Since you brought him up, Ted Washington, the epitome of a block absorbing defensive tackle had 33 tackles and 3 sacks last years. And while I agree the the sack is not the be all, end all for a defense, no pressure on the QB is one of the major reasons the Redskins can't generate turnovers. QB's tend to throw pics when they're under pressure, and fumbles come from the QB position more than any other position on the field.

Re: Cornelius and Co

Ted Washington is more than Block absorbing DT. He is regularly an NFL leader in recorded solo tackles for a DT. Something Noble is not.
Washington had 71 solo tackles for Buffalo in 1996 and 61 in 1997. For a DT/NT that is a large amount.
Noble, on the other hand had a career high 35 in 2000 for the Cowboys. Other than that year he has had low numbers in his short injury filled career.

Don't get me wrong, I like Noble, he is a stand up guy. But we do not desperately miss him. He is easily replaceable.
