Defense Is Back, Really!

[MTK]

Carlos did a nice job last night, I'll give him credit.

The Carlos haters only mention him when he does something bad, they expect perfection form him because of being a high draft pick.
Remember they said Smoot would be the starter opposite Springs by now.

Yeah, that is a relevant point. We haven't seen anyone with any real firepower yet. The Giants and Lions will pose more of a threat through the air.

God help us when we meet the Patriots.

I am guilty of cursing Carlos.

I do think he does well out there, and other teams tend to pick on him a little bit at times.

You know what really worked well last night. Jamming the receivers and not giving the 7 yard cushion that we usually give. From what I saw it really made a deference and I hope we continue to play like that.

He will, Jesus is in Joe's pocket.

I concur. He looked good enough to start to me. I thought Carlos looked a lot better. Maybe his best game. Leigh Torrence even got a tackle. It was encouraging and I hope the secondary continues to gel. One thing is for sure; teams are definitely afraid to throw the ball down the deep middle. Sean Taylor is lurking. I hope he doesn't get discouraged by the fact that he can't make a lot of highlight plays because teams are simply not going to take the chance.

That's what depth is for, he's a quality cornerback. A good, sound number 4. We need to face a team with some offensive firepower spread throughout their wideouts, before we'll know the value of our depth at cb. The Eagles are back to the same old problem, no wideouts.

I do believe Mr. Carlos gave up two first downs on two 4th downs attempts to shitty WRs. I'm still not getting the performance of a top 10 pick and I want my money back.

The defense did an outstanding job, I'm proud of them. Leigh Torrence is my dog. He took Ade Jimoh's spot and kept it moving. I'm out here in Honolulu and I expect to see many Redskins out here for the Pro Bowl. C'mon Saden1, Carlos got beat for a couple 1st downs, believe me, he's trying his best and he will get better as the season goes on. Trust me, he's a great corner!

I don't get arguments like this. Carlos underachieved and now he's starting to play well. The fact that people pointed out his deficiencies last year - myself included - doesn't mean they aren't thrilled now to see him stepping his game up.
