Where has the Redskins' Pass Rush Gone?

Is this question posed in terms of recent years? If so, I'd say the GW years were pretty good, prior to that I have to go back to the Petitbon era when we had some good DEs, Mann & Manley.

Last year AC & Rak put up some numbers & if nothing else showed that if the coverage is good they can get there. This year I cringe about every time we blitz cause it seems the pct. always favors the O.

AC is still a good pass rusher but as GT points out, he is sharing reps.

Well I feel that in past years, our Dline has gotten us sacks, yes, but when the opposing team has a last chance to win it drive, our pass rush just disappears. The Greg Williams years overall, our pass rush wasn't that good to be honest, from what I remember. We have always had a problem getting to Romo, and against the Colts this year we had problems, especially when a team like the eagles had a good amount of sacks on Manning. If I were a D-Coordinator, I'd be running us with a 4-2-5 defense.

Put Andre Carter--Albert Haynesworth--Gholston--Orakpo as our DL

Rocky and London as our LB's

Carlos--DHall--LaRon--KMoore--and Doughty(would be Horton but he's on IR) as our secondary, and have Laron be that in the box type safety/the other LB.
