How could I possibly forget my main man Chis?!?! Greatest UFA signing [I]ever[/I]!!! (Okay, "tongue-in-cheek" font is off now).

I actually did forget about CW. It seems to me that Haslett's emphasis on DE's who can play OLB is a way for him to create match-ups and pressure.

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

I've seen a lot of Washington Post reports of Kedric Gholston being looked at as a starter for us and possibly being a NT, I don't know though if they meant a starter at DE and a back up at NT or vice versa.

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

Haysneworth has got to come back, or we will have zero true stating D-Linemen. Golston will be the nose because I dont trust Kemoeatu considering he is a 31 year old 350 pound man coming off a season ending injury to the lower half of his body. Besides that, I'd say carriker and daniels will start at DE. Olb is easy with orakpo, fletch, rocky, carter. I'm very unconfident in our D-line without Haynesworth, I don't see other d-lineman on our roster that has shown they can create any type of havoc in the backfield.

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

I am excited as hell with the potential of this defense being a freaking beast. If Haynesworth comes in and decides to play like he can from DE position and some DT, I think this could be really scary. With Daniels, Cariker, Kemo, Holliday I think we have a rotation and depth along the front 3 that could really cause problems in both running and passing downs. Plus with Orakpo and Carter rushing from the ends it could really be impressive to watch. Plus i really think Chris Wilson is going to be the most improved aspect of this defense. He just seems like an ideal fit for the OLB in the 3-4. Plus with Alexander, Gholston providing some depth I really think we have a hell of front. This Riley kid we drafted could surprise some people and get significant playing time in the middle as well and move Rocky to the outside and carter down with AH on the DE spot for obvious passing downs. I really like what the organization has done as far as getting guys that can play multiple postions and being versitile on what we can do and show so many different looks. Hell, even put daniels and Cariker at nose to provide some pressure up the middle.

I think it could be a pro bowl year for Hall too. I think the corners (except rogers) could get a number of picks having to cover receivers for shorter periods. Another thing is to see which safety plays ala the beast Palamalu in pittsburg. If our D is going to be very similar to theirs then that safety stands to make a ton of plays as well.. Well, be in a position to make a lot of plays.

Are you trading Carter and Haynesworth?
These were our 2 best linemen last year

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

Here's my lineup:

A. Carter OLB, R. McIntosh ILB, L. Fletcher ILB, B. Orakpo OLB

A. Carriker DE, Kemo M. NT, A. Haynesworth DE

I really would like to see another true NT being developed by the team. I'm not comfortable with the depth in this position.

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

Who knows. Wouldn't be surprised if we cut some of the probables before opening game and bring in some FAs.

I agree with this prediction.
However, I think Phillip Daniels may beat out Carriker

I am also in the agreement that Wilson should/will get more playing time at OLB. He was made for this scheme. Quick, agile, can rush the passer and i think he has enough speed to cover. Carter may be relegated to more of a DE position if wilson makes plays early in the season.

Re: Predict the front 7 starters
 

I really believe that we have the pieces in place to get this defense going. There will be some growing pains, but after a 3 or 4 games we should have a pretty good idea of what the Redskins defense will do.

Having Lou Spanos to coach up our LBs will be a huge benefit, and him with Haslet I am much less nervous about the switch than I was orginally.

Carter may become a situational rusher, but I believe he will be the starter and play the position better than he had previously in San Fran.

I am holding tru to my original post of my front seven.

Carter, Rocky, Fletch, Rak
Carriker/Daniels, Kemo/Gholston, Albert/holliday

The dline I chose to add our backups as well as I see things now.
