Russell Could Land In NFC East

Hall: Redskins Will Dominate NFC East
Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall is very optimistic about the team's chances heading into the 2010 season.
Hall believes that Washington could win 11 or 12 games after adding players through the draft and trading for quarterback Donovan McNabb.
"It's based on the talent we feel like we've got," he said. "It's based on the improvements I feel like we've made. It's based on the scheme. The scheme alone is gonna give us four or five more wins. The games we lost by two, three points, we'll win those games, easy.
"We'll dominate our division, off of bringing Donovan McNabb in here, a guy who's dominated the division in the past. So that's just an educated guess. That's an educated guess, and I stand behind. I'll stand behind that. I'll fight and claw to try to make that happen."
Oklahoma Coach Questions Work Ethic Of Trent Williams
Jerry Schmidt, Oklahoma's director of sports enhancement, questions the work ethic of Redskins rookie left tackle Trent Williams.
"He's one of those guys, he's definitely not a gym rat. If he was, there wouldn't be anybody even close to him," Schmidt said. "If he really committed himself, it wouldn't even be close. He'd be the best ever. That's how much talent he's got. There's a lot of talent there that he just hasn't tapped."
Schmidt gushed about the talent Williams possesses.
"He's got a lot of natural, God-given ability. He's got great feet, balance, which allows him to play both guard and tackle," Schmidt said. "Even as a young player, you could tell right away how talented he was. He has a great upper-body, just real natural strength. You look at him, the way he runs, there's not many athlete that big who can run like that. He's a very talented guy."
Washington took Williams with the fourth overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Allen Insists Haynesworth Trade Was Never Discussed
