bubba9497 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Not one "expert" says the Skins can win because of Defense! I hear Buffalo's D is better, KC's D is better, they can win it all... blah blah blah yet the Skins D was #5 last year.... #2 this season, yet no one mentions the defense. Why?

Symbol Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The reason is because our front 4 has only one star, an "over the hill" Bruce Smith. We pretty much have a no named front 4. My thoughts to the "experts", keep thinking that these guys can't do anything, and they'll keep working their :moon: off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Spurrier is not known as a defensive coach. Eyes are still on his offense, everyone wants to analyze that. I think it's good that the skins are getting some positive press, but I don't think that we as fans or the team as players should get all caught up in it.

RTerps2002 Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Honestly we have to shut down a team with a good offense before our defense is going to get the respect. Also our offense puts other teams into easy scoring options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Mike Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 And lets face it. Teams are still scoring on us. This isn't the kind of defense that dominates a game so much as the kind that almost quietly makes the plays when they need to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ignatius J. Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Bad teams have been scoring points on us. Look at the falcons bucs game. Those guys put up a few points on us, even after we stopped turning it over. -DB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyeG Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I think our D will come around...Terps said it right..our O is putting our D in bad situations.When we stop that we will get some respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_good_brotha Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 The Falcons scored when our D was in a bad position. Even after we closed the gap 17-14 the special teams gave up a big return which got the Falcons at around the Redskins 37 yard line. The last touchdown was scored on a rookie who I am still wondering why was even in the game at that crucial point. My only problem with the D is they tend to give up long drives. Although they do stiffen up in the red zone and hold opponents to a field goal. They need more 3 and outs in my mind. Brotha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
