    I am definitely interested to hear back about Williams' interactions go with the rookies. Guy is intense. I like hearing that.

    Talk is all fine, well, and good. Lets see what actually happens on the field in actual games.

    This team now has some parts on defense...but there still seem to be some major holes to fill if this defense is going to rise above like 30th/31s ranked defense.

    Again with another cliche:

    A team is only as strong as its weakest link.

    There are still some weak links on this defense. Even filling some of them with first round picks and lower didn't solve all the issues.

    FS

    OLB for a start.

    DL addressed pretty well. Got the DE you all think will work wonders. They got two DTs....a spot I said was even a potential bigger priority. Hopefully Peppers fills the gap at SS.

    Hoping Tyvis Powell or the UDFA kid from BYU can deliver and give at least average play. Not anything ground breaking. Just don't be a problem.

    Nice turn of a phrase "from feckless to flawless". Kudos.

    Hue Jackson has a proven track record of chosing shit. Odds are, WIlliams is Shit.

    Williams is not new to the league.

    He's a proven guy (not shit).

    It's possible that he's Hue's replacement.

    IIRC, mini-camp is not open to the public. 🙁

    WOW................ Stop the presses.............. HOLY FUCK.......................

    Hue Jackson endorses the guy he hired. THIS IS BIG FUCKING NEWS.......

    This is BIGGER news than Hue Endorsing Horton and falling in love with RG3.

    WOW, I am so excited.

    Reality Check.......................Hue Jackson has a proven track record of choosing shit. Odds are, Williams is Shit.

    If you want to argue the Saint's Super Bowl winning defense was all on Sean Payton..... A few things from Wiki for your enlightenment.... One thing for sure- Williams isn't going to put up with any crap.

    "Gregg Williams (born July 15, 1958) is an American football coach who is the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns . Previously, he was head coach of the Buffalo Bills, and defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints which won Super Bowl XLIV. Williams is known for running aggressive, attacking 4–3 schemes that put heavy pressure on opposing quarterbacks.[1][2]

    In March 2012, Williams was suspended from the NFL as a result of his admitted involvement in the New Orleans Saints bounty scandal, under which bounties were paid for causing injuries that would take targeted players on opponent teams out of games. Williams' suspension was lifted a year later, and he returned to the NFL."

    Williams was at the top of several NFL teams' list for the position of defensive coordinator. Williams quickly signed with the Washington Redskins, the only team with which he interviewed, because Head Coach Joe Gibbs offered him total autonomy over his defensive players and defensive coaching staff. LOL, so much for the DC running the HC's scheme!!!

    In Washington, with Williams' aggressive defensive scheme, the Redskins' defense ranked third in the NFL in 2004 and ninth in 2005.

    On January 3, 2006, Williams signed a three-year extension to remain with the Redskins, which made him the highest paid assistant coach in the NFL."

    That might make Ghoolie happy if he gets his wish to see Hue fired. Williams didn't do too well in his first stint as a head coach (Buffalo) but then again neither did that guy who's currently coaching the Patriots. 🙂

    Wow what's Williams going head hunting again?

    Dirty pool alawys getting beat in the end. Well, unless it's an offense that can trump which remains to be seen.
