His problems are angles, diagnosis, etc. Not athleticism. In theory, at least trying him at a position where those weaknesses are minimized, CB, isn't ridiculous. More smart moves FO. May be only way he makes team, or could be just more versatility.

That being said, sure feels like time to move on. For some guys, the light just never comes on.

I don't know, do you draft and acquire so many small burners to play ball control? I mean you have to run well, playoffs especially, difficult to see our WR moves and not think we aspire to more old school go deep a lot kind of O. Gibbs mashed you with the run, and then when everyone cheated up to stop run, burnt you deep. Nightmare for a D. It is interesting to ask exactly what kind of O our FO envisions.

Re: Washington Football Team Defense 2021

I look for an offensive overhaul of sorts this year, now that they have the pieces to run the system they prefer. Last year the QB position limited what they could do, but if RF catches on quickly (something he has a lot of experience with) we should see the Turner offense in its entirety. Strong running game, putting receivers, tight ends, and running backs in motion to get a read on the defense, looking for the deep pass first, and then working back through the progressions.

Could be exciting if both the O and D take a step forward. They will both have to in order to compete with this schedule.

WTF are they thinking? Total waste of time. I know in the old days there were a couple guys that just made the team as special teams players. They didn't play anything else. Mike Nelms comes to mind, just a great special teams player. I feel like that is what Apke is. Don't put him out there to play anything on defense, don't ask him to do things he can't do. To me he should be on all of the special teams stuff and that is it.

Re: Washington Football Team Defense 2021

If this defense isn't in the top 10 It will be a big disappointment

The offense is going to have to take a couple steps forward for this team to repeat in the NFCE.
i mean... we play the NFC East 6 times and imo the qbs are trash so

If we're not Top 3, it's a disappointment.

I think the team is trying to find anyway to keep him available for ST kick coverage duties.

I imagine hes a cut though at some point.

We shit on him a lot and rightfully so but the record can't be ignored. Until we beat him we have no room to talk.

It will be really tough for the defense to be in top 3 for the entire season, we will play multiple good-great QBs this year.

I'd add tackling to that. He's not a very sound tackler.

These are the QBs we face this year, and their records against us:

D Prescott - 7-1
M Ryan - 5-0
T Brady - 5-1
D Jones - 4-0
A Rodgers - 4-3
R Wilson - 3-1
T Bridgewater - 2-0
J Allen - 1-0
P Mahomes - 1-0
S Darnold - 1-0
D Carr - 0-1
J Hurts - 0-1
J Herbert (Rookie of the Year) ---
J Winston ---

A combined 33-8 against us.

We have a better defense now than we had in most of those games, but yeah, the offense is going to have to take a couple steps forward for this team to repeat in the NFC E.
