I know it might be hard to believe, but he just might pan out if we give him more than a few games to show his stuff.

Williams tends to know what he's doing when it comes to picking his players. The benefit of the doubt has to go his way.

Archuleta was a bad aquisition. The reason the Rams let him go, "HE CANNOT COVER". Williams may have thought that he could hide him in the scheme, but offensive coordinators will exploit his weakness. I think the best thing that can happen to the Redskins is to get Shawn Springs back on the field. Having Springs will improve the entire coverage. Rogers is a good corner, he just isn't a #1 at this point in his career. Rumpf has done a decent job, he would be even better at nickel.

You bring up a good point that many seem to forget - this is Gregg Williams' defense!

Whether it's AA or Carter or letting Clark go it all falls on Williams' shoulders at the end of the day. I highly doubt Mr. Snyder forced these guys onto Williams, it was probably the exact opposite. Danny probably offered to add a few guys to help out the D and these are the guys that Williams thought would make the biggest improvement.

Whether he's right or wrong remains to be seen in the long run, but let's put the blame (or credit) where it belongs.

when williams got him, prioleau wasn't on IR. AA would have been used like matt bowen, with a guy like prioleau (or ryan clark) spelling him depending on the situation. Still too much money, but it wouldn't have seemed soo bad that way.

I agree. People dont realize just how damaging that was to lose him, and on the VERY 1st play of the year too. He also brought corner depth as well.

If having Pierce is so great why are the Giants are ranked 27th in the league this year in total defense, whereas the Redskins (w/o Pierce) are ranked 15th. He's a very good LB but he's starting to look more like just another product of GW's system since Marshal is putting up similiar stats that Pierce did in 2004 through the first three games.

So Marshall isn't a product of the system? Two guys who aren't products of the system are Carter and Archuletta. Both were bad before they came here and they remain bad.

I didn't say that Marshall wasn't a product of GW's system.
