Who will lead Washington in sacks this coming year?

I'm not knocking Luvu, like I said I'm sure he's a pretty good player. But is he a Parsons type of guy? No. If we want that type of player we're most likely going to have to draft him.

Dorance Armstrong. Sneaky good get by DQ & Co. He will benefit from the rotation of Payne/Allen/Mathis/Newton.

Honestly, I understand some think the front 7 is just "so so", but call me crazy - we actually have LBs now and with the non-production we got from CY, I feel like the front 7 is better - on paper.

Mathis? Mathis?! Let's see if he makes the final 53 before we put him in the rotation.

It was my understanding that Newton won't be available to begin the season, so Mathis may have gotten a break, until he gets hurt again, or whatever. I guess that we have the Vanilla Gorilla waiting in the wings ...

Yes, Mathis.

Injuries are part of the game. He's had a couple unfortunate ones that have derailed his young NFL career, but he should be back healthy this year. No reason he wouldn't make the final 53 unless he turns out to be the unluckiest m'fer and gets injured again.

I like the idea of Payne/Allen/Mathis/Newton/and Ridgeway in the middle providing they are all healthy, especially with the new LB corps.

He won't make the 53 if his work ethic is lacking or if he's just simply not that good.

The only time I saw him show up on film last year was in highlights for the opposing team's offensive line.

Maybe Mathis can return kicks?

Leading our team in sacks and being the best defensive player in the league are two different discussions.
Luvu is coming into his own. it took him some time, but if the last two years are any indication he is getting ready for take off.
