in Chicago, I couldn't see the game, although I did enjoy watching my other favorite team the 'Vikings' take the Cowboys to the cleaners. In any event, isn't Sean Taylor the starting saftey? I listened to much of the game via NFL radio on my PC. Is Sean hurt or something?

#1 defense, while New England is only above the Giants and Arizona.

I hear Sean Taylor missed a meeting.

I heard he missed it because he was sick. Not because he was just skipping it. He was just too sick to attend and the team felt there was too much discussed at the meeting for him to be able to play that first drive. The meeting was essentially about the tone they wanted to set on the first drive
