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).

Agreed, though I'm sure Buges still has it in him. It being the ability that is.

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.

Man he was money at the beginning of the season, unfortunately, he was too much money for a sideline player.

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.

He's alright for a nickel

... 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.

We definitely need to keep Rogers, especially if Springs and/or Smoot is gone. Need to find out if Blache is dogging him and what's up with that. If you start putting D. Hall onto number 1 WR's all year long we're not gonna be nearly as happy with Hall. All CB's should have mandatory practice with Collins and/or Colt, more than last year where it was only mentioned during one week.

4) Stan Hixon must go. Nuff said.

Someone's gotta take the fall. Is it his fault? Maybe. Should we find out? Yep.

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.

Here's to hoping. I think that he will be, especially if Zorn lets off of the reigns a bit, especially when we have some sort of momentum going. Campbell looked good when he was pretty much running his 2 min drills year before last, if we were getting past the markers at least.
