[quote=SmootSmack;1046328]I'm not too sure, to be honest. I can't recall what their relationship was like[/quote]

For some reason I remember it seemed unlikely Saunders would be around if GW got the HC gig. Who knows.

[quote=The Goat;1046305]The Rogers drop in 2005 was unforgettable because it was an easy pick six. He dropped an INT in '07 too though I swear.[/quote]He dropped another pick-six in 2008, early in the Pittsburgh game that we entered with a 6-2 record. Not that his drop was the reason that we finished 8-8, but it was the first of many missed opportunities the 2nd half of that season.

[quote=SmootSmack;1046311]To be clear, Vinny passed up Williams. Not Dan. Dan put complete control in the hands of Cerrato. Cerrato felt threatened by a big personality like Williams-who, granted, probably shouldn't have asked to be named GM/EVP too-and sent him on his way.[/quote]I thought there was a clause in William's contract, that he got a bonus if he wasn't offered the HC job to succeed Gibbs. Any truth to that? And was Williams asking for more power than the contract clause called for, if the contract was that way?

Wow! Had no idea Williams wanted GM/EVP. And I agree he didn't deserve it.

I never heard from anyone I trust that that was true. As far as the title, I don't fault Williams for asking for it. But I think even without that request, Vinny was just too intimidated by him to have him around

[QUOTE=SouperMeister;1046905]Foles plays behind one of the best O-lines. He would be terrible behind this line.[/QUOTE]

And also has a boatload of help around him, the best all around RB and good WRs

I would still take him as HC. Good fit in Washingtion. We need some gdamn swagger.
