Midseason Report Card

[CrazyCanuck]

ESPN came out with their NFL midseason report cards. Lucky us - Pastabelly wrote ours:

"Kudos to Dan Snyder for hiring a former head coach to help turn things around. Uh, no, we're not talking about Joe Gibbs, but of Gregg Williams. The onetime Buffalo Bills coach has done a masterful job as defensive coordinator and Williams has the Redskins unit statistically at the top of the rankings. Playing without star linebacker Lavar Arrington, and with a lot of onetime spare parts like middle linebacker Antonio Pierce, tackle Joe Salave'a and end Ron Warner making big contributions, the defense has been terrific throughout the first half of the campaign. On the flip side, Gibbs' offense has been spasmodic at best, more often chaotic, with everyone but the head coach realizing that quarterback Mark Brunnell is used up. Gibbs' weekly effort to defend Brunell, and refusal to turn the job over to Patrick Ramsey, is inexplicable. The 'Skins have yet to score more than 18 points in a game. Grade: D - Len Pasquarelli"
