I like what Daseal had to say.

I'll say this from the jump, I've been more critical of Gregg Williams more than any single failure of our defense from '06. Yes, injuries played a role, and personnel too, but I think Williams did a poor job of adjusting and 'hiding' some of those deficiencies. I also lay the Dale Lindsey debacle at his feet. If the guys who are playing linebacker aren't stepping up, and you have young fresh talent waiting in the wings, at the very least, give them the opportunity to fail. Don't just stand pat with the worst defense in the NFL, no turnovers, no pass rush to speak of. Shake things up. We saw no significant playing time from Rocky until the Fat Lady had already sang.

As far as Rogers as goes, I think the critism is certainly warranted there. But to call him a total bust after two years is a bit premature I think. He was often in position, he just couldn't close the deal. I think that's more mental than than anything else. Personally, I think he'll have a chip on his shoulder this year.

All eyes will be on the Skins' secondary with three number one picks. The media will beat that horse to death.
