OK GW.....release the hounds!

Ok, it used to be that our D blitzed on every other down, if not every down. This season, we sit back and wait for the pick. I for one am ready for some BLITZIN!!!! Especially with a rookie QB. ATTENTION GW:


RELEASE DA HOUNDS!!!!!

GW plays the zone this season. Im not really sure why or what made him switch but if you notice the Skins D plays the zone all the time now. I hate it. Its not the only reason the Pats torched us but it has alot to do with it. Forget playing off the reciever, man up put the corner on the line to bump the wideout and blitz using anyone and everyone. If after a quarter or two and its not working then go back to the zone. I personally think the D would play so much better in man. Let the safeties split the field and go at it. But yet again I bet they play man.

I don't know. I thought we were looking pretty good until we went against what people are calling maybe the best team ever. Don't forget we didn't do a lot to establish field position in that game either.

i dont think we have the ability to play man to man an entire game with our corners.

I like the cover 2, while I'd like to see us mix it up a bit. Besides last game, our D has looked great.

yeah, we've looked pretty good until last week , but id still like to see some more pressure myself...

our front four is okay, but they ain't exactly lights out, and with smoot hurt and rogers out, he's gonna have to start pressuring throws in order to keep guys from popping open after a few seconds...

I'm not so enamored with our defense.
Yes, we played well against teams early in the zone....that only works when you are playing teams that play mistake prone football.
Dropped passes, penalties, bad passes, etc has stopped a lot of those early season drives.

The defense they are currently playing depends on the offense making these sorts of mistakes. Yes, every team makes these mistakes, even the Pats....those are the drives that dont end up in scores....it is not neccesarily that the Skins are playing lights out defense....their defense is pretty predicable right now. I think that is what is bugging us.

There was a time when the Redskins took chances...last year it burned them on D...perhaps GW is just as scared of taking chances as Gibbs.

The time to try blitzing more was last week, especially late.
They were gunna score anyways...why not make them pay or fear that they would get blitzed from any angle....they didn't which it was so easy to pick appart a standard scheme. And if you think a young QB doesn't hasn't been thoroghly coached on how to attach our scheme...you are crazy.

The only thing unpredictable about our defense is the blitz....and we dont do that anymore.

I expect our defensive ranking to slowly decline unless blitzing is significantly increased

I don't think we need to significantly increase the blitzing but sending an extra linebacker or Landry every once in a while should be enough to keep their offense on their toes.

Umm, did you happen to watch any games last year??

I'm amazed that people can criticize our defense at this point in the season. It has been nothing short of spectacular outside of the Patriots game.

I have no idea why you would want to do a single thing differently against any team not from New England.

WTF?
