Re: Where has the Redskins' Pass Rush Gone?

Landry is an excellent pass rusher. If he played a 3-4 OLB, he'd be an absolute terror to block. But if Landry plays in the box, not just up on the line but actually in a gap, then you need to play both Doughty and Moore. And that's just not the best use of this team's personnel.

We need a real free safety, badly. It's our biggest defensive need.

Word to this. What sucks is we need FS AND probably a few other new pieces to make this defense tops in the league. If we ran the 4-3 still, with last year's personnel held over OR the current personnel, all we'd need is a FS and probably be elite...

...can't help but be sour on this. If Shanny sticks w/ the 3-4 and we do develop into a great defense that way I'll adjust. If Shanny dumps Haslett and the new guy switches back or otherwise takes the group a different direction I'll be effing irate.

Well, we gave the Eagles Nate Allen for a 1 to 3 year rental. Hackcoughhack. I'm a moron for being so hyped up about the McNabb trade.

I was a big proponent on drafting Allen last winter, and I think he's going to haveva strong career. But it isn't really accurate to say we gave them Allen Even though they took him with our pick

In the sense that we could have taken someone else with that pick, then yes. But even so, we did give away someone to another team. Taylor Mays to SF, Lamarr Houston to Oakland, etc.

I suppose if you want to look at it that way, doesn't really seem fair though

I'm just saying that one of those guys could have been ours, not all of them. However, since no outsiders knows the draft board, the best anyone can do is say there was a say, 1/16 chance Lamarr Houston or the like would have been the Skins' pick.

Why? B/c Landry is a good blitzer?
Reed and Moore and even Horton if he wasn't hurt are good blitzers in their owm right not as dynamic as Landry but still good.
If you worried about coverage when a S is pass blitzing drop Landry in coverage and rush with another S.

I'm happy with our safeties.
Our biggest defensive need?
LOLB,NT, 3-4 DE and 3rd CB are imo far bigger needs then S

I would call Landry an excellent blitzer. He's not a pass rusher.
