Matt Bowen remembers the first day of training camp under Gregg Williams -- the first team drill, actually. This was 2004, when Bowen played safety for the Washington Redskins. They were coming off a 5-11 season under the easygoing Steve Spurrier, who was replaced by the legendary Joe Gibbs and his new sheriff on defense, Williams. They started with a 7-on-7 period. Pretty routine. Nice and easy. Pitch and catch.
Except Williams instructed his defense to blitz the quarterback -- all seven defenders.
"I've never seen Mark Brunell look like that in his life," Bowen recalled with a laugh.
