the two of them are the future for us, they are going to be fine no matter what they do

I think Mitch has a big mouth. He always did, and he still does. Loved him as a player, but we all know he stuck his foot in his mouth more than once....

There is a shred of truth to what he said, but these are young guys who are extremely skilled at what they do. They will grow up. Gibbs will reign them in without them even knowing he's doing it, and they will grow to love him even more for it. Gibbs is the motivator.

I love Brian Mitchell. But he needs to realize that moving as a team takes consistancy and thus far we have little of that even aside from Portis and Taylor. I am not dissing him for what he said but I think he called out the wrong person. He needed to call out the coaching staff as well. I didn't hear any punishment or mention by Joe Gibbs of the individualistic things these guys did. So until the franchise makes them responsible of course they will continue. Give a man an inch and he'll take a mile! ;-)

He did call out the coaching staff, I was surprised.

He said, "There is no way the Joe Gibbs of the past would stand for it and he is baffled why he let Portis and Taylor get away with this today."
