Re: How to fix the Skins' Defense

Well, looks like more PT for Compton: Will Compton Expected To 'Play A Lot' Against Saints

It would be better if this were at Riley's expense, and not Robinson's given how much Riley has really regressed (from being average).

One thing I have wondered about is Martrell Spaight. He went on IR in the preseason for a concussion, which seems odd to me. I know he wasn't likely to get much time this year, and perhaps they were concerned he'd be poached off of the practice squad, but I recall that at least Gruden gushed about him early on and said he might be considered a steal in our draft. Goodness knows we need LB help, including on special teams.

Man, at one point, we thought LBs would be a strength of the team -- seems like a lifetime (and several injuries) ago.

All the scouting reports said he is/was a killer bookworm, the perfect combo for ILB.

Re: How to fix the Skins' Defense

We really need to add a volume tackler at ilb in the offseason. I hate to bring up a loud mouth turd, but we need a London fletcher type back there. There are several first round talented lb coming out in the draft.

Re: How to fix the Skins' Defense

Why don't people like Keenan Robinson? I mean the guy's not a stud by any stretch of the imagination, but I think he's a solid guy.

He just has no help at the LB position, Riley has been terrible, Kerrigan has fallen off and Murphy seems like a ghost most of the time.

You stick two solid guys back there, one at ILB and one at OLB and I think that LB core gets worlds better.

Maybe we should be looking a little more closely at the offense that has regressed from 26th overall last year to 28th this year in points per game. Hmm.
I really don't get where all the hate for the defense is coming from.

Perhaps Will Compton will be the answer at the other ILB position.... Jay Gruden has been talking Compton up a lot lately

Re: How to fix the Skins' Defense

Need OLBs like crazy, probably biggest need in offseason.
