Not Ideal

I noticed last year, no matter how many times Redskins D coordinator Gregg Williams blitzed, we could never seem to touch the QB. When the QB has all day to throw, bad things happen. Somehow, through what seemed like smoke and mirrors, the Skins ended 2005 with one of the best defenses in the NFL and a miracle playoff appearance. In the offseason, the pundits praised Gregg Williams to high heaven. I couldn't understand why. The Skins seemed like they were always a step from disaster. Somehow the D always held up, even though they could put no pressure on the QB. How long could this last? Long enough for Williams to get a huge contract, a promotion, and pre-season hype that the Skins could make the Super Bowl.

Then reality struck: the 2006 season started. The defense has been terrible. Not just any old terrible, but putrid, near record breaking terrible. Ugh.

To those I told so before the season, it bears repeating that I told you so.
