Which new defender will have the most impact in '04?

How quickly did you forget, Ade Jimoh!

Or did you think Ade is as good as gone come final cuts?


Ade isnt a 'new defender', hes what we like to call a 'core Redskins'

I voted for Griffin. I think with 6 NFC East games and very suspect running games for all of them, most teams wont run outside on Washington and Arrington, forcing them inside right into Griffin. On pass defense, when we bring a blitz from either the weak or strong side, the LBs are going to get double teamed leaving the middle suspect and a good DT to make some big plays inside.

I voted for Taylor. He's gonna be a beast, I hope.

Although I think Washington will have a big impact at his position, it seems to me that Taylor, Barrow, and Griffin will have the biggest impact on the entire defensive system. Of those three, I see Taylor having more game-changing opportunities through interceptions, perhaps even running some back for TDs.

I agree that Taylor's impact will change games, but I am also grateful to have Michael Barrow. Our Linebackers were so undisiplined last year, hopefully Barrow's experience will compliment Arrington's wild side.

anybody else curious as to who the "others" r that 4 people have voted for?

I wonder if Brandon Noble qualifies as a "new" defender, since he hardly made it onto the field last year. The "others" might include Noble or one of the new CBs (Ralph Brown, Walt Harris), maybe even DT Joe Salave'a or LB Billy Strother.

Perhaps Gregg Williams qualifies as an "other" as well.

Well, my guy is not even in consideration thanks to an incredible screw-up by the front office....

ARMEGIS SPEARMAN - All-pro, all-world!!!

You just watch, someone will snap him up eventually, THEN we'll be sorry!!!

Barrow is the kind of vocal and experienced vet we need. But don't ignore Walt Harris or Shawn Springs; these guys bring the kind of work ethic Taylor and even Arrington can certainly use, especially in transition to a brand spanking new defense
