Certainly young talent is needed; however, am I the only fan wondering whether it's time for a new position coach? Absolutely no disrespect to Buges. Can't even imagine what he endured over the course of the season w/ his daughter passing away, but I wonder whether he is looking beyond football at this point (and rightfully so).
2) Shawn Springs will not be a Redskin in '09. Way too much time on the sideline, and his final showing was anything but impressive. Also, consider the cap hit.
3) Smoot... holy crap! I can't believe this is the same player I watched pick off passes left and right opposite Bailey. He's gone or there's some kind of conspiracy.
... implications of Springs/Smoot: Hall will be signed and Rogers retained. I think the rumors surrounding Rogers departure must be bogus. The guy's only real issue was the hoof-hands and he finally makes a pretty impressive INT to end the season. C'mon, we have to keep him. But we need a third corner, and here's where cutting Torrence was a mistake IMO.
4) Stan Hixon must go. Nuff said.
5) Campbell will be money next year (mark it, dude). He's started coming into his own. I loved the way he took off for yards when everybody was covered. But most importantly, Zorn has committed to developing JC into a great QB. JC will be much improved therefor, so long as we make some smart personnel/staff changes, our offense will be much improved.
Hail.

Am I detecting optimism here? We need to address the o-line , no doubt. I hate to say too much about Buges considering what he's had to work with the last couple of years but your point is well taken. Unless we pick up a decent corner as a FA, Smoot or Springs one would need to come back. A healthy Springs can add so much to this team but at his salary is it worth taking a chance on him being healthy next year? I just can't see us getting rid of Rogers. He should play very well next year if he's looking for a big contract. If he plays well, give it to him. If not, sign a FA and give him the money or just keep the FA until we draft his replacement. I'm definitely with you on Campbell Goat. There should be a marked improvement in Jason next year. The whole offense should be better and if it's not, I think we have answered some questions.
