Thats my bet.

No, not a sacrificial lamb but since his unit was relatively healthy, and digressed at a alarming rate. He can go.

Yellowish goldish pants can go .. stick with the 80s 90s colors

The Redskins were 15th in yards given up and 16th in points given up. We would have killed for that last year.

Lets look at some other teams. Everybody here loves Minnesota. The gave up 18 less points than the Redskins (1.1 per game) and 700 yards less (40+ yards per game)

KC gave up 62 more points and 800 yards.

Just saying ….

stop clouding the issue with facts

Should this guy be back ?

 

[Sportster 72]

It is likely this team is going to be hurting at QB. If Smith plays I don't see him starting and expect less than what we got this year. McCoy is a backup and often injured.

Not sure that any changes are going to help next year. I am not suggesting tank but Kotwica, Danny Smith … how much does a change help the team?

I think you gotta bring him back. Save for the Dede return, special teams was great compared to past years. I think Quinn solves the return game if he can stay healthy. I also imagine we draft a speed reciever in the first or second(A.J. Brown, Hollywood, Brown, Deebo Samuel) to help out on KR as well.

Well, the brain trust is behind the dark curtain scheming something up. Ticket sales cannot take that kinda hit to start next season. Danny boy would revolt and fire everyone except himself of course.
So Dan & Bruce find a way to convince possible 2x SB Champion Nick Foles to sign here on a relatively good short term deal to start. Nick takes it because he wants to start so badly to prove he is no fluke. (2 yrs 16M, G, 3rd yr team oot) He starts next year, never looks the same, offensive line decimated with injuries of course. He quickly realizes he has become part of a curse.
Jk.....but would it surprise you?

Folks isn't enough of a splash for Danny. he needs a BIG name to fill the seats again (as if that is the problem). Unfortunately, he doesn't have the money. So he has to find a bargain who can electrify the fan base. Hey, wait, right down the road is a guy that has done it here before and he is available........RG3! Why not? It would cause all kinds of news and get people back involved. He doesn't care about winning so that won't be an issue. The problem arises in what to do after about week 2 when RG3 is laying in pieces on Fedex field?

And Gruden is pulling out his hair and then going on TV to say how poorly Griffin is playing.

foles will get 20 mil per season and we cant afford that

Good point! BTW: there goes the "if he only had a better defense" argument. Such is life in a team game!

They didn't have Payne last season & J. Allen missed most of last season. That alone should account for the difference. Let's be real - the D played well early on against primarily weak teams. They folded down the stretch against better teams for the most part. Whoever coaches this D next season needs to take that into acct & develop a D that can perform well for an entire game & entire season.

we lack speed and explosion at ilb and at safety

 

[Stymietee]

We have no identity on either side of the ball. On defense we are neither stout against the run or stingy against the pass. The closest thing to a star player on that side of the ball is, one sack per game Kerrigan give or take a game. Who do we have that consistently threatens opposing offense because they demand special attention?

We have good players for sure, but they don't play well as a unit. They are limited by lack of physical talent, speed, and poor fit. Hell, even the 1972 Miami Dolphins "No Name" defense played well together despite their lack of star power (Nick Buoniconti and Jake Scott were the biggest names). There are reasons why our guys don't or can't play well together and that has more to do with asking a guy to do a job that he's incapable of because the hire/acquisition process didn't take good, excellent or great fit, into account. We settled for a player and then hoped that it would all work out.

I understand who we did not have last year. I am simply pointing out that the D was better this year.
