How Good Can the Defense Become?

Rankings don't mean squat, stopping the opponents when it counts is what matters. If Taylor, Springs and Washington are not 100% this coming weekend, then keep resting them; they would benefit from the rest. I agree that Washington has lost a step and this might his last year as a Skin. The Redskins defense is very good and could be even better next year if they shore up the LB position and DE.

It'll be interesting to see how we do stopping the run with Taylor back in there. But after two straight weeks without a sack, lord knows we need the pressure.

That's what baffles me. We can't get any pressure on the QB yet we're not giving up a lot of points.

When you don't turn the ball over and sustain long drives because of success running the ball, other factors can be overcome a lot more easily I guess.

I think they are getting pressure and teams are just getting rid of the ball fast against us.

The thing I like about our D line is that they're taught to get their hands up if they aren't gonna get to the QB. Pass deflections are huge and can kill momentum.
