Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
That is a breath of fresh air. It's great to see the D getting back to form and the running game being complimented by the pass. It's been great to watch this team this year, short of one horrendous half, they've been a very good team and they get better each week. I love watching them and they look like an elite team in the weak NFC.
Just a shame the Boys are playing so well, but I want the Skins to make Romo play the way he did last night! That would be amazing, I told my buddy (Boys fan) that if Romo plays like that against a team who isn't one of the 3 worst in the league they'll get destroyed. |

Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
yeah I noticed that. I saw it on Monday on NFL.Com.
I'm very excited, but at the same time guarded. The Defensive showing against the lions was amazing, but our offense was playing against a pitiful defense on a team who can't win on the road. Green Bay's offense is smarter than Detroits. They will use more people in protection and Favre will make better reads. He's been playing Lights-Out so far. AND Green Bay has a pretty tough swarming defense themselves. Playing them at home will be the toughest game we'll have to play so far this year. Our guys can handily win this game, but they have to give 100% effort just like they did at home. I hate the way teams that have dominant performances when they're not exactly used to it, sit around and pat themselves on the back and don't properly execute the next week. I think the preparation and execution next week will be the biggest litmus test of how the future of the Redskins looks at present.

Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
That is a nice ranking after four games. I'm hopeful they can stay in the top 5 or at least top 10 once they start playing offenses that are ranked higher than 13-19, and are more than a one dimensional team.

I kept hearing over and over that the Redskins were facing the league's top passing offense coming into the week. I don't know it it was true, but the Lions have NO run game. The Packers are very similar. Great passing, no run game. They have been throwing random RBs who are all hurt into the mix every week. The only thing their offense has over Detriot's is Brett Favre. We should be able to limit Favre, not shut him down, but I think our D will do well enough to get us the win. |

Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
We've had a bye week as well. Most teams have not. That effects total yards. That barometer is a little more accurate as the season progresses.
I agree with everyone that feels that Green Bay in Lambeau is going to be a challenge. I think about Green Bay atleast once an hour. They are similar on offense to Detroit in that they are pass happy because they cant run. But their Left tackle cant be worse than Detroit's. I saw alot of play action in their game against Chicago. will they try that against us? and will it work.... |

Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
I did a little sorting by columns on the 3rd link I posted and our D also:
*has the fewest penalty yards in the NFL, by a lot. 111 for us, next fewest is Indy with 128. *is 2nd to NE in 3rd down % (opponents are 18/55, 32.7%) *is 2nd in yds/play to Pittsburgh at 4.3/play.

Re: Nfl Defense Rankings
Still a long way to go, but as of now I guess some people at Redskins Park really do know what they're doing.
