i'm disappointed in 'Swoop' Snyder for not getting Ogun nor Douglas here. i don't think the draft is a safe place to get DEs..
I would have liked to have seen Ogun in a Redskin uniform too, but do we have the cap space for that?
As far as the draft goes, it's still a crap shoot. Julius Peppers was a bullseye, but ask the Packers about Jamal Reynolds...

Hmm, I love and hate what our coaching staff is doing. Its great that everything is a secret, and stuff. But that secret is only going to be kept safe until week one, then everyone sees what we are going to do. Not everyplay or formation, but the general idea. Meanwhile, we arent giving our starters time to gel and work together, all for one game to be a secret. Would it matter if the other team say our starters ont eh field at the same time? I cant imagine it would be, every other team does it. Its not like we have been playing together for years and know how to wokr together and everyone tendoncies. I hope they are practicing with the first unit more than they have led on, in practices I mean.

Like Gibbs, Williams is also playing his cards close to the vest, I guess many of us, myself included, didn't realize just how close it was.
I sure hope that's the case. I guess will find out soon enough! I like the + spin that this put's on the Rams game!

In that case, Ade Jimoh did better than any other Redskin last week.
Certainly secured a roster spot in my opinion!
More reactions to the Skins pass D getting shredded by the Rams:
"That's just BS if you really want to know. Excuse my French," Smoot said, adding that the Redskins played only a basic defense without any of the wrinkles that will be employed during the regular season. "We were real vanilla while they were real uptight about the butt whipping they had taken the week before that and didn't put up a point. They were bringing out their midseason plays. I can't wait to see them in the playoffs."

It will be interesting to see the effects of the TC methods compared the last two years where essentially we shot our load in preseason and stugled to adapt after week three.
Williams always tends to put out a kiss ass D or did with the Bills and unlike Lewis is not looking to leave town for the first HC post out there.

Marvin Lewis was more than deserving of a head coaching job and I can't blame him for it. Greg Williams went through a rough stint at Buffalo, and get's paid more than most head coaches. He'll take over for Gibbs when he retires.

I am irked that Williams is calling Bowen his starting safety. I am not sure if I am missing something, but Williams called out Sean Taylor in the media early this preseason and said Sean needed to "Earn" his starting position. I guess the same rules do not apply to Bowen. I am not sure how Bowen has earned his starting position. Every game I have seen him play, he has looked average to terrible. I guess he gets his starting position because of his veteran status and that he has a fairly big contract. He must really look good in practice, because his level of play in the real games is lacking. I can not remember a single outstanding play Bowen hs made this preseason or last year for that matter.
