Statement Win! Commanders Victory Post Game Thread

The defense will come around. This coaching staff will mold these defensive players. It takes a little time and the trust of the players to believe if they play like they are told it will get better.Agree with this. Look at Dallas' defense now without Quinn. Enormous dropoff. Just hope Quinn has the dogs on this defense to make it this year. Allen and Payne need to step up, double teamed or not. I want to see more Johnny Newton.

I was saying in the gameday thread, we just dont have a consistent pass rusher, once we get that the rest of the defense will fall into place, there isnt a good defense in the history of the league that didnt have some type of consistent pass rush

we had some years without great DEs (gibbs 2'ish). It's a lot harder to do it that way, but we had a really good back 7 back then (i.e. shawn springs playing amazing at cut rate prices, before he started missing a lot of time here, etc). Renaldo wynn started 63 games and had 8 sacks, phillip daniels had 15 in 66 starts (8 in 1 year) - jaw-dropping numbers.

memory lane, I kinda forgot just how long london fletcher played here:

Imagine Sauce Gardner and TJ Watt on this defense. Watt had 19 sacks last year! Either way, I trust Quinn and Whitt to get the defense fixed. Hard to not be happy with the offense so far.

I’m really glad to see this discussion of our d in the context of coaching and player development. True, having an outstanding player like Aaron Donald can have a big impact, but the thinking in the Snyder era was only that, with lousy execution (Forbes)— just fill the d with college all-stars, including “generational” talent Chase Young, and problem solved.

Having a crap GM and crap coaching staff was the problem, and we’re right to believe the new regime will get this sorted out. And it won’t necessarily involve day one draft picks. It’s all about getting solid-enough players who are coached well and communicate well with each other on the field. A bunch of them may already be on the roster. The others will get replaced quickly.
