HTTRDynasty Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 19. Jonathan Allen, Washington Redskins Next on this list is a young stud interior rusher that the Redskins stole in the 2017 NFL Draft. Allen’s career got off to a rocky start after being placed on IR his rookie year from a Lisfranc injury, but he’s rebounded to play in 31 games the last two seasons and has logged 14 sacks, 43 pressures, 31 QB hits, and 18 tackles for loss. Allen is on the cusp of breaking out into one of the game’s youngest superstars. 14. Matt Ioannidis, Washington Redskins Ioannidis might be a surprise addition on this list to many, but he’s been one of the most underrated players in the NFL over the last two seasons. Ioannidis is one of the best pass-rushers on this list, despite not possessing the elite physical traits of other players. He was double-teamed on 65% on his snaps last year but still managed to capture 8.5 sacks, 11 TFLs, 35 pressures, and 16 QB hits. Honorable mentions Linval Joseph Ndamukong Suh Gerald McCoy Sheldon Rankins Michael Brockers Michael Pierce Brandon WilliamsDa’Ron Payne 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Warhead36 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I also think our LBs are really bad. So many times the DL did their job and flooded runners right to the LBs only for them to completely whiff. We need a major overhaul at LB unless Cole Holcomb and Ryan Anderson really take that next step up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
dyst Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) If our on-paper talent ever translates to on-field success, especially on defense, not doubt that 2017 is where the foundation started (for me) with Jonathan Allen. Just set a tone of an identity. Edited May 12, 2020 by dyst 1 Link to post Share on other sites

No scapegoating-hate, just plow ahead and focus on winning I agree. That said, Manusky was a HUGE problem. To the extent the 'Skins tried to replace him but couldn't find anybody willing to take the job. If he was a halfway decent coach, or even remotely respected, his next gig would be slightly more impressive than the defensive quality control coach for the university of Kentucky Wildcats. Jack might not com out and say it, but I bet both he and Ron looked at the roster, looked at the coaching, and said, "we can do better than that, even if we don't upgrade the players immediately." Ron keeps saying he likes the young players on the roster. Jack had nothing to gain by throwing Manusky under the bus publicly. However, privately, I'm sure there is a lot of "what in the world were they doing???" going on during film study. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

Like the DL was funneling the play to one spot, but the fill LB was really slow getting there. That could be due to bad players. It also could be due to just horrendous preparation. Game day coaching and scheme is one thing, however I just don't think this team ever prepared correctly under the previous coaching staff. Part of that is on the players, no question. However, preparing the team to play is a HUGE component of the coaches job. And the number of times it looked like miscommunication and players slow to react was just astounding. You just don't see that on well prepared and coached teams. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Berggy9598 Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Who decided Ioannidis doesn't have " elite physical traits"? I'd like to see someone without "elite physical traits" toss an NFL guard from gap to gap with one arm or bull rush 300 + pounds 7 yards into the backfield. 7 hours ago, OVCChairman said: I'm trying to wrap my head around how this line can be so good, and we can be so bad.

Going from NFL DC to a college defensive quality control assistant? That's like going from being the CTO of one company to being 1st level tech support at another. Either he figured he had plenty of money and went the Lester Burnham route and found the easiest job with the least responsibility possible, or he's just that goddamn bad at coaching football.

method man Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 The reason they didn't move on from Manusky was they were afraid they'd lose Tomsula too. Glad Tomsula's whiney one foot in one foot out ass is gone. Link to post Share on other sites
wit33 Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Have to believe money was a primary factor in many of the coaches and front office executives keeping their jobs after the 2018 season.

How that crew was chosen to lead the skins is beyond me Dan was an idiot and hired His buddy Bruce. Bruce was an idiot and hired His buddy Jay. Jay was an idiot and retained his buddy Haz, hired His buddy Barry, then promoted his buddy Manusky and when he probably wanted to ax Greg, couldn’t find anybody to take the job. Ryan would have been no better. Most of the folks on the defensive staff were bad. So, basically it comes down to one idiot hiring a buddy idiot. its just a pitty none of these guys had better buddies. 10 hours ago, wit33 said: Have to believe money was a primary factor in many of the coaches and front office executives keeping their jobs after the 2018 season.

They honest to God thought thought with Case or Colt they could press for the playoffs. They were the only ones. Actually, I kinda think one reason Bruce got whacked is because Dan was reading all the negative predictions about the team going into the year, and Bruce convinced him it was just negative media stuff. Then it all came true. Edited May 14, 2020 by Voice_of_Reason 3 Link to post Share on other sites
