I agree 100%. Part of the problem was Norman was playing and he’s lost more than a step or two, he lacked motivation and just basically sucked this year. The defense improved as soon as he was benched. Second problem was Greg Manusky’s defensive schemes which were confusing, complicated and DID NOT WORK. Gruden was also coaching and he never could motivate the team and had the WORST halftime adjustments I’ve ever seen. He was the exact opposite of Gibbs at halftime. Finally, DeSean wanted revenge because Bruce Allen dumped him after he had a 1,000 TD season with us - Bruce never made a even a single call or an offer to DeSean’s agent!! Bruce really knew how to napalm bridges when people moved on.
Having Chase Young charge inward will put huge pressure on the passer and will make all the CBs and DBs look better! I mean it has been so depressing over the last two decades to watch our general lack of a pass rush. We’ve had maybe one edge rusher who was decent, but we’ve never had an elite pass rush from both sides, without having to blitz. This last season we did have some sacks -46 and were 11th in the NFL. Unfortunately, the sacks didn’t help since our defense was 27th in the league. I think with a new HC and DC we’ll see a huge improvement in the defense whether we take Chase or trade down and end up with Simmons at LB.
I want Chase but there is a small possibility the Redskins might be offered a monster trade. When Tua and maybe Herbert do extremely well in the combine/college day some teams may shoot for the moon at QB. However, a big trade down will only happen if we still get an elite pick at an impact position. That doesn’t include CB, no matter how good Okudah is.

If it's a 5 pick deal that includes three 1s and a 2 that's very very hard to turn down. Like you said small chance. Can't wait to see what happens
