I think the Redskins should Go to A 3-4 Defense.

No pass rush
very few sacks
very few interceptions
DL not being able to collapse the pocket
No defensive TD's

It's the same feeling I get about the Special Teams. Every year I wonder why we can't get beyond the 30 yard line on KR. Why our PR can't seem to get more yards then 5 everytime teams punt to us. Then some one has to come along and present the stats for the year and if it's not Vinny then he's taking notes from the blogs cause we next see him on tv with the whole ...."they were 4th in the league. That's incredible. What more can we ask of them?" LOL.

I don't think there's any dispute our special teams sucked donkey balls. But dude you have to give props to our d. We shut down the run almost every game. This is huge and we shouldn't take it for granted. We hold receivers to very few YAC most of the time. We've been able to get QBs on the run to disrupt plays.

... you're still right on your criticisms. I think a nice upgrade @ left end would do us a hell of a lot of good and it looks like we'll be searching for another OLB so might as well upgrade there too (i'm thinking FA in both cases). But my point is a couple of additions and we should start to see some of the weaknesses turn around.

... i also keep in mind we did all this after losing our best player... RIP miss you forever Sean...
