No one said the O doesn't need to improve. But the D does also.
2008 Redskins Team Rankings:
- #30 in Total Turnovers created by the D
- # 28 in Sacks
- 0 Defensive Touchdowns
We are not the 4th best defense in the NFL, we were only #4 in total yards allowed. While we look good statistically in yards & points the key is to stop people when you need to in the 4th quarter and create game changing plays. Our D didn't do either last year. The FO did what it could to solve the problem (AH, Hall, Orakpo). The coaching staff needs to handle it's business or we'll only see a slight improvement.
