redskindan03 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Where does everyone think that the Skins defense will be ranked this season? I personally think middle of the pack wouldn't be too bad considering last years squad. :wewantd: :dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunny Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I'll be happy with anything above 15th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think we will be very good for sacks and turnovers because of the blitz packages. I also think that we will allow points and yards because of the blitz packages and giving up some big plays. Overall I think we will finish in the top 10, but it will take some bumps and bruises early on to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzlightbeer81 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 i think they should be top five really. There is a loooot of talent behind the D-line, such as two pro-bowl linebackers, if washington is as good as he looks so far, the probably defensive rookie of the year, solid CB's....and a defensive genius in Williams who can make a 2nd best D.

Hitman56 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The D line is too much of a problem to finish top 5. Maybe top 10 if we're lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. They should be ranked very high. I read that they are #4 right now in preseson. I know it doesn't mean much, but they are playing with a lot of intensity. Barrow and Lavar sat out the Dolphins game and they still pitched a shutout. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunny Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 For us to have a top 5 defense, we would have to have a top 3 rushing offense and be top 3 in turnover margin... ...scratch that, we're not going to have a top 5 defense but it may still be solid and good enough to get us to the playoffs.

Disco Dave Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I think we will be 12th. ranked team. Our players need to come out fired up. They need to be like a pack of rabid wolves. Or act like the other team just B.slapped there mom. If they play right and they can keep the intensity up, they could be in the top ten. To be all that we can be we need the players to stay healthy.

Mr. S Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 i hope we are just above the middle, but I think our defense could be really good this year. There's always the d-line question, but I dont think thatd be much a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunBunny Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The D-Line definitely is the key. I don't think you can be a dominant defense without a dominant line. We don't have one but these guys might be effective if they listen to Coach Williams and bring it every game. I kind of like what I've seen so far from these guys.

JoeGibbsIsBack Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Well, no touchdowns on the first team so far this preseason isn't bad at all. Especially when you consider all the starters havn't played together in any of the games. I say right now we could be looking at a top 10, who knows, maybe better. They'll get better as the season rolls on when they're comfortable with the new schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
