I'd try Arch at linebacker honestly. I mean the guy is still an athlete, I think he could play better as a WLB.
Didn't Gibbs trade the team's 2007 2nd round choice to move up and get Rocky McIntosh as a WLB? Gregg Williams should get off his high horse and give the kid a chance. I'm starting to think that Warrick Holdman has compromising photos of Williams.

Gibbs and Williams think very similarly about veterans. The average fan can't see that Holdman is struggling while the average fan can plainly see that Brunell was struggling.
I think we'll see more of Rocky soon. He made a good ST play last game.
I really wonder what's going on with Rocky. Is he really that lost in picking up the defense? GW is typically slow in putting in his rookies but we're now 6 games away from the end of the season and Rocky hasn't gotten a sniff of playing time on D. Something isn't adding up here.

It's too late this season to make a drastic change but moving to a base 3-4 defense might be the Redskins best option with their current personel. The Redskins are not suited to a 4-3 defense, their defensive ends are not atheletic enough to generate pressure. Since their best skill is occupying blocks, they would be better in a 3-4. The down linemen would be DE Phillip Daniels, DE Renaldo Wynn, DT Cornelius Griffin, OLB Marcus Washington, OLB Andre Carter, MLB Lemar Marshall, MLB Rocky McIntosh, FS Sean Taylor, SS Troy Vincent, CB Shawn Springs and CB Carlos Rogers. Interchange Andre Carter and Adam Archuletta and move him around to support the run and blitz the quarterback.

Cause as soon as the coverage team got close to him, he would throw it away?
LMFAO!!!
Or he could yell "SPOT" and throw it to Betts or Portis!

3-4 would be a great move, seems to be the defense of the future around the league right now. WE GOTTA SWITCH UP SOMETHING. Our defense was bad in the beginning of the season, but now we can't even stop the run, that spells bad bad news.

in a 3-4 you need a nose tackle, and that's really not griffin's thing. he's a pass rushing DT. and you can't move from a base 4-3 to a base 3-4 in season, since it requires a lot of adjustments and learning. i know GW has a few 3-4 packages or whatever, but 1 down vs full time are a bit different. not to mention only 1 LB is playing okay right now, so i'm not sure if throwing another one out there is going to cause a huge change.

Urlacher used to be a safety. Taylor makes most of the tackles anyway .Might as well get him closer to the line of scrimmage. AA may work out better beside vincent than with taylor.
Why not put Andre Carter at weak side LB.

Griffin looked pretty good on sunday, anyone else agree? He was especially good on the goalline, you don't think he could play nose tackle? He does get hurt too much for us to rely on him though.
