Jack Del Rio Thread

Will you folks please stop advocating for cutting Ryan Kerrigan. He is still an above average player IMHO. Also, depth has been an ongoing problem for this team. We now have an opportunity to have outstanding depth on the DL and the ability to keep our D-Linemen fresh. And, yes, he can certainly play DE in a 4-3 on passing downs.

Ryan has already said he wants to be in D.C. and would work something out with the Skins in order to stay.

Yeah I really don’t get the multiple people calling for him to get cut. Don’t we want as many good edge rushers as possible?!

Manusky’s schemes were complex for the players, but the on-field result was little blitzing or stunting. There was little pressure on the QB and the results were predictably dismal. The Redskins were 27th in defense in 2019.

Jack Del Rio will take Manusky’s dumpster fire and turn this defense around. He’s taken several team’s defenses from near the bottom to very close to the top! We have some talented personnel that just need to be coached, motivated and instructed to reach their potential. I bet a guy like Sweat will double his sacks next year.

That's not no pressure on the QB.

I think it's more accurate to say the pressure was inconsistent, especially against good qbs who could beat a blitz.

I can't find the numbers right off, those with a pff sub probably could, but I believe we blitzed alot. I also believe those blitz's weren't good against good QBs.

I also don't believe the blitzes were coached well and timed well. Good teams picked them up.

I also agree Del Rio is going to be a huge improvement. The two just have very different styles.

Yes, we do! To be clear, I meant that we should draft Chase Young and keep Ryan Kerrigan.

I can see the perspective where he has some(?) trade value, a large salary next year (>$10M), would presumably want a new contract for 4 more years, is getting older and if you are going to draft Chase Young then we have waaaay too many resources invested in the front 4, 5 first rounders + Matt I. We desperately need a free safety worthy of the position, a new corner on the assumption that Norman is cut, and that doesn't even consider what we need on offence.... A pass rush is good, but you have to be able to score points too

One thing I wrote was incorrect. Although Ryan said repeatedly that he wants to stay in D.C., he did no say he would try to work something out contractually with the Redskins.

I think you're right about too many $$ invested in the DL if we draft Chase Young. Even if we don't draft Young, Kerrigan's $11.5M salary may be too big a hit to take for the Skins. I'd like to see RK stay but I believe he will need to agree to a restructuring of his contract to do so. If the Skins can get a mid-round pick for him in a trade, then he may be traded anyway.

If there isn't a huge market for Kerrigan, and I really don't know if there is (although I guess not), then he could be a poor man's Dwight Freeny.

In other words, he could play much fewer, high quality snaps at a bargain price.

That would be fine, but what are the chances

Better than you might think because his current contract is not guaranteed.

Love the hire! Del Rio spits fire and is a great d-coordinator. Already love Rivera lol!
