Why is he not a full time DE?
Last year he showed that can't consistenly play the run. To me he is a situational pass rusher at best.

I think it had to do more with poor linebacker play. I think thats why they wanted Briggs so bad.

Unfortunately, this guy makes a lot of valid points. The Redskin talent is mediocre and has been that way for the past decade. The team's philosophy of going after high priced free agents and trading away draft picks is a failed policy. Not addressing obvious weaknesses is also a big problem. I agree with him, the Skins need a General Manager.

You should differentiate between PHILOSOPHY and IMPLEMENTATION. The implementation has been terrible. The philosophy itself may not be the problem.
And don't overlook that we did draft one very key position: QB. And the development of said QB is really what will define how far this offense can go. I'm not satisfied with the receivers, which still seem week outside of inconsistent Santana Moss, but the running attack could be in the league's top 5. As far as the defense, clearly being about last in 2006 leaves us below average but considering where they were the year before, all hope is not lost.
I don't agree with the "superbowl or bust" point of view. The truth is the superbowl winners are teams that are competitive at the top of the league every year. The last couple winners weren't even in their respective "best" year. But if you are going to make a list of goals, include sweeping the Cowboys.

I don't think Andre Carter would start for very many teams. He is not a full time 4-3 DE. While he may have gotten a little pass rush pressure, he sure stinks against the run.
that retarded

I'm just a little surprised that some on here are not excited about JC coming up on his 3rd year. I sure am & I certainly don't agree w/the assertion that he's below avg. If anything his on the field play earned him an "avg." rank at least. His potential is way above avg. & I think we'll see that this year.

i am very excited as i am every year but that excitment is usually followed by dissapointment in november except for in 1999 and 2005
