You cannot look at rankings, because with all the rankings taken into account the skins D ranks dead last in the league, 30th yards given up and last in forced turnovers and sacks (pretty bad). There is no way that you could truly think that the skins actually have the worst defense in the league. The offense is the main reason the defense is ranked so low, with that many possessoins for the other team, the yards are gonna add up, however, we have been getting some crucial stops at the end of games, with our offense following it up with a three and out. I believe we have a slightly below average defense, they just need the morale boost. Hopefully campbell is that.

Oww. Owwwww. Owwwww.
So you are saying that all the evidence points to us having the leagues worst D, but that couldn't be...because we're the Washington Redskins. Therefore is has to be the offense by process of elimination? Is that so? Damn...I was way off.
The Defense is the main reason they are ranked so low. Offenses against us have horrible average starting field position. But we give up so many points against. First of all, is that not the mark of a terrible defense? Second of all, would that not be more demoralizing to the offense than the offense is to the defense?
Why would Campbell boost the morale of the team any more than the loss of Portis would lower it? Portis is the lifeblood of the offense.
