Washington Football Team Defense 2021

[Chief X_Phackter]

I think the D takes a step back this year - not because they won't be better, because I think they will be - but due to the competition they will face. They likely won't be facing as many 2nd and 3rd string QBs as they did last year, and the schedule is full of really good number 1s.

The offense is going to have to take a couple steps forward for this team to repeat in the NFCE.

So exactly how many 2nd and 3rd stringers did we actually play against last year? Fields and the guy for the 49ers. Sorry, I don’t count Dalton with him being a 10 year vet. Had a couple games where backups came in due to injury, but that happened to us too. Sorry guys, that argument doesn’t hold water to me. Our defense was pretty good. It’s ok to say it.

We got a lot of breaks go our way last year. Just look at the last game of the year. Brady had his way throwing for almost 400 and they ran for like 140. We got a solid group no doubt but I feel we really missed Matt I. With him coming back and with the addition of Davis, I feel we can take that much needed next step.

Sorry, but at the end of the year Tampa was doing that to everyone. We didn’t have any more breaks than any other team.

We beat one winning team, man.
We got absolutely destroyed by good passing teams, whatever the string of QB. Guys running free in second and third level all the time.
Our D is good. I think it will be better, experience, 2nd year same system, guys like Young Sweat continuing to gel improve, Del Rio freer to dial it up, plus additions at CB and LB and depth at DE. Also, having an O hold its own will be HUGE, our O, a then D can be much more aggressive. That being said, we play some really good teams this year. The winning teams we'll need to beat will be better this year.
I don't think it is absurd to view this D as potential top-5 in NFL, but potential must of course be realized.
Can you imagine if our O actually scored in the 1st quarter consistently? This D could be a monster. Even if it regresses a bit, it is till a solid top-half of NFL D for sure.

These are the QBs we face this year, and their records against us:

D Prescott - 7-1
M Ryan - 5-0
T Brady - 5-1
D Jones - 4-0
A Rodgers - 4-3
R Wilson - 3-1
T Bridgewater - 2-0
J Allen - 1-0
P Mahomes - 1-0
S Darnold - 1-0
D Carr - 0-1
J Hurts - 0-1
J Herbert (Rookie of the Year) ---
J Winston ---

A combined 33-8 against us.

We have a better defense now than we had in most of those games, but yeah, the offense is going to have to take a couple steps forward for this team to repeat in the NFC E.

Who was our defensive coordinator?

But yes Dak is a good qb. We will see how he comes back from the injury though.
