Go back to counting laps Joe
Well the Skins now sit at 4-8 after throwing away a 14 point 1st quarter lead to the Falcons yesterday. You know the Skins, the highest paid coaching staff in human history, and the offseason winners of the free agency spending spree every year.
Joe Gibbs now has a losing record in his almost 3 full season return to the nation's capital. This off season they signed 4 prominent free agents:
Andre Carter
Antwaan Randle-El
Brandon Lloyd
Adam Archuleta
Hear that thud? That was the return on investment from this group. Now granted, Carter had a good game yesterday with 11 tackles, 9 solo, but that was the first game this year where you actually noticed he was on the field.
Archuleta, the highest paid safety when he signed his deal last summer, has been benched. First for Troy Vincent (38 years old) and then Vernon Fox. Vernon Fox?! Archuleta is now the highest paid protector in punt team history. We were told AA was benched because of his lack of pass coverage skills. Hello! Scouting? They didn't know this before giving him a 10 million dollar signing bonus?!
Lloyd, the #2 WR, has 20 catches in 12 games. And in at least 3 of those games he was the #1 WR as Santana Moss was hurt. He had at least 3 drops against Tampa in a road game they needed to win. It also would've helped his QB who was starting his first career game to haul those in too. Then on Sunday he got a stupid Michael Westbrook esque unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for taking his helmet off.
Randle El has played well. He did have a punt return for a TD earlier against the Colts this year, and he has 22 catches, more then the starter Lloyd. He also has 2 TDs to Lloyd's zero.
The defense went from 3rd ranked in 2004, to 9th last year to basically dead last this year, with basically the same personnel and Greg Williams at coach. Al Saunders came in at 2 million a year to call plays, and the offense is worse then it was last year. Granted, it doesn't help that Clinton Portis was hurt all year but still this is the guy that made Priest Holmes and Larry Johnson superstars. Or did those 2 guys make Al Saunders get this contract?
Joe, you are a Hall of Famer. The wear shows on your face and in your voice. We get the same 3 cliches every week. We know you are all in this together, and fighting your guts out etc. Ok we heard that for the 8 millionth time. Tell Mr. Snyder you appreciate the opporunity but you are going back to Charlotte and continue building Joe Gibbs Racing into the force in the Nascar world that it is becoming.
