undisciplined?

It's killing us,' coach Joe Gibbs said. 'If I don't find some way to emphasize it, to get it taught, and that continues? Then you lose football games.


Early-season penalties have been a problem for two straight years on defense, and fiery assistant coach Gregg Williams said he might be to blame for overselling 'reckless abandon and intensity' to his players.


There are culprits all over. The defensive secondary has developed a knack for holding receivers on third-and-long, a major reason Redskins opponents have 11 first downs from penalties this season.

I have to agree.

We usually clean up after the first few games though.

Well, if the league ever called holding, the Eagles would be leading in penalties right now...

That O-Line is simply remarkable for getting away with it...I tip my hat to them.

Yes because people never hold the Eagles DE's. That's the real reason the skins d-line isn't performing.

The penalties are very, very concerning...

Thank god Joe Gibbs is Joe Gibbs, because if he was Steve Spurrier I'm sure there would be even more press about it...
