Gibbs defends Heyer

During this pre-season they've brought in three recievers and a Linebacker. Either they are confident in the line, or they are in full denial. We need to

1. Get Samuels back, and

2. Start running the ball the way we did last November/December.

I just won't accept the idea that Dockery was the keystone of that success.

Well I think Portis' return will not only help our running game but our pass protection as well.

Portis is a much, much better blocker than Betts. Betts is like a turnstile when he stays back to block on passing downs

I think JLC is an idiot, for his article bashing Gibbs. I was shocked that he made such a big deal about Heyer's play. It was one play. Thats what the defense gets paid to do. I think the fact that Heyer is playing, is the best thing that has happened to the Redskins in a long time. We are deep at tackle. We alreaedy had one of the best offensive lines in the NFL and now we have the best tackle depth in the NFL. Wade is not playing gaurd. We will pick up a gaurd after the second round of cuts, to back up Puccillo. I still cant believe that JLC was so critical of Heyer, it was one play, that went wrong. I have seen it many times from Samuels and many others. I am glad Gibbs stood up to this stupidity.

JLC was doing his job which is to report information. He got quotes from another NFL executive. What was said in the article was very good information. It looked like Heyer and Puccillo were both to blame on the hit on JC.

After two games the o-line does not look very good. And the bottom line is we almost lost our qb for the year. When you have a journeymen at left guard, and a rookie FA at left tackle, and they are protecting JC's blindside, and that is where he is getting hit from, you are going to hear about it in the media. If you can't take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.

If you ask me, Joe Gibbs looks like the idiot worrying about what the media says. Who cares? I'd hate to see it if Gibbs coached in New York. He'd be doing 2 hour pressers everyday defending his players.

I don't think Gibbs looked like an idiot. I think he was standing up for his guys and he was also putting the press in it's place. La Canfora doesn't even get to watch practice, except for stretching. He's such an insider that he has to go to other teams to find sources. I like the fact that he took on the press in this case. It could lead to greater team unity. Gibbs is trying to get his team ready to play. Part of that is psychological. If he can use this as a tool to fire people up, then I say well done.
