How will our defense hold up next year?

...Any thoughts/solutions on this matter? If you offer a solution via free agents, please try to look at our cap situation first while taking into account we also have to give RGIII a few million.

o Re-sign Fletcher

o Sign another sign another Free Agent

I think it's a little premature to be down on the D.

LL and Atogwe were hardly on the field last year, so is there really much of a loss there?

Still a good chance Fletcher returns.

Jenkins is back, that's a plus.

Hall is still here last I checked.

Or maybe he was just sayin', hey where you been?

You're right Matty. I'm sure that's all he was saying. We're such close friends he wants to know what's been happening in my personal life over the past 5 months. He can just send me a private message, and we'll catch up on all of my wild worldly adventures.

So are you back to bang the Beck drum some more?

Don't worry, a lot of us were wrong on that one.

It had a very harmonious tone before they cracked the shell.

Motivated? How about more rested? 2 turnovers a game by their own QB is about the worst thing the Defense had to deal with. I'd temper the expectations for RGIIi as a rookie though. There are going to be growing pains.

Rest is a minor factor compared to playing with the lead. After all, if 2 extra minutes of playing is already exhausting your players....something is amiss.

Okay, clearly there's always talk about defense winning championships. And defense is clearly important and we need to address this. BUT before we get carried away, our defense was GOOD ENOUGH to compete with the top teams in the league above.

The more important point is, our offense is traditionally what has lost games. And the risky moves for #1 picks and overpaying WR's -- I believe they were well spent for high risk-high reward franchise QB and #1-2 WR. I would say that RG3-Garcon will do more for our team than the best secondary in the planet. For example, if we became the best defense in the league, we'd give up 8 less points per game. If we became the best offense in the league, we'd score 17 more points per game, much more impact.


* Baltimore, San Francisco and Denver had great defenses, but inevitably collapsed

very good point.

Are questions like this intended to gauge devotion, and loyalty? And then when you infer that I'm disloyal does my voice lose all volume? Seems like a very domineering approach to human interaction.

Lol nothing gets by you does it?

PS

Viva la revolucion!

Pittsburgh and Houston.

Avg Points per game given up:
Green Bay - 19th
New England - 15th
Giants - 25th
Saints - 13th
Redskins - 21st

And the Giants barely made it, helped out by a certain Dallas Cowboys team.

Despite the fact we gave up fewer yards than them, we did not do better than most of them in giving up points either.

Detriot , N.O. and GB all had 5,000 plus yards passing , and were 0-3 in the playoffs , just saying . I hope we focus on OL and , yes Defense from here on out .... as I want to put .... Romo , Vick and Eli on the ground very often .
