The Redskins have invested their salary cap dollars in other portions of the team and the DL is a unit that is made up of guys they can afford to keep on the team. Griffin has played very well for a year and a half now. None of the other defensive linemen on this team starts for any other serious playoff team in the NFL. That is why Gregg Williams' defensive schemes have been so fantastic. He has managed to conceal that relative weakness in the defense and make the unit into something that keeps the Skins in most of their games.
