Redskins midterm grades

[Beemnseven]

The defense has been mostly good, but not lights out. Allowing Arizona and the Jets to creep back into the game takes them down a slight notch if you ask me -- and that's primarily in the pass defense.

Kellen Clemens looked like an All-Pro, and they let him complete way too many drive-sustaining third downs last week.

Good, but not 2004 good.

True enough. This defense is not dominant, but they've been pretty good. I think they're pretty comparable to the 2005 defense, which was good enough to get us into the playoffs. If we can get the run game going on a consistent basis, we should be fine.

I must admit, however, that I am scared about the injuries to Rogers and Smoot. Rogers is, of course, on IR and Smoot's injury sounds fairly serious. I wonder if the defense will plunge without healthy #2 and #3 corners.
