Their tears taste sweeter than chocolate milk
In their defense, Claiborne and Church were playing at a real high level, and Wilcox got dinged up as well. We completely stuffed their run game, the yards allowed were a product of the two deep scheme to protect the subs. Pass rush is our major deficiency
Pass rush is a major liability, but we need a corner that is good and can stay healthy. The problem with Claiborne is: Where is he when we need him??? Hurt 100% of the time.
I am happy, and no one expects the defense to be perfect, but damn!!!I guess I have to agree with most everything said here and have said all along we need a better pass rush and need to be able to stop teams when it matters most and feel we are still very poor there,,,BUT...we did knock the snot out of Cousins a few times and Mo was out and at one point our safeties were Heath and Frazier!!! And more importantly, criticize whatever you want we are 10-1!!! 10-1!!! So something seems to be working marginal D and all
So we aren't perfect, but our record says we are playing closer to it than anyone else...
Despite one blown coverage, Brown has played really well for a rookI guess I have to agree with most everything said here and have said all along we need a better pass rush and need to be able to stop teams when it matters most and feel we are still very poor there,,,BUT...we did knock the snot out of Cousins a few times and Mo was out and at one point our safeties were Heath and Frazier!!!

I would think as long as you & I have been on these type boards you'd understand the redskin fans have squatted to pee from the very beginning. Dallas week is a big deal.
Got that, just didn't expect to see them cry for OPI when the defender hits early and grabs a guys arm.
If it was as bad as Green Bay, it would have gave up 42 points instead of holding Washington to 6 points through three quarters and 26 overall coming off only 4 days rest. The defense is fine, just needs to get healthier and force more turnovers. The defense has given us enough stops to trust them. There's definitely room for improvement but this defense plays hard and keeps us in games and makes plays when we need it. I think Sean Lee qualifies as a great player.
Earl there is no way that this defense has made enough stops to trust them lol I admit I may be to hard on them, but you can't look at that defense and trust them.
I do. I trust the defense enough to get the stops needed for the offense to take over the game. They've done it all year. They did it in the first half yesterday. The Cowboys left some points on the field in the first three quarters. Score should have been worse than it was after the 3rd quarter.
I had that game deleted from my memory and you just had to bring it back up.
