Look I really didn't like Williams when we hired him, nor while he was here...

Spagnuolo did have some success with the Giants and he did leave the Rams with a real nice defense in place...

The new linebacking corps has not had time to play together...

And as much as I hate to make excuses for the safeties, especially Harper, they need time with the LB corps as well as they learn to "exchange coverage" on receivers moving through their respective zones like a relay team passed the baton...

Now, for several years we haven't drafted as well in Round 1 on defense with the exception of maybe Patrick Robinson, that and Cam Jordan needs another year, maybe two to really grade accurately...

Gotta tell ya that as f**ked as this may seem - I was looking forward to Will Smith have the extra time off and this is why -

first, he'd be fresh later in the season and...

second, we could see what we really had in Junior Galette and Martez Wilson...

Wilson, in particular as, on paper, he's bigger, faster, stronger, younger than Smith...but he can't seem to get into the starting lineup; why?

Can Wilson not grasp the schemes and concepts? Skills? I mean this isn't rocket science or have we made it that? If rookies like Cam Newton, Robert Griffin III, Von Miller, Andrew Luck can come in and have some success as much more complicated positions, what is the deal that Wilson can't overtake Smith, who I believe is too slow and small to be a game changer, consistently, for the salary slot he's paid...

And I'm tired of hearing of Junior Galette's ability - I really love his story coming from Stillman, but I want to see all of this 'potential' translate on the field or start looking for his replacement...

This is just rough because it was a rookie REDSKINS QB that came in and schooled our team at home, opening day...

Midseason, we should have a base line and some history and data to compare whether Spagnuolo is truly improving the defense...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
