It is tied for 24th in points allowed and has a scoring differential of minus-63, also 24th in the league. Opposing quarterbacks have thrown 29 touchdown passes against Washington and just six interceptions -- the worst ratio in the NFL -- and have a 99.4 passer rating, a mark that also puts the Redskins last in the league."

In trying to take the optimistic approach to our defense...
We have the same defensive coordinator that we had the last 2 seasons when the defense was very good and if it only took a few player departures to get us in the position that we are in now, maybe just maybe, a few good aquisitions can turn the defense back around.
