Redskins have signed DE Clifton Geathers

Why are we going so ridiculously heavy at DLine? I know it all starts up front, and that a good pass rush helps out the secondary, yadda yadda yadda, but we need a frikkin safety, period. Anyone remember the beginning of last year? On pace to allow the most yards through the air and passing TD's for a while? Is that now not a concern because a little time has passed?

If we had a better pass rush last year, especially from the d-line, some of those issues in the secondary would have been covered up. The Green Bay game always comes to my mind, we couldn't get any rush up the gut and they went to a quick hitting passing game and Rodgers picked us apart all day long.

Safety is still a major concern.

We had a lot of holes to fill in FA and Allen has filled many of them. Of course, what's left to do is with safety. We likely won't acquire a quality starts-this-year safety outside of a draft or FA miracle, so it appears that we are stuck with another year of average-at-best safety play. But we can acquire roughly average safeties as late as training camp. So there is reason to be sad about safety but no reason to panic.

Gruden is much more likely to keep an eye on the wavier wire for players who can help.

If that is true, then we will need to keep some cap space to sign released players. I still see holes at RT, Safety, and yes Kicker.

That is one of the spots where there is no hole.

I would say that is one of the reasons kick off coverage last year was so poor, Forbath struggled mightily to get the ball to the 10 - 5 yard line. Hauschka would be a tremendous upgrade.

I know it's way to early but I'm bored predict how man DL's make the squad and there names.
