I don't think so. It shouldn't. Unless they were telling him conflicting things, which at this level I doubt would happen. When A.A. played in St. Louis, the team played a pretty conservative style of D. Now he comes to GW's blitz heavy schemes. When we send all those LB's, it leaves the secondary exposed. That's when A.A. would get exploited speed-wise. And he took bad angles of pursuit in run support... I just don't think the guy is that good.

According to the Tom Friend article, that is exactly what was happening.

Agreed. How on earth can that go on in the NFL, especially with coaches who have worked together for multiple seasons? Could this be a microcosm of what's wrong with the defense? We've got so many coaches/coordinators, maybe signals are being crossed? Maybe that's why we just hired a new defense quality control coach? I'm pretty bothered by this. You make a guy the richest to ever play his position and he isn't even being coached consistently?? Anyone have the link to that Tom Friend article?

(I still think Archuletta isn't fast enough. Today's game is much more about speed than it was back in Mark Murphy's day)

Aint no thinkin about it. AA is a slow piece. Mark Brunell could probably outrun his goofy looking ass. Now, get me a Gatorade Arch.....

AA is experiencing the same uniqueness with the Redskins that Travis Knight did with the Lakers, and Darius Songaila is with the Wizards.

I loved hearing Joe speak out. Not sure what Dockery is thinking? Totally changed my veiw of him. If he wants the Pro Bowl money then make it first!!

Worried about Shawn Springs also. He may be gone, I liked him.

I knew we would not get rid of AA. Who knows maybe he will have a big year for us and make some sacks and force turnovers??

Looks like our # 1 priority is our front 7 on defense. If we can't create pressure without the D line we are in trouble. That seems to be what the coaches are thinking.......

The X Factor is Jason Campbell, I'm confident he can put up 20 tds and 10 picks (something like that). Maybe better?!!! With our running attack all we need is a top 20 Defense and we're in the Playoffs. If we're better on Defense we're a FORCE!!!

Total comeback year for Skins! I LOVE THAT GIBBS STUCK OUT LAST YEAR WHICH WAS LIKE A ROOT CANAL.
