Switch to 3-4 Defense a Failure

[REDSKINS4ever]

There's many factors on why the defense has played bad this year. Injuries to 2 crucial starters is one reason. Replacing Atogwe and Landry with the likes of Madieu Williams and Reed Doughty is another reason. DeAngelo Hall looking very much past his prime is yet another reason. Josh Wilson should only be a nickle back at best, but he's a starter. A little bit has to do with Mike Shanahan as a talent evaluator. There are a lot of factors at work here that are contributing to the low level of play from the defense. The Redskins had a 13th ranked defense last year once the 2011 season was over. They've slipped to 29th or 30th mainly because of the factors I mentioned. The problem is simply not the 3-4.
