Week 13: Redskins vs. Giants Gameday thread

[GTripp0012]

We have a lot of poor performing individuals on the defense, and I think they overshadow some of the excellent performers we have had on that side of the ball. Fletcher, Landry, Rogers, Orakpo, Alexander, and Carter are all very good players for us. We have a number of contributing role players in Hall, Carriker, Kemo, Buchanon, Barnes (sky may be the limit for him), Wilson, Holliday, Blades, and Doughty.

You really should be able to build a pretty good defense out of that. But that personnel is not particularly suited to a 4-3 or a 3-4 system. And so we end up playing poor performers like Moore, Rocky, Golston, Daniels in roles they simply werent designed to play in, and we get diminished results because of it. It's not surprising, but we simply don't play a defense of good players even though we have more than 11 of them (closer to 15), and that doesn't even include Haynesworth.
