I'd take Alex Gibbs over Joe Bugel, but that's for another thread all together. Either way we couldn't do worse than the O-line coach we had last year! Samuels said he tryed to change his blocking technique.

Monks - I also enjoy seeing all the points about the Redskins. I think part of it is I have a lot of contact with people that aren't Redskins fans through work, etc. I've also gone out of my way to find fans (some I had to use other teams forums) to talk to on a consistant basis about their view of the Redskins, and the inside info on their team. I've learned a lot from what others seem to think about the 'skins. Not a single non-skins fan has been nearly as optimistic about our season as you see here.

Though I think we could go to the playoffs this year with a slight tweak on the offense, I could also see us doing even worse (but I don't think it will happen.)
O line upgrade, D line slightly upgraded, LBs prolly a wash losing Pierce but gaining Arrington, secondary was a loss, WR a loss, TE same, RB same, QB we got better. It all depends on how things pan out.

What this team needs is a quiet off season. Just keep the team together, let the chemistry build. We need continuity. We need to keep a coach in here for a few years, and we need to build the team back up to what we all know it's capable of. From a talent standpoint we're rolling in it -- from a team-play standpoint.. well, our defense looks to have bought into a system that's team first. Hopefully the offense will follow suit.
