Renaldo Wynn Agrees To Terms With Skins

[KI Skins Fan]

The Front Office continues to dance the Cha-Cha, one step forward and one step back. We need a better pass rush, so we get AH to occupy blockers and collapse the pocket so the ends can make more plays. Then we sign Wynn who never could rush the passer. Bertrand Berry would have been a better option.

KI I think you have to ask whether the LDE in our system is charged w/ the task of rushing the passer. From observation the position has always been filled by a high-quality run-stopper, save for the brief and unsuccessful Taylor experiment. Very few LDEs possess the talent/strength/size to be dominant at both clogging the run and rushing the passer... very few. I would just say that it's more likely a nice upgrade at SLB will give us the pass-rush we all want... like Marcus was capable of before he slowed down.

I know what you say has much truth (we really need a good SLB) but, unless our opponents will promise us not to pass on 1st or 2nd down, I think we need a run-stopping LDE who can give us some kind of pass rush. I'm hoping that we sign Daniels because I think he can apply more pressure than Wynn and he is very good at batting down passes at the LOS. Hopefully one of the younger DE's will surprise us this season, but I doubt it.

BTW, we had a poll on whom we would like the Redskins to sign and more people picked Juan Epstein (of Welcome Back, Kotter fame) than picked Wynn.
