The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Cheers to a great learning experiece! Yeah so what if we went 6-10, I mean I know tons of people say, "Brunell wasted our season!" or "What is Joe Gibbs doing!". Well say what you want but me, I can't wait until next season. I mean come on, we have THE Joe Gibbs and crew working for us. Joe Bugel is one of the greatest line coaches of all time, if you don't think he can get Jon Jansen Chris Samuels Randy Thomas and everyone else to be a dominant line then your crazy. We got Ernie Byner helping out Clinton and of course Ladell figure out the Joe Gibbs/Bugel running schemes and believe me Clinton Portis can succeed with any scheme. And what about Don Breaux, this guy is an offensive genius! And what a great job Greg Williams has done. This guy took a a whole bunch of no-bodys and turned them into the #2 Defense in the Nation Football League! Who knew who Antonio Pierce, Marucs Washington, Lamar Marshall, and Cornellius Griffin were before this season? Well he did and he turned them all into Pro Bowlers or Pro Bowl alternetes! I dont know about anyone else, but with one full year of Joe Gibbs offense under our belt (especially Patrick Ramesey) I have a feeling next year will be one for the ages. Hail To The Redskins!

I am with you on that. But I will add one more point to the above. I was one of the doubters about our special teams. They finally delivered yesterday. They gave us great field position. They may have proved me wrong and they gave me hope for next season.

You cannot underestimate the job Gibbs has done in leading by example and getting the players playing as a team. Last year, the team would have fallen apart with the offence not producing and we would have ended up with a far worse record than 6-10.

Gibbs is building for the long term Ok, so our record was disappointing. We had all hoped for a better first year back. But the progress is there.

With the #2 defence and a year under our belts, we will see much more progrss next year.

Guaranteed.
