Team Report

Posted: 21 hours ago
LaVar Arrington reported for duty on the first day of offseason workouts, and his recovery from his knee problem is going well. The team's defense functioned well without Arrington last season, but it did require the coaching staff to develop schemes to compensate for Arrington's absence. Arrington can give the team a steady pass rush from the weak side. Despite his star status, he still needs to work on wrapping up on tackles instead of going for the big hit and letting a big play develop in the process. Arrington is at his best when he has a strong running mate who is dedicated to the weight room and is exceptionally bright on the field. Shawn Barber and Antonio Pierce filled that role, but both were set free by the Redskins. Lemar Marshall will have to try to fill that role as he learns to play the middle linebacker position this off-season.
