You have to start at the line, and work your way back. A great secondary won't matter when the front seven is getting gashed. This front four has been neglected in the draft for years. Not since Kenard Lang in '97 has this organization spent a high draft choice on a d-lineman.

And that was a different front office.

I agree with you, we have neglected the entire defensive side of the ball since Snyder took over. Snyder loves his offensive skill position players, which is a joke because they are the easiest to get in FA. Every year teams unloads over paid QB's, WR's, RB's etc. This year is no different.

Look at this years Francise player tag designation for all teams this offseason, not a single offensive player.
All are defense:
1) Asante Samuels CB pats
2) Lance Briggs LB Bears
3) Freeny DE Colts
4) Justin Smith DE Bengals

I would like to see the Skins get stout Michigan DT Alan Branch and sign MLB London Fletcher. That would solidfy our run defense. Then go after a SS in FA.
hesscl34, Sean Taylor can not play two positons FS and SS at the same time. We gave up alot of long passes as well. Safety is the QB of defense. You have to have TWO dependable safeties in order to have a good defense.
