Mike Shanahan elaborates on what Redskins' defense will be

[BlindReckoning]

I was wanting us to switch to a 3-4 simply because I was sick and tired of the opposite extreme we had last year. That "bend but don't break" defense we had was no different than playing the prevent defense but starting it out in the first quarter.I hate the prevent period and think it has no place in football. For sure our personal is better suited for the 4-3. I just want a more aggressive 4-3. As long as our corners are with in 10 yards of the receivers (preferably less) I think most people will be happy. On a side note.... Carlos Rogers needs to stop whining and learn how to catch.

From what I've read Haslett and Slowik both believe getting pressure on the QB is paramount to getting turnovers. I think we'll see a more aggressive defense with Blache gone. I'm looking forward to it!
