Greg vs. Gregg

[J. Spanky]

We’ve already taken the time to give it up to greg blache in a previous thread. After watching the jaguars/Bengals game yesterday, I think it is time to give yet another pat on the back to Dinny Snerrato for another of several excellent moves this offseason: replacing gregg williams with greg blache.

After much speculation about how our D would perform without ol’ grilliams on the sideline, can there be any doubt now who the superior coordinator is? Our defensive game plans and play calls have been an integral part of our 6-2 start while the jaguar’s defense continues to languish in mediocrity.

This summer, it was widely accepted (even on this very site) that the jags had a superior defensive talent base to ours; that gregg would thrive there and likely parlay his inevitable success into either a lucrative contract extension in Jacksonville or a head coaching job elsewhere. thus far, anything resembling this notion has failed to materialize. Meanwhile, coach blache’s efforts, while continuing to go largely unrecognized nationally (hopefully that will change tonight!), have been stellar.

The redskins brass not only sought to retain coach blache’s services, but were so certain he was the right man for the job, they did what was necessary ($$$ presumably) to convince him not retire which he, apparently, was ready and willing to do.

Yes, the season is still young and anything can still happen. But it is not too early to give credit where it is due.

Thoughts?
