That's fair enough. I for one didn't mean to bitch. I'm excited about our new defense. But there is always room for improvement. Even the '85 Bears defense had problems to fix.

I just know that we had better get our shit together, because I have a feeling Houstons offense is better than dallass', and we got kind of lucky last week.

Dont you all remember the games last year? The defense gets scored on because of every predictable defense they lined up with.Did anyone notice that there wasnt the typical 10 penalties in a game.Did anyone notice that they were not lined up 30 damn yards downfield,and that they commited to put Romo on his ASS! The Haslett scheme is going to be fine,a Gregg Williams type cordinator.Do you all remember him? or did you bash his ass when he was here too?If you dont want to support the Skins ,root for someone else!

I read that Kareem Moore practiced yesterday and that is great news for our defense. I think he is an upgrade over Doughty. I think Doughty is a good player, but Kareem Moore is a better pass defender and we will need that this week. I know the Arian Foster thing was working for the Texans last week, but I think a lot of that was a game planning method to keep Manning off the field. They won't run that much against the Skins, nor have that kind of success, so covering in the passing game will be very important this week. Heck, I say double A.Johnson with Hall and Moore on every play; that would be my strategy. Just take your chances with the rest of their receivers.

As long as he doesn't hand the ball off to the other team after an interception again, I agree..upgrade over Doughty.

Hopefully we'll be better with Moore in there, but I honestly haven't seen enough of him to say either way if he's an upgrade or not. Reed seems to catch a lot of flak from some folks but I honestly didn't see where he was as bad as some say the other night. He was guilty of being way too aggressive on the playaction at the goal line - yes. But overall I though he played well enough.

has anyone found any qoutes from haslett or shanny re. whether haynesworth was supposed to be shooting the gap from NT?

Ive read every article posted in the warpaths news section and other articles to no avail.

Haven't seen anything official but one would have to think Haslett was ok with it, he was primarily playing on passing downs so he was probably allowed some leeway to get up field. Otherwise I can't see why he would have been left in there.

Doubtful. Shooting the gap are staple for "Phillips" 3-4s, which I why I believe Haynesworth would fit better down there with the moo-moo bums. We have a Lebeau-influenced 3-4, so I think there's a mix of plays that ask the Dlinemen to two-gap and one-gap, but I can't be sure because there's so much to pay attention to.

Arrington's take

Pretty good insight coming from a former linebacker.

Sounds like he shouldn't be shooting gaps then. Also seems to explain why Haslett wants him to play "with more power".

[CRedskinsRule]

I really liked what little we saw of Perry Riley. I am hoping he will be back soon as well.

You can play the what if game all day long. What if Armstrong hauls in that TD and we go up 17-0? Or what if we at least get the FG there and later on have a 16-7 lead?

This is the place for what if's, the game is played here all the time, I've grown accustomed to it.

[CRedskinsRule]

I really would have liked the score to be 16-7 at the end. I wonder how the coaching staff dealt with the LS and Holder this week.
