Shanahan says he considered his defense worth of being ranked in the top 5 before the season and injuries took their toll. #Redskins

Shanahan is equating defensive shortcomings this year to last year's offensive struggles that resulted from OL injuries.



I still think the defense would be suspect even with us at full strength. Not as shitty as we are right now, but still suspect. I don't think Haz is doing a good job with scheming or designing up creative ways to get pressure, which is why our secondary is getting owned.

Well, he has a point there when you think about it. Look at the OL this year and how well they've performed so far.

We're essentially down 4 starters on defense. Jackson, Meriweather, Rak, Carriker. There's bound to be a drop off when you lose that many guys. Not sure if we'd be top 5 with those guys, probably middle of the pack, but that would have been good enough for a few more wins, easily.
