Secondary a Primary Concern

Outside of Hall, the pastfew seasons we have had a vanilla defensive backfield and we seem to alway be OK. The off line already being banged up has to be the bigger concern. Haslett and co will have a nice secondary in place come week 1.

Outside of the bears game hall hasnt exactly been chocolate......

Someone please step up. We can't have Reed trying to cover people. He can tackle well, but that's it.

It doesn't matter who the opposing QB and star wide receiver is, home boy. The fact of the matter is Cedric Griffin didn't play well. I know Brandon Marshall is one of the best wide outs in the NFL, but Griffin could have defended that play better than he did.

I just dont understand why we're surprised that our 3rd db sucks against elite talent. We knew this was coming this season. We anticipated it. I said it a few weeks ago in a different thread. Our defense is going to give up a lot of big plays this year. Hopefully they stiffen up a bit in the redzone, but i wouldnt count on it. We'll stop the run, but big receivers will dominate us all year. Hopefully our OLB's improve from being Good to Great. That's really our only hope against the pass. Raheem is a good motivator, but you cant coach height and speed. Cedric's technique will likely improve by the end of the year, but at that point we'll be looking to address the situation via free agency.

Elite WR are gonna make the play more times then not given 1 on 1 coverage, especially against the 3rd DB.

During regular season I doubt Cedric Griffin will be covering elite WRs 1 on 1.
(Heck I hope he's not even on the team)

Like to see Crawford get some reps with the starters

me too bro, i smell upside.

I'm all for that idea too. Put him on Reggie Wayne this week. Collie might be out, got hurt last game.

It appears that Crawford was a steal where the Redskins selected him. It makes you forget about Chase Minnefield.
