RandyHolt Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Maybe the kid from Carolina really turned heads in OTAs. At least we have finally moved past trying to find traditional 3-4 5'11 360 pound nose tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess there's less than ten teams in this league that wouldn't trade their entire defensive line for ours straight up and that number is probably lower. We've done an outstanding job of drafting starters while also acquiring excellent potential for the rotation, if you can't be excited about this defenses potential then you're even more jaded than I am. People are confusing questioning the guys behind the starters with questioning the entire defensive line as a unit. Nobody's not excited about Payne, Allen, and Ioaniddis.

Not saying thats not the case, but as much as I think Foster should have been cut long ago, seems foolish to cut him leading into training camp when you still dont know how the new players are going to work out, or if they will even survive camp without major injuries. There seems no reason to cut him now instead of 3 weeks from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody's not excited about Payne, Allen, and Ioaniddis. I don't think we really are though, I think its more of a belief that your starters are part of the equation when figuring depth. The only way you can have above average depth is to have better starters. What people are saying is that tim settle would almost certainly be a starter on over half the teams in the league and Brantley would have a real good shot at starting on some teams or at least get some serious minutes. This is mostly speculation of course because at this point we haven't seen enough of them to be positive but we have seen some flashes and the fact that they'll probably (barring injuries) spend most of their time on the bench means that we have excellent depth. Its mostly opinion but its definitely a very widely shared opinion in league circles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't always buy into: we did the player a favor by cutting them sooner than later. So they can go find another team sooner than later. Horse hockey players are cut in July because we don't want them. I will float the idea we weren't happy with his 15 pound weight loss. Maybe we wanted him to Mike but he wanted to be Sam.

XxSpearheadxX Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 I have it on good authority that after being informed he was released last tuesday Mason Foster has finally made it to the exit of redskins park and is another day or two from getting to his car. I'll keep you guys updated on any further developments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander -JB- Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 This better be the best defensive front in team history if we have any chance of winning a lot of games this year. Keep the other teams defense on the field long enough that our inept offense can actually put together some good drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 8 of our predicted starting 11 on offense even played Thursday..and if any of them did, it was for a minuscule number of plays.

RandyHolt Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 "According to Football Outsiders, Manusky’s defense in 2018 led the league in two- or three-man pass rushes, utilizing it 23.5 percent of the time, nearly five percentage points higher than second-place Denver (18.7 percent)" Expect more bend don't break until our offense catches fire. No Trent + Colt - WR1 = slow games down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get quite a kick out of it when i do watch but I am intrigued by the defense this season. I believe they have the chance to be very good.

Warhead36 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Jonathan Allen is entering his 3rd year. This is when I want to see him take that step and become an elite Pro Bowl caliber player. He's been good so far but he needs to dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanguard Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well the first team defense looked strong against Cincy in preseason game 2. Would have liked to see more pressure, but other than that, I’m confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
