Wanna see what Eric Washington is like on game day?

[Mr. Scot]

Here ya go...

Eric Washington mic'd up

Reminds a bit of Steve Wilks, very well spoken. Sems to be full of energy. That's how I like my defensive coaches. I'm a fan just from this short video.

Man, what a Debbie Downer...

Seriously, I look at players like Addison, Horton--getting better every year. Coaching.  

[Jangler]

He has a nice round head.

that's a thing, right?

[Mr. Scot]

 I notice he's one of those people who addresses you by your full name sometimes, or your jersey number if you're new.

But heck, even when he addresses you by your jersey, your first name is "number"

[Dunn]

When he gets fired up, sounds like Terrible Terry Tate: Office Linebacker.  Excited to see what he brings next year.

Hopefully Hurney and Co give him the pieces he needs to succeed

Just watching the 1-minute video made me like him. Seems to have the right attitude and a confidence about him. 

[SetfreexX]

Watching this video you are kinda reminded that we DO have some young talent at DE, if our rotation, or rather DL groups looks like:

Peppers / Addison / Horton / Hall / Cox Jr / Rookie 

Then considering the interior DL

Short / Butler / Love / Rookie or FA

I feel like that is as good a front as anyone currently has top to bottom, could we use another young guy or two sure, but if we start next season with the above I'm good with that.

He's been the most impressive coach to me in my trips to training camp, always teaching and encouraging his players. It shows; the d-line is the only position group on the team that has had below average players develop into very good players. 

I'm happy for him. I do wonder, though, why people who excel in teaching and motivating are expected to suddenly be good play-callers at the very highest level of competition. Seems like it'd be a very different animal. I really hope it works out.

I also have a nice round head and can tell you it is in fact extremely important.

Size matters.

As long as he doesn't allow DBs to play 10 yards off their receivers on 3rd and 8 I'll be happy with him. That was my biggest criticism of Wilks. Hell even McD did that at times. But with Wilks it almost seemed like he was purposely doing it to allow our DBs to succeed with sub-par talent. In other words, I really think we need a secondary overhaul. That will help our defense more than a new DC.

[Mojo]

First time hearing him but everything that made me like Wilks personality wise seems to be abundant in Washington too.

Definitely a leader of men.  Look forward to seeing what he can do.  Happy for him.
