The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Over the course of the last two seasons, the Washington Redskins have seen three quarterbacks take the field, five different running backs record a carry, and multiple safeties cracking the starting lineup.
Despite the multitude of changes on a team in transition, one thing has remained the same: nose tackle Barry Cofield anchoring the center of Jim Haslett’s 3-4 defense.
While Cofield didn’t have the opportunity to dig his toes (or should I say hands) in the sands of Hawaii at this year’s Pro Bowl, he can claim what no other defense lineman can–being the best nose tackle in the business.
In a recent ranking made by CBSSports.com’s Pat Kirwan, Cofield rates as the NFL’s No. 1 DT playing in a 3-4 scheme.

When analyzing sacks, hurries and knockdowns, Cofield blew away the competition–he led all 3-4 DTs with a 21.5, while the next player on the leaderboard only had 4.5.

WHAT they dont tell you is how many hurries per Qb drop back which is a more accurate assessment since as a D we stayed on the field for more snaps probably more than any 3-4 defense.

Furthermore since our NT and d is a run stop first type of philosophy,I think he fares better in run stopping stats per game.

Anyway, you think those stats are impressive?!

Cobra Kai Forbath, I agree.

Speaking of Jenkins, I wonder how our draft pick Brandon Jenkins would do on the line. I know he's an LB, but can't help to wonder. He seems to have a lot of power that could be molded to perfection.

Still, a 5-1 ratio over the next closest player? That's not just scheme.

... Cofield is just a good NT but not in an elite category, no matter what the guys generic stats say. He's strong in the run and an average pass rusher. Im sure he's respected around the league but not as much to be on any all pro team or labeled top NT

I still feel our Dline would be that much better with another Nose tackle and moving Cofield to LDE/RDE. Still it is not like our Dline is a weakness. Our secondary obviously was the weakness last year. So I am glad we addressed the secondary in the draft.

Kudos to big Barry C.

I hear Albert "the wallow" Haynesworth is looking for a job.
