Gotta love Blache's take:

"Their starters beat our starters - pure and simple," Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Blache said. "We didn't make any plays, they beat us on third down and we made poor decisions. Other than that, it was delightful."

We couldn't get off the field on third and long a few times--that reminds me of last year a little too much for my liking, but yeah, it's only preseason, I know.

The big issue for me right now is the failure of our DBs to cover the middle of the field well. Our safeties have to make that a place WRs fear. We also still seem to sag way off of WRs. With this D line, why not be a bit more aggressive in coverage?

I do like that the D is clearly not satisfied and expects to dominate. Let's crank it up, boys!
