2005 Point & Laugh At The taterskins Thread

[SD_Eagle5]

Hate to say it but good move by the Skins locking Williams up. I don't consider the Skins D overly talented, but he knows how to maximize their strengths and weaknesses.

Ha.

I'm not sure what the exercise in caution was.  What the hell do they mean by that?

Yeah, I saw that.  That was funny.  It's the rest of the quote that doesn't make any sense to me

Houghton and a high-school buddy, Jon Nachtsheim, 31, had been quietly nursing glasses of Miller Lite -- an exercise in caution, they said, the day after New Year's Eve -- until the game turned.

i'm assuming that meant that they were still hungover from the 4 beers they had the night before on new years.

Williams will now take over when gibbs leaves.

He did such a good job at Buffalo, you guys should be pumped.

He didn't do a bad job in Buffalo. The Skins-hating media spins it that way to make him look bad.

[qwert246]

Well some people didn't like Belichick in Cleveland, but his next go around has been pretty good.
It is possible to improve, and if he's smart he can pick up on two of Gibb's strengths.
1)  He's a good leader.  People like working for him and playing for him.  Not every boss can make people feel that way.
2)  He delegates effectively.  You can't do everything, there's just not enough time.  Gibb's lets people have accountability, as players and coaches.

Talking about his last go around in Buffalo is missing the big picture.  He is still considered one of the best defensive minds in the NFL, making a top defense with older players like Wynn and Daniels, hell Salave'a is 30.  He is being promised the HC job after Gibbs leaves.  All the role players will be the same, the caoching staff will remain intact.  There will be continuity.  That's better than going in fresh to a new team with new personalities.  It's good for Williams and it's good for the taterskins

Williams was 17-31 in Buffalo.

Seventeen  AND  Thirty-One.

Hard to believe they fired him.

One might say "inconceivable" even.

[SD_Eagle5]

I blame the Refs as the reason William's stint in Buffalo was a failure. They knew he'd eventually take over for the Skins and were trying to get an early start.

Preposterous!

Greg Williams as DC = good wine
