The Defense Only Thread

We need guys that can be more active along the line, and Compton takes himself out of plays alot.

I see Wil sometimes going to spots following his reads and he not quick enough to adjust when cuts back occur or another hole opens up.

Put Cravens as a S

I heard yesterday David Amerson is the highest rated CB in the league thus far this season.

He got burned by Steve Smith for a TD yesterday

Yup, I think the move to Strong Safety is best use....he is strong in coverage. I think that would be our best move.

I would like to see that transition. I think if that isn't a move the staff wants to do, they need to play duke nachos over bruton.

In terms of coverage with the team...Im not concerned. Without a pass rush I think we have held up decent. I look at Phillips as really someone who has struggled. But norman...free safety coverage and what is unheralded is our LBs in coverage....Cravens, Compton, and Foster....have been great.

Now if we could rush the passer more consistently, we could be even better. But I don't look at the team and think we are struggling in the back end of the defense.

I would like to see an investment in the defensive line. Not usually a big free agency person, but for the right player when it's a big need, I'm in.

Kawaan Short or Bennie Logan. Both UFAs. I doubt Carolina and Philly lets them get away, but we have to make a run.

A friend of mine watched the game with me yesterday. I told him early in the 3rd quarter after Crowell was starting to run all over the Redskins that the only way they were going to win was if the Redskins got turnovers. Sure enough 2 fumbles and a Norman pick later they won. If they have to count on turnovers to stop people, the Redskins are in for a long season. After 4 games, you have a pretty god idea who you are and who you are not. The Redskins can't stop the run, so teams will run it down their throat until they prove they can stop it.

We do have a good bit of cap space right now even though extending Cousins would take some, but I'd love to spend that cash on a good-to-great DT. Also down with taking one first in the draft as well. I know Scot goes BPA, but sometimes we have to factor in need a bit and we have holes all over the place.

Still standing by our ILBs might be even weaker than our DTs. Was watching this yesterday and they were missing tackles left and right. Being in the right place means nothing when you don't make the tackle.

So yeah rush defense is a problem, but im not gonna diminish the team for being top 5 defense forcing turnovers. That's a great skills to have and needs to be mentioned.
