As of this week, the Redskins are #13 against the run.

Here's what the defense has allowed in each game so far:

vs. Vikings = 86 yards rushing
@ Dallas = 138 yards rushing
@ Houston = 61 yards rushing
vs. Jaguars = 33 yards rushing
@ Giants = 155 yards rushing

When good opponents commit to the run against us, they can ram the ball down the Redskin's throat. Against bad teams, and teams that don't really commit (like the Jaguars, only 15 attempts) they seem to be able to stop the run.

I don't think Dalton would have much of an impact either way.

And as much as I'd like to believe they've found diamonds in the rough with Golston and Montgomery, if you look at the roster, when Salave'a was injured, there was nobody else left to play the position.
