2012 Redskins Free Agency Tracker

Bowen and Carriker without question. In Cofield's case, the group of "nose tackles" is so small and exclusive that it's hard to say he was below average. I thought he performed adequately.



Cofield was below average as far as as all defensive tackles go, but that might have just been an effect of the scheme, i.e. he's doing the job of two men in a 4-3 scheme. Same with Carriker and Bowen I suppose, although Bowen wore down considerably after a hot start. He wasn't good at all when we had that long losing streak.



I wouldn't pick any of the five as not NFL caliber. I think it's just mostly a group of available guys, and Jenkins, the prospect who hasn't played a snap yet.



Bowen and Carriker did combine for 11.5 sacks.

Its in the NFL thread already.

I think Chris Neild will be our Jay Ratliff, late round pick turned Pro Bowler.

feed neild

I actually think Neild was already decent. Always seemed like whenever he got play time, he got more push than Cofield did.

he's got the goods, i just enjoy seeing a 330+ pounder over the center. all guts

Bowen and Carriker did combine for 11.5 sacks.Orakpo and Kerrigan's sack numbers look a lot more reasonable if you consider that they were the ones who earned those additional sacks. But like I said in another thread, someone has to be there to clean up, or the QB gets the pass off.

kerrigan's strategy is solid. get under the pads, drive them back into their own qb, and get a hand on the ball when possible

I'd like to see us use more traditional 4 man fronts, especially with hybrid defenses being all the rage in the league now a days.

Just every now and then it would be nice to see both Kerrigan and Orakpo lining up as traditional defensive ends with their hands in the dirt and two DT's inside (presumably Carriker and Cofield). I know we run 4 man fronts some times but thats usually with Orakpo and Kerrigan in a two point stance.

Their recent history is they haven't won a playoff game since 1993, and they just finished last in the worst division in football.

*edit-sorry I quotted the wrong person

Does being obtuse win you an award? They still finished with a better record (7-9) than us, and the players who led their team to a division title a couple years back is still mostly intact. And being in a weak division cuts both ways. It means it's easier to make the playoffs for everyone involved.
