An expansion team. Yeah, that is a great idea...

Yeah, the irony is people want to make all these widespread wholesale changes yet at the same time complain that the organization has no stability and patience

GW isn't missing assignments, tackles or blowing coverage as far as I've seen. Anyone who thinks GW should go just isn't paying attention and trying to place blame somewhere. As far as playing Rocky, we don't see practice and neither does the media. If he were a Derrick Brooks type guy, don't you think he'd be playing now? Do you really think the coaches would sit the player because they DON't want to win? "Yeah...we have the 2nd coming of LT but we're gonna keep him down". Come on. Things are much clearer with your head out of your ass.

Wow, what happened to all the people who wanted Gregg Williams as a successor to Joe Gibbs? Gregg Williams, along with many of defensive starters are having a bad year. I'm certain they will rebound. I think Gregg Williams is a very competitive person, he will make necessary changes to his defensive scheme so he can dominate once again.

You all may be right as far as it being premature to think about letting GW go, but I think that the issues raised by Jason LaCanfora are indicative of real problems at the coaching level on defense. Hopefully, it's not as bad as his reporting suggests, and things will rectify themselves.

Keep GW, fire those sorry ass players! Last time I checked, GW does not tackle or cover!

RobH4413 · 11-20-2006, 11:42 PM

The defense and GW have been dissapointments this year.

If ever the word "fluke" we're to be used, I think this year is the best context. One bad season, out of many, many elite ones.

Redskin · 11-20-2006, 11:45 PM

While were at it why dont we get rid of the whole coaching staff, the team, and dan snider becuase hell no one really know who to blame so i guess it lies on all their shoulders

Exactly, check out that sports illustrated article saying gibbs should step down and Adam Archuleta is prime example of the need for stability

One bad season shouldn't mean we get rid of him. The guy has had sucessful defense every where he has been. I think we have vastly over rated our talent and may be a little over confident in the ability of the scheme to make average players great. With a little talent infusion I think our D is big time changed. I certainly am willing to give him another season to right the ship.

railcon56 · 11-21-2006, 01:39 AM

He stays as D coordinator but the next head coach??? NOOOOOOOOOOO

fja711 · 11-21-2006, 02:25 AM

Williams shouldn't be fired. You need players that can tackle. Marshall is not Pierce and Holdman is not Arrington Archuletta is not Clark, Rogers plays too soft and is nowhere near the shut down corner. You need to make Carter a linebacker get a good defensive end. Let's see what McIntosh and Posey can do.

I think that Joe Gibbs is going to ask Williams to leave after the season. There isn't any way we can go forward with him at the helm. The players don't seem to respond to him, he has made some very poor personnel decisions, his fairness is in question, and the field tactics he uses may no longer be adequate.

This is such a stupid post. GW is not the problem and anyone with 1/2 a football IQ knows this. The players are not getting the job done.

Williams will be the fall guy for all the stupid player acquisitions, mishandled training camp, and bungled season. He is partly to blame but the true blame lies with the man at the helm, Joe Gibbs.

chris36 · 11-21-2006, 08:21 AM

I dont think Gibbs will make anyone his scape goat. I think the bad player aquisitions are GW's fault. Carter and Archuletta were his hand picked guys. Those were the mistakes, made in free agency..

onlydarksets · 11-21-2006, 09:12 AM

Fine - yank his quasi-GM privileges, but GW has shown time and again that he can put a D on the field. Is it the D's fault they were on the field for 30 out 45 minutes to start the game on Sunday? There is far too much blame to go around to starting picking out GW.
