Washington Football Team Defense 2021

Keim said they are trying Apke at CB today in ota…

How you think that will work out?

His problems are angles, diagnosis, etc. Not athleticism. In theory, at least trying him at a position where those weaknesses are minimized, CB, isn't ridiculous. More smart moves FO. May be only way he makes team, or could be just more versatility.

That being said, sure feels like time to move on. For some guys, the light just never comes on.

Also, as Ron Is building a power house defense, he’s also building a really good online, so we can play ball control football...using our speed pre-snap to run motions to help out running game too...as it makes the defense freeze for a second to make sure the WR doesn’t get the handoff as they run by

I don't know, do you draft and acquire so many small burners to play ball control? I mean you have to run well, playoffs especially, difficult to see our WR moves and not think we aspire to more old school go deep a lot kind of O. Gibbs mashed you with the run, and then when everyone cheated up to stop run, burnt you deep. Nightmare for a D. It is interesting to ask exactly what kind of O our FO envisions.

I look for an offensive overhaul of sorts this year, now that they have the pieces to run the system they prefer. Last year the QB position limited what they could do, but if RF catches on quickly (something he has a lot of experience with) we should see the Turner offense in its entirety. Strong running game, putting receivers, tight ends, and running backs in motion to get a read on the defense, looking for the deep pass first, and then working back through the progressions.

Could be exciting if both the O and D take a step forward. They will both have to in order to compete with this schedule.

WTF are they thinking? Total waste of time. I know in the old days there were a couple guys that just made the team as special teams players. They didn't play anything else. Mike Nelms comes to mind, just a great special teams player. I feel like that is what Apke is. Don't put him out there to play anything on defense, don't ask him to do things he can't do. To me he should be on all of the special teams stuff and that is it.

If this defense isn't in the top 10 It will be a big disappointment

I think the D takes a step back this year - not because they won't be better, because I think they will be - but due to the competition they will face. They likely won't be facing as many 2nd and 3rd string QBs as they did last year, and the schedule is full of really good number 1s.

The offense is going to have to take a couple steps forward for this team to repeat in the NFCE.

i mean... we play the NFC East 6 times and imo the qbs are trash so

If we're not Top 3, it's a disappointment.

Dak isn't trash and Daniel Jones is 4-0 against us

Daniel Jones 4-0 that is cringe worthy

I think the team is trying to find anyway to keep him available for ST kick coverage duties.

I imagine hes a cut though at some point.
