Good post, Gmanc. I agree here. Clements isn't gonna fix it, and it feels like another quick fix, big splash move. We need D-line help, and we need to target guys like Marcus Washington--on the rise, but not there yet, etc. Of course, everyone is looking for those guys, but when we did that, it worked.

And we need to re-sign guys, not just to keep continuity, but to show the players we're for real when we say "core redskin." I think the loss of AP, Smoot, and Clark hurt the D and shook their faith in this "core player" idea. That didn't happen on the offensive side of the ball--wonder if Williams and co made those decisions, and Gibbs stayed out of the way there? Is there anyone we miss on offense? (More and more, I am growing skeptical of Williams--maybe this is just an easy way to avoid knocking on St. Joe, but whatever...)
