Brandon Meriweather Out 2-4 Weeks

I'd give Keenan Robinson a lot of playing time, next to Fletcher to help with coverage on the tight ends and running backs. His scouting draft reports suggests that he can help in coverage, especially covering tight ends. The redskins need coverage help as much as they can get it. And he was productive in the preseason with 17 tackles. No one else in the front 7 has proven they can cover. And the secondary is in shambles right now with the corners needing help from the safeties, who are the defense's biggest concern and personnel weakness right now.

It's either this or rely on Orakpo, Kerrigan, and the defensive linemen to put constant pressure on Brees without blitzing.

ouch, and against Drew Brees too

Perhaps they'll use Doughty primarily, but put in Gomes on passing downs?

And am I correct in thinking Bernstine is much too raw for anything but emergency use?

ouch, and against Drew Brees too

Don't think it really matters since Meriweather is a horrible coverage safety.

Before, I was saying that we will upset the saints.

Then Merriweather got injured in preseason and I was cautious.

Then Tanard Jackson got suspended and I was like 'ehh' its not looking good for the upset.

Now with Merriweather hurt and down for sure from this game, and no tanard, I'm just hoping its not a blow out.

They played without Meriweather, Jackson, Landry, Atogwe and got blown out how many times last year? Once, the last game against Philly.

Are Jackson and Meriweather difference makers?

Was that a blow out? I don't remember that game. But that's an in division, we played that team well because we see them twice a year. Saints we see 1-2 every four years. Drew Brees with a football is more dangerous than Mike Vick IMO, because I've seen the eagles offense be stopped many times. Havent seen the saints just get shut out or even stopped.

Are Jackson and Meriweather difference makers?

Well, they're two young pro bowl players, so yeah I'd say they definitely could have been difference makers...
