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

So far, so good on D. The LBs are flying to the ball, the CB depth looks good and Sean Taylor looks like the playmaker that the Skins have lacked at safety for the past decade. I can live with the DEs too; Wynn and Phillips are both very solid against the run and with some LB help, they should get enough pressure on the opposing QBs to be effective.

The one position that still has me very concerned is DT. I'm willing to give Griffin the benefit of the doubt for now; he looks quick and disruptive. I'm hoping that Noble returns fit; he certainly deserves it. But what if he doesn't?? Haley runs hot and cold and is frequently injured; Joe S barely played last year. I'm not sure that Boschetti or Heuer or Killings are ready to step in either. I think it is very risky to go into the season without adding someone at DT and hope that Vinnie and the boys are scouring the trade possibilities for a 3rd or 4th DT (would be virtually impossible to pick up a starter at this point).

How have the DTs looked to you; do we have enough talent/depth at DT this year to 'get by'?

Maybe, maybe not. We need to just leave the roster a lot. We are strapped for cash. For so long we have compensated for poor coaching by getting superstars. Now we have the best and they will make the players better. This year will be great. If we still need help next year, we can draft a DT. CHEAP, YOUNG, TALENT. Thats what we need.

We are getting pass rush and preseason is not over yet. You never no if Rod goes to Miami and Ofun come here, you never know.
