Redskins' Secondary Woes

To me....it seems like your over-analyzing a bit, since the Redskins were a Top 5 defense last year, and should be even better this year. I did enjoy the article though, a very good read.

I think one of the main points I tried to make is that I didn't think we were a top 5 D, but all the same, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Yeah...we could potentially have one of the better safety combos in the NFL if Landry and Horton continue on their path, plus Doughty and Moore are exceptional backups. Hall will be huge for us this season, Carlos improved a lot last season also except for catching the ball. Smoot is a sufficient nickel back and the fact we don't have to start him means we have quality depth finally. Barnes could contribute in the future if he makes the team.

I'm not worried about our secondary, or honestly ANY position on our defense at all. We were ranked #4 last season, we made huge improvements that should force plenty of TOs and get sacks, the only two weak points of the D last season...so I expect us to be one of the TOP 2 defenses in 2009. YES, I said TOP 2. Pittsburgh/Houston/Baltimore/Minnesota and the Skins should end up the top 5 at the end of the year (in no order).
