Defensive Report Card (Bucs game)

B, it was great, but it was great against a bad O... the giants will be a better test, but the real tests are dallas and more importantly, the eagles.

A, our defense was flying all over the place, and if it wasnt for the fumble, and the kick return, i have no doubt that it would have been a shutout. we got turnovers, and drove bj crazy.

I give them a A. They played fantastic and Williams had them pumped.

I'd like to see how they look against a real offense.

I give them an A- because dump off passes were there quite a few times. I think next week we'll see the Giants trying to take advantage of that. Expect lots of screens and dump off passes to Barber.

I thought the idea was to rate our team and not determine what and who the opponet is. It was a A performance, no question. And please do not even say the Giants will be a better test. Did you watch the game yesterday in Phillly. The only thing better on the Giants team is the backfield of Dayne and Barber who most certainly will give us a test. Philly wiill be A versus A. Yesterday was A versus D

The defense gave an A performance. The last time I remember seeing the Skins put that much pressure on the offense, the opponent was the Eagles and their QB was Ron Jaworski. I really liked the play calling. Twelve seconds to play - leading 16 to 10 - most defensive coordinators go into the prevent. But, Williams sends in the blitz, puts the pressure on the D and they respond. Aggresive play calling. Well executed. Definately an A. I hope to see more of it.

Thanks smootsmack. Actually, I'm a DC area native - my work brought me to Latvia.

Clearly the best Redskins defense I have witnesses in a LONG time! They held the Buc's offense to the one field goal, which The Bucs probably would not have gotten if it wasn't for that great kick return. The score really should have been Redskins 21 - Bucs 3.

My grade was a B, although it is a high B. There is still some room for improvment, but compared to what we have seen in the past they played out of this world.

I think if they keep improving and attacking like they did against the Buccs, it could be a great season.

Hail!
