[quote=punch it in;1161635]Dont forget speed on the edges, and [B]guys who can friggin tackle![/B][/quote]

Honestly I've seen improvement on missed tackles this year (but it felt like it couldn't get worse the year before).

Only Whitner and Compton were missing tackles on a regular basis.

No doubt it was better than last year and yes that was bottom of the barrel. Lol. Still need to improve.

[QUOTE=metalskins;1161782]Nope. Now since the defensive coaching staff has been kicked to the curb. I will expect better results with a few upgrades.[/QUOTE]



Of course that is what we said when Haslett left.
We need a damn guru.

[quote=SouperMeister;1161628]This team is too soft to even protect its own house!!! 4-4 at home is completely unacceptable for a team that saw itself on the rise going into 2016. Until McCloughan adds size, strength, and toughness in the trenches, expect more of the same.[/quote]

+1 ...sums up my feelings.

Build from the lines out.

The Whitner signing was an effing disaster. Anytime Cleveland doesn't want you then you might not want to bring that guy in. He looked like a 50 year old man in coverage.

[quote=MTK;1161055]All I know is the Redskins of old were perennial last place finishers in the division. We've definitely made progress under McCloughan but there's plenty more work to do.

I'm really not sure what anyone expected after just 2 seasons, but back to back winning seasons is a good start and something I'm sure all of you would have signed on for at the start.[/quote]
My question here is if you start the season 9-0 but finish at 9-7? Is that really a winning season?

Not trying to piss on anyones Wheaties. But was listening to Pat Kirwan the other day and his theory is "You are as good as your last 4 to 6 games. That is the team you are today. Not who you were at the start of the season, but who you are today." Is 2-4 a more accurate reflection? Or is 8-7-1?

We started 0 and 2.

9-7 last year and won four straight to end the year. We definitely stunk it up a few times this year on the way out, but I think we're a much improved team over the 2015 version. Not sure I buy that theory by Pat...

Yes more wins than losses equals a winning season, it's simple math.

8-7-1 is a winning season, but I will not argue with the theory that you are as good as your last 4-6 games.

The Cowboys, for example, finished the season 2-2...

Re: In Scot we trust?
 

In the famous words of Mr. Parcells: “You are what your record says you are.”

Your final record shows who you are over the course of a season. Maybe it's different in the extreme examples of going 8-0 then 0-8, or thereabouts. Even there, you have shown the talent and ability to win half your games in a 16 game season. Each year is a new year, how many "worsts to first" (and vice versa) does it take to prove that?

We were a 9-7 team last year and are an 8-7-1 team this year - that's who we are right now, and it's an improvement over when we were a 4-12 team or when we finished fourth in the division 8 out of 11 years between 2004 and 2014.

Who the fuck is pat kirwan?

Lol skins certainly moving in the right direction. Another winning season and a core of solid talent to boot. We are doing ok...firing a bad d coordinator is only gonna help. Good luck to you in the playoffs, y'all should do just fine.

Re: In Scot we trust?
 

I am going to have a great time on the dallas cowards forums when they get sent home from the playoffs.. if they win it all then fine with that but why the heck do they come to this site and poke around..
