December 1-- Williams is here to stay

Gregg Williams admitted that he declined two potential head coaching interviews last offseason (undisclosed which teams) saying that one of them he had a gut feeling he would have gotten had he gone on the interview.. He remains happy in Washington and went on to say that you we should not be surprised if he declines interviews again this offseason again because of how much he enjoys his situation in Washington.. he continues to tout learning from Joe Gibbs discussing how satisified he is that the locker room has not splintered into finger pointers for the reasons behind a 3 game losing skid.. Williams said he has never had a player show up late to his meetings, that this is among the best groups he has ever worked with, that they remain confident in their system and many were working on their off day this week to game plan STL.. On Dan Snyder: Williams said the owner has treated him like "gold" since he has been here.. He also added that he's at a point in his career where he does not care what anyone thinks including his employer but says calls this one of the best situations he's ever worked in.. He credits Gibbs for being able to keep the team unified.. he talked about the sitaution in Houston when he was on the staff that had the infamous sideline fight between Buddy Ryan and Kevin Gilbride and vowed after watching that that he would never allow any team he was coaching have an incident like this..

As for the defense: Williams said his team did not tackle well at the end of the game, on the LT game winning TD run in OT, he said at the point of attack the Redskins had done everything they were supposed to do, Marcus Washington was expected to be in a little better position then he was, but the bottom line was that LT needs to be tackled on that play.. As for the yards and points scored on his D in the second halves in general, he threw out how many series his team was on the field, didn't make it an excuse, but still made it clear he doesn't totally fault his unit for the blown leads..

Clinton Portis was dressed in a black wig, carnival glasses, fake disgusting teeth and a tie.. he called himself Revrend Gotta change with the theme being "things have to change aorund here." Portis said he wasn't going to dress up this week but his teammates urged him to do so to keep morale up, and he obliged..
Portis blamed penalties and ref calls for the teams inability to close out games.. He said he still believes this team can be a ball control offense, Santana Moss didn't disagree with this only to say he believes the team needs to "mix it up" more in order to avoid 4th quarter meltdowns.. Moss said he has gotten defensive attention before in his career but never as much as this thanks to his string start to the season and the Skins injury issues at WR..

Injury update: Everyone on the Redskins injured list practiced except Joe Salave'a (foot) doubtful and James Thrash (hamstring) who was downgraded today, he is now officially out for the second straight week..
RB Ladell Betts did practice for the first time since spraining a knee in the Tampa game, he remians questionable..
Rams: T Alex Barron (thumb) is now officially out.. T Orlando Pace missed a second straight day of practice with a hamstring/hip flexor injury, so it remains possible that STL will be without two tackles this weekend..
