Re: Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

He's also stout enough to hold down the edge in the run game, 267 pounds is no cupcake.

He also takes good angles to the ballcarrier, you never see him go at the upfield side of the ballcarrier, always seems to put himself in front of the player to knock him backwards. That's a guy who just understands defense and is less concerned with the flashy hit.

Good motor, good kid. I don't see any way we'll be disappointed. We need multiple bodies who are reliable, I'm glad we shied away from high-risk high-reward types. Kerrigan is the exact opposite of that.
