Su'a Cravens, Kendall Fuller can boost Washington Redskins' secondary - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN (http://www.espn.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/31771/sua-cravens-kendall-fuller-can-provide-big-boost-to-redskins-secondary)

couple things:

During the Redskins’ minicamp earlier this month, Gray said Fuller was the one player who jumped out most to him.

“He’s been the one guy that has really impressed me,” Gray said. “The guy I saw on film last year and the guy I’m seeing now is a lot different player.


little foreshadowing here: Rookie Fabian Moreau offers versatility, but because of a torn pectoral muscle, he could be out until late August -- or later " of course...always


Gray said he was “pleasantly surprised” by how Cravens handled the deep-half duties at safety in the spring. Cravens showed last year that he can move forward well, making plays chasing the ball.

“He plays with great anticipation,” Gray said. “The main thing is playing with depth. If he gets his depth, he has great reaction.”


good stuff

Haha I'm loving it!!!

I hated every second Whitner was on the field for us last season...

Really don't know what they saw in him...

Was going back and listening to some podcasts from ESPN 980. In his interview with Cooley from July 12, Jonathan Allen says they are playing a 2 gap technique in the 3-4 defense.

I thought they made a switch to single gap when Barry took over. Have I missed something since Barry was fired?

And if this is the case, it could really change the value of a NT in the defense.

Yeah I heard it and noticed too! This could be a really good thing for us, couldn't it?

It's all execution. The biggest difference is the real or perceived need for a big dominate NT in a 2 gap who won't fold to a double team.

Which we don't have.

Redskins Media | ESPN 980 (http://www.espn980.com/redskins-audio/)I don't want to see Allen playing 2 gaps. I want him getting up field and getting in the backfield, that's his strength.
If the DL does 2 gap in 34 all 3 of the DL don't absolutely have to play 2. The NT and 1 DE can play 2 and Allen can get up field.

Either way true 34 will only be about 30 maybe -40% of the snaps.

Great! That means we will have adequate personnel on the field 60 to 70 percent of snaps! Yippie!

we had the league.s best defense in 2000.be nice for it to return in 2017.
