Re: Michael Vouches for Abundant Talent; How About You?

Like it's been said before, JLC makes some good points but he really seems to enjoy kicking the Redskins when they are down. I guess I had never done a full roster analysis like he did here but when you look at it, we are lacking in a lot of areas.

He overstated in some instances (putting Portis 4th in the division?, comparing ARE to Sincorce Moss?, expressing concern about Landry's development in his 2nd year when he's playing out of position, saying Cerrato drafted a punter 'high') but pointed out some flaws across the board.

I'm not saying that coaching is the complete problem, nor advocating a change but I think great coaches adjust to their players strengths and we've had some very stubborn coaches (Gibbs in general, Grilliams with Lavar, Blache not sending his DL upfield after the QB, Zorn not embracing JC more in the shotgun) that have not allowed our talent to be maximized. It's not always about the best talent (see Cowboys the past 2 years, Patriots in the SB, Ravens in '00) but getting the most out of it.

I'm not dead but this team is dead to me...but now that McCloughan is here they may have new life!

Jay Gruden = Zorny McSpurrier
