Wyvern Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Question: Do you think St. Juste will work out as a CB answer for Washington? He seems concussion-prone, and not aggressive enough to be a ball-hawk like Diggs. Also, it looked like he was more about minimizing YAC, and tipping the ball away, or was that just him learning the ropes as a rookie? I like him, but does WFT need to look for another CB, in case St. Juste doesn't work out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zim489 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 IMO they definitely should. I could see them easily moving on from one of Fuller or Jackson after this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 We need to add a top safety to pair with Curl. Keep McCain if ya want, but we need a starter at Free. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't want to be in a position to have to deal with either of them. There are so few OCs, DCs and assistants that actually "teach" techniques and schemes in a detailed format; they end up with the benefit of getting good players who are talented. McCarthy is a perfect example; everyone was on his scrotum about him being a great coach who knew what to do. yea, i'd bet there are more than a few fans who would prefer him leave and never come back. The Gibbs, Belichicks, Parcells of past days are so few and far between; also the mental aspect of getting a group of players to run through a wall for you as the mentioned were able to accomplish are almost impossible to find. Barry was a worthless sack and DelTaco could never maintain a good defense for more than a single season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I see this as great experience for him (interviewing) and might even be the idea. Gives him some prep for next year. If William Jackson plays like a CB1 and they keep McCain around, I can see the D playing a lot better next year. They need to have a stronger year as a unit for him to be a frontrunner. The NFL coaching world is small and he is a name to watch in a couple of years. Would be really nice for him to take over here, but probably a Kyle Shanahan/Sean McVay situation when Gruden was here. TL;DR The D being so awful this year has some upsides. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much appreciated. it also helps that from weeks 13-19 they only played one legit qb, Tom Brady. everything else was Pats 2x, Jets 2x, panthers, and falcons. not to argue dispute something that’s beside the point that we agree on, but the stat disparity would likely be greater if the schedule wasn’t that soft. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thought the Payne talk could go here. They have to trade him at this point, right? Last year the d-line underachieved massively and their were reports that assignments weren’t followed. If Payne is back, heading for FA, can we expect him to manage his part or will he do his own thing to pad his stats? I wouldn’t blame him, not intending to knock him. Letting Settle walk seems like a big miscalculation right now. I always thought he would leave, but I also thought he’d get a larger contract. Settle always seemed to flash, but he got very little snaps. Bunmi Rotimi almost had as many snaps. Perhaps the staff doesn’t believe that Settle can handle the workload that Payne did. Payne was a warrior for us. There are a handful of DTs on the street. Some names out there, but they could be washed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seantaylor=god Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 With so much $ likely tied up in the Dline in the future it makes sense to get cheaper. They tried to sign Payne long term but he balked; I think he wants big money. If I can get a 3rd or multiple mid rounds picks I’m trading him.

Est.1974 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Payne is getting a decent salary on his option year, but part of me thinks he holds out for a new deal before the season. No doubt he wants a Jon Allen type deal. We’ve clearly looked at DL pre draft and I think we’d get a solid replacement day 2. But without getting more picks by either trading back....or trading Payne...that plan isn’t possible. We also aren’t paying all 4 DL first rounders. However, maybe the safest bet is to keep them all this year and go from there. Safe likely means we lose Payne win no return, which again is poor roster and asset management. Bit late to trade him now though prior to this draft isn’t it ? I’ll be pissed if we botch this again then end up with Allen and Star L as starting tackles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...honestly, how strong is that strength really? I mean, they've underperformed to date. Maybe I'm in the minority but I don't see our D line as anything for our opponents to really fear. So, consequently, to see a few members leave (who will be replaced) that never did much anyway, just doesn't make me worry too much.

Renegade7 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 16 hours ago, Redskins Diehard said: Doesn't matter if Settle and Ion are starters elsewhere. They weren't going to be here and their cost was greater than their contribution. Every dollar that goes to DT depth cannot go to frontline WR. That's basic math in a salary cap league. We'll see if Mathis cost is greater than his contribution. My bet is not only is his contribution greater than his cost... but also greater than both of the players he replaced. He'd have to be an all pro to be better then two starting caliber DTs, how good does he have to be to be better then three combined? My biggest problem isn't the concept of limited cap space, it's this insistence that one starting caliber DT is better then three, on top of Mathis nit even playing an NFL snap yet. Payne is gone at this rate, so yea, unless we add another DT, we are talking about a rookie replacing three starting caliber DT. Stop insisting this is much ado about nothing and anyone uncomfortable with the turn of events at DT for our team this offseason is a cynic or jus doesn't understand how the salary cap works. If he turns into a quality starter opposite Allen and allows us with still solid starters along the dline, which is entirely possibly, then we can talk about the actual lack of drop-off, because right now it's looking to be huge until proven otherwise and setting up to be very noticeable.

Ball Security Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Listened to Logan Paulson. He loves Mathis, says he’ll make Holcomb and Davis much better by keeping them clean. I struggle to see how the alignments will work. He talked about playing five man fronts with Mathis at the nose. When they do that, what does the back look like? 2LB, 2S, 2CBs? Does the back half play zones in those situations? Rivera has talked about Butler playing in nickel packages. What situations call for three safeties versus three corners? In other words, what do you gain by having two corners and McCain, Curl, and Butler versus Jackson Fuller, St Juste, Curl, McCain/Butler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
