I have to say I don't know how bad or good the D line is. You know the saying Cowboy up? Well the coaching the pasted few years on the Redskins has flat out been bad!!! In every way!!!! The team has not been prepared for the season,for any game and has been unable to change a game plan during a game! There has been little to no discipline or accountability. Just look at all the penalties last year. The game plan was not up to NFL standards. The coaching staff never looked at the players they had and tryed to get what they did best out of each of them. What they did do was had a game plan and said you do it even if it was not going to work. One example was blocking for you QB while passing. There were times last year I saw O lineman not blocking anyone or two and sometimes three blocking one defender. These are things done and learned during the week before Sunday game. These are the things that Gibbs and his Staff will do that was not done in the past two years. So is our D line bad, good or what. One paper it could be weak. But football is not played on paper. Griffin and Noble look good in side. That if Noble is well and ready to play. Daniels should be good on one DE spot. As for Wynn I see him like Samuels. All of you say Samuels is this great OT but I remember offsides so many times by him it mad me sick. Missed blocks getting the QB killed as well as missing over and over again blocks on running plays. But I also say coaching and game plans lead to a lot of what happen to Samules. So lets hope better coaching makes Samuels as well as Wynn all they are should be. I too think great LB and secondary will make the line better but the D line well have to be good it's self for the Redskins to stop teams!!!
