Blondie Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Mums the word. By the way, Rock had a phenomenal game! He was a beast on ST as always! He really did, didn't he. I will relay your sentiments to him. And, thanks!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The problem is the middle of the line was built under Greg Williams to be run stuffers, and that is it We still have the same personel on defense that we had under Gregg Williams, and he tended to use the linebackers a lot more to rush the passers. Without doing that it exposes the middle of our line on passing downs. If you watch the replays, Andre Carter and Jason Taylor are often BOTH getting around their man on the end, but because the middle of the line hasn't collapsed the pocket at all,(which forces the QB to go backwards directly into the DE's) All the QBs have been doing is taking 2-3 steps forward and it takes the DE's right out of the play.

RedskinsInFebruary Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Seems like all our DLs are good at that. Well we seem to be shutting down the run of late--not getting gashed like we used to. Maybe it's by design to an extent, although I'm sure Blache would like sacks if we could get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've been good for awhile against the run, and awesome in games like these. What they're doing on D is effective. Just nerve wracking to watch sometimes.

Taylor 21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I have no complaints against our defense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJL Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Our edge rush isn't too bad. Our biggest problem is we have no pass rush at all up the middle. I've seen Carter and others beat their man many times only to have the QB calmly step up and deliver throws. Got to agree there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1Redskins Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yeah I'd love for our team to have more sacks, but I'll take the wins instead...... Our defense has done its job very well against the opponents we played, and most of the offenses we've faced were in the top 10. I'll take the W's!

MumboSauce Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 To the person or persons who say we don't get pressure you're not watching the games or know what you're looking at. A lot of sacks? no, but pressures, batted passes, knock downs. yes. if a QB is uncomfortable and is rushing to get rid of the ball it's usually an errant pass or a possible int. I agree there isn't much push in the middle...with that said the D is playing well right now despite the lack of sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskeypeet Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 If the Redskins continue to win I imagine we will see the sack numbers come around. I just can't imagine a team with 10+ wins having sack totals this low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The lack of a pass rush will cause us to lose a few games. I hope this team concentrates on the dline in the next draft. That is total BS. The Skins stop the run, and that is key. And the DL is doing very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maskedsuperstar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Which is more important, sacking the QB or stopping the run? Philadelphia leads the league in sacks. But what did the Skins do to their DL? Right, 203 yds on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RED06 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I just think that maybe our strength shouldn't count on Springs be healthy. Our defense did well today, but also, Anderson sucked major ass. Seriously, we should have lost this game WOW! Some people boy! Some people! LOL.................Why should we've lost this game?

pjfootballer Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Let's let JT get 100% and then if we aren't getting the sacks, then we can be concerned. And sacks are NOT overated. You have to have both sacks and pressure. Ask the Giants if sacks were overated last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana_4_prez Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Hard to get sacks when we are forcin' so many 3 and outs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc Requiem Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Demarcus Ware has 9 sacks alone. haha You are right and it because of those sacks that the Cowboys are leading the division...oh wait they are third and we are second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spitfire71 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I dunno. Part of it is the health of Taylor. He's been a bit nicked, as have the guys that were supposed to rotate in, such as Erasmus James and Rob Jackson (who got 3 sacks in preseason, if I remember correctly) I think the other part is not sending enough blitzes, and not sending them in the right places. The fact is, usually if you're talking 4 big guys on 5 bigger guys, the 5 bigger guys are going to win. Blache needs to be smart, but a bit more creative, on his blitz packages. If they've got three receivers and their slot guy is a stiff, bring someone from the edge. Or bring Landry every ONCE IN A WHILE just to keep a guy rattled. That said, we're causing more hurried throws and turnovers. And...what's the important part? That's right, we're 5-2. Don't get hung up on any stat except for that one.

Never4get#21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I think this will bite us in the hindparts if we dont do something to correct it now. We give QB sufficient time to throw. Yesterday Anderson was horrible or some of you might bail off the bandwagon again. Several dropped passes and overthrown balls. We can not survive a season with a lack of production in the sack department. No one really cared about Brooks untill it cost us field position and the game. While were upbeat and winning we need to address this issue. I dont think JT is 100% but aleast he's making good reads and has several deflections. AC is disappointing. He had one sack last game, but that more of a coverage sack. He's not facing the same doubles this year. He needs to step his game up. Whats up with Wilson or James?

Peregrine Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I agree that it is most likely Blaches system. Blache has been legendary for low sack totals. These guys didnt just "forget" how to get to the QB. Im not super concerned about it the way the D is playing, but it would be nice to get some turnovers to help our offense out.

Meskeet21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 someone enlighten me. what does blache's system have to do with the pass rush on 3rd and long. they simply cant get there. taylor and carter can barely turn the corner and there is virtually no push up the middle. how is that system?

Commander Adama Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Two Sacks: "To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, 'Hey, can you give me a hand?,' you can say, 'Sorry, got these sacks.'" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsCampbell2Cooley Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 They are doing a fine job, Taylor does a great job batting balls down, carter is getting to the qb, they are doing fine stopping the fun, get off their back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal is not to be 6-2 but to go deep in the playoffs, preferrably at home. In which case then yes, most likely we should talk about the lack of consistent pressure in a critical but balanced discussion. I think the OP ruined a good constructive critical post with his tone which just comes off as stupid after our 5th win of the season before Halloween.

Mooka Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Jason Taylor this game: 0 tackles... 0 sacks... you get the picture.He still may be hurt, but he hasn't exactly lit things up for us yet this season. 2 pass defenses though. Important stat for D-Lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what did the Skins do to their DL? Right, 203 yds on the ground. last year the Gmen lead the league in sacks...ended up winning the SB... 2005 the Steelers were ranked 3rd and sacks and won it for them. 2004 the patriots won it, they were tied for 3rd. 2003 the patriots won it, they were ranked 6th 2002 the bucs won it, they were tied for 6th. As you can see, with the exception of 2006 most of the superbowl champs ranked up there. Pressuring the QB = good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
