Don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. In a minute, I'll be joined by former Washington Redskin defensive coordinator Greg Williams. I always enjoyed talking to Greg when I was covering him because I always felt I learned something

0:40.8

and I felt like he was somebody who was really, really good at you.

0:44.7
