How to fix the Skins' Defense

Defense started the season number 1 after week 4. Injuries have killed us and teams have also stopped our offense so the defense is out there alot. Barry has done ok with what he has. We have no pass rusher at all, smith may turn Into the guy but Kerrigan has fallen off fast this yr. Does he even have a sack this yr? I'm seriously asking

Another off-season of Scott..........

Our ILB had 0 tackles when the opposing team ran 30x.

Ummmmm. Yea

Why the heck did we get BARRY as DC ?? was he not the DC of the 0-16 lions?? and if he did not feel like he was failing this team why would he stand outside the locker room and tell the players to forget about this game??? this is the NFL not some div 3 college team..so now we got coaches saying its okay to lose..REALLY ???? I'm sorry that was weak ..Am i the only one that feels this way?

Talent level is low. No actual impact players. We have a few good fit guys but you have to surround those types with playmakers.

I really like Keenan Robinson, but he has no one to support him on the inside. Riley is garbage.

And don't get me started on the secondary. I like Breeland but he's inconsistent. Culliver has been hot garbage all year. What the hell did we bring him here for?

Pay Jim Schwartz. Go 4-3.

Did you read the title of the thread? It's about the defense. The offense obviously has issues too. Maybe you can start a thread about that. lol.
Maybe I'm being an a-hole about it, I just don't understand the need for this thread after a game where the defense had two takeaways, kept the team in the game until the second half, and prevented the best offense in the NFL to completely blow us out of us water.

The Redskins defense could have kept the Pats to 14 points and we still would have lost.

I'm seeing good points being made about the needs on defense. But if we had a running game and receivers who catch, we wouldn't be having this conversation.

I trust Scot in making the necessary changes on defense. But we'll be having the same conversation next year if the offense doesn't do its part.

You can't have a good defense if your offense doesn't do shit.

We had TWO turnovers yesterday and managed to come up with 3 points. We don't have a defense that can carry an inept offense. I don't get why this is so hard for people to understand.

Even teams with elite defenses like Seattle and the Jets must have some type of decent offensive output to keep them in games.

I think its this. When the offense could at least run the bloody ball and look like an offense the D was great. Hail it even managed to bail the O at when they made turnovers in the worst possible spots. Considering this is Barry's first year here I don't think hes doing as badly as some make it out to be.

You're not going to "fix" anything in the middle of the season after the trade deadline with this many injuries.
