skinsfan69 01-23-2017, 02:49 PM Part of the job here is to get the guys we're keeping to play better. Guys like Breeland, Fuller, Smith and Cravens... those guys have to step up their play and in Cravens case, stay on the field.
I think the other part of the job is to get off the field on 3rd down and get the ball back to the offense. If Manusky can just do those two things then he can make the defense better.
Whether it's a splashy player or coach, we should be very well aware that these type of moves don't work out more often than not. Hiring from within keeps some continuity, something we haven't typically seen much of around here.

Yeah, I will say, this looked to be a move of continuity. With a better group of guys on defense, maybe Barry would have not been as bad, but I like the idea of Manusky being more aggressive in his defensive playcalling. I don't expect much, but I do expect some improvement.
mooby 01-23-2017, 03:12 PM I just don't think the continuity argument holds much weight when you've had a crappy defense for 7 years. I hope that the theory is right and it will make the transition easier, but I'm not gonna put much weight on it.
mooby 01-23-2017, 03:15 PM You do not know what will go down with
Cousins either. What if San Francisco offers him over 25 million? There are a ton of desperate teams out there. Are we going to break the bank for a guy who doesn't handle pressure too well? I want Kirk resigned, but not at an inflated price. Also, you have no idea what Kirk is thinking. He might want a change of scenery for all we know.
In order for SF to offer him 25 mil, he'd have to make it to free agency first. That will never happen. Why would we let the best free agent qb even get to the market? If they think the deal isn't going to happen he will get tagged at 24.5 mil. You are basically saying we would let our stud qb walk, and get nothing in return for him, then tag him for another year until we can figure out a long term solution.
mooby 01-23-2017, 03:18 PM Good article, thanks for sharing. Our focus should b on the secondary coach right now. eff everything else
I disagree Chico, a good defensive line can mask shortcomings on the back end. D-line is priority #1, if we don't resign Baker then we are 0/3 on starters. We need a true nose tackle and at least one DE.

It's the only positive. Manusky is well respected at Redskins Park - the players love him. The players won't have to learn a new system, but hopefully the system is a bit more aggressive under GM. With Scot McCloughan bringing in better talent on that side of the ball, it should make enough difference to give the 'skins a couple more wins - which would put this team, hopefully, as a shoe in for the playoffs next year.

This reads me to like we're going to run the Joe Barry system. Or maybe Manusky's system is similar to Barry's? Either way, none of those things sound like positives. The only positive is we are obviously going to get some talent in here for him to work with. And if our d still sucks, then Manusky and by extension Gruden won't have an excuse. Gruden would be 0 for 2 on defensive coordinators at that point, and he's clearly uncomfortable hiring from outside his personal relationship pool. Hell we might even be talking about McC getting fired too if DS is mad enough. God forbid it gets to that point.

Def should have a leg up on player evaluations, what needs to be changed when it comes to scheme and where talent needs to be upgraded. Pretty much hit the ground running.
Also like fact we added a DL coach who can challenge Giants McA-dope for best pornstach in the division

Best line in the Warpath in a long, long time. Well played, Sir!
