Re: Redskins vs. Squealers Gameday Thread
I know our defensive line is average, at best, but could Joe Barry be any less creative than a 90+ year old couple having sex. Not only was he blah, but he was doing things tonight which seemed to lack football nuances, IMO (ie, not allowing Norman to follow Brown in certain situations, staying in a soft zone when Roethlisberger was smoking it like a cigar, not blitzing enough to mask D-line weaknesses, taking away runs on the edge).
Barry showed no ability to put players in the right position for success. A long, long way to go for this season, and I still feel we'll be able to win this division. But if tonight's showing was a sample what we'll see from this defense throughout the duration, then cronyism could doom Gruden.
