G Williams Presser

[jbcjr14]

Did anyone else catch the GW presser over on redskins.com? The part where a question was asked about Cam Cameron and they have only shown 20% of their offense in the preseason and Williams responds..."Well, we have only shown 30% of our defense so he probably has alot going through his mind right now".

I love it, GW is a gamer and he is setting the tone. Sure hope the D comes out of the funk and brings the trunk!

In sort-of related news, did anyone else catch Part 1 of the Comcast Sports interview with Gibbs this morning?


He mainly talked about Portis and why he didn't play in the preseason but made sure everyone knows he's a VERY hard worker and practiced as hard or harder than anyone, but for legit medical reasons, he should've been held out of the games, but he's about 100% now. CP will be good to go this week.

Why do I have the feeling Portis is a hard tackle away from missing the whole season? Am I just being paranoid or do the following things mean a lot:

We now have four RB's.
Portis talked about being traded.
Portis sat out the pre-season.
The Skins are vague about what's wrong with him.
It's been widely projected that Betts will get more carries.
Betts was also protected in pre-season to a degree we would expect a starting back to be protected.

This is a GW post...lmfao. I think you are over analyzing the situation. CP is fine and so is Betts. They will be 100% along with our D come Sunday!

Didn't we have four running backs last year as well. Everyone seems to think Betts' great season last year means Portis is on his way out. First of all, Betts is no Portis as an overall player. And secondly, why can't we just be excited about having two very good/great running backs on our team and all the possibilites with that? Why does the success of one have to be at the expense of the other.

Portis is a threat to take it to the house on every single play. That has to have an effect on the players and coaches of the Skin's opponent when he is healthy.

Betts is a grinder and I love what he brings to this team but it is Portis who inspires fear.

What has made GWilliams a great coordinator who has stood the test of time is that he never runs a "vanilla" defense.

I'm happy as a pig in mud with our RB situation. Hopefully CP will be able to stay healthy and have a big comeback year for us!

We've had 4 running backs every year that Gibbs has been here.

That is also good news. I am pretty sure it was planned that way but Gibbs being the good natured man that he is didn't want anyone to think he was deceiving anyone about Portis. Who really cares as long as CP is 100% on Sunday Sept 9th at 1pm EST.

Williams pressers are always good. He does a good job of answering the questions and gives good explanations. The guy is clearly arrogant, but thats what you want from D-Coordinator. I'm sure he has the defense ready to redeem itself.

GW always gets me so fired up when he talks about our D.

[MTK]

I love listening to GW. He's a straight shooter, I like his style.

I like it. It's almost time to tee it up!

That is the very part that scares me, Williams often overthinks his defensive schemes leaving his defense out to dry. Last year the D appeared to be in need of getting back to the basics, all the blitzes are unnecessary and we don't have the right personel to call an all out blitz just because it's third down. This is why we were the worse defense (in history) on 3rd. We have a great unit this year and he (Williams) doesn't need to ruin anybodies confidence with all his complicated schemes. Let's keep it simple this year Gregg, let the players make the plays.
