I'm not so enamored with our defense.
Yes, we played well against teams early in the zone....that only works when you are playing teams that play mistake prone football.
Dropped passes, penalties, bad passes, etc has stopped a lot of those early season drives.

The defense they are currently playing depends on the offense making these sorts of mistakes. Yes, every team makes these mistakes, even the Pats....those are the drives that dont end up in scores....it is not neccesarily that the Skins are playing lights out defense....their defense is pretty predicable right now. I think that is what is bugging us.

There was a time when the Redskins took chances...last year it burned them on D...perhaps GW is just as scared of taking chances as Gibbs.

The time to try blitzing more was last week, especially late.
They were gunna score anyways...why not make them pay or fear that they would get blitzed from any angle....they didn't which it was so easy to pick appart a standard scheme. And if you think a young QB doesn't hasn't been thoroghly coached on how to attach our scheme...you are crazy.

The only thing unpredictable about our defense is the blitz....and we dont do that anymore.

I expect our defensive ranking to slowly decline unless blitzing is significantly increased
