I think they could be better than middle of the pack with an improved pass rush. Getting injured guys back, plus Jarvis and Jackson after the bye. Wildcard being the young guys in the secondary. Talent is there to have a very good year.

Yep - and again - assuming relatively good health with RG3 & the rest of the offense - the defense does not need to dominate. They simply need to be slightly above average, force some turnovers & not give up too many huge drives. The problem last season was the offense having to dig the team out of a hole (at least early on - was much better later in the season). A healthy Orakpo & even marginal improvement in the secondary should get the Skins to that level.

I ain't surprised to see that article. I am a huge fan of Perry Riley. He definitely will be just one MLB that we don't have to worry about for the future. He has good size, speed, tackling, and hard-hitting ability. The question is, once London Fletcher retires, who'll play next to him?

That guy isn't on the roster yet I don't believe. Plenty of cash next year to get replacement for fletch and RT.
