Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

I know this season is rapidly going down the toilet but eff it. Man the defense is playing good. I feel for those guys man. They only allowed the Chiefs to put up what 4 field goals? They were on the field a majority of the game and still didn't give up a TD. That's just plain old nasty punch you in the mouth football.

So here's to you Defensive players of the Washington Redskins, all of you! Good mother effing job. Don't worry about that BS about not getting turn overs and scoring points. Y'all didn't get drafted to catch or run the football. I've got much love for you cats! I'll buy you a cold beer any day of the week.

Except for our weak corners.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

How many TDs?

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Haynesworth spent the entire day in KCs backfield. May have been his best game this year.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Love it

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Totally agree. The Defense is good. I wish to god the D Line would line up against Danny Boy (center), Zorn (QB), Hixon (RG), Sherm (Tackle), Vinny (RB), Bingo Caller (Tackle), and Larry Michael (LG) full pad pratice at FED EX field this week sometime and just run plays for 3 hours. I much rather watch that than this f-ing horrible Offense.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Too bad it's looking like another year where the defensive efforts are wasted on a shit offense.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Defensive line was awesome today. The pass rush was spectacular. The Chiefs offensive line was actually way worse than ours.

Orakpo now has what --- 4.5 sacks? Imagine if we lined his up every play at DE where he belongs.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Great job against the woeful Chiefs. Let's see how they do next week against the pissed off Eagles.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

It's an improved unit from last year. Possibly much improved, but we'll need to see it against a good quarterback before I can go that far.

You seem to be so negative when it comes to the defense, even though they clearly are at least one level above the offense and campbell. But you seem to excuse campbell's play to something other than what campbell is doing.

No one was being negative in this thread before you jumped in. I simply pointed out that they've been very good, but they'll get tested in coming weeks.

Just for today.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Good thread. One can nitpick things about the D but basically the D has brought it again and again every week. We can be proud of the defense.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

I can't believe we are thrilled about what the defense did against the winless Chiefs.....Ohh I mean the 1-5 Chiefs. This whole thing is nothing short of EMBARISING.

:food-smil[/quote] Nice thread , our D Trampled them . Our best Def effort of the year IMO . Next offseason , we add 1-2 OL , draft 1or2 more , we could have a decent team next year ...

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

yea our defense is doing well...but im still in wait and see mode. Our strength of schedule so far is the biggest joke I've ever seen. Im pretty confident were going to get crapped on for the next 12 weeks (except for oakland)

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

The D is pretty good. It's hard to have a good D in this league w/ a crap offense. They are on the field the whole game. They've got to defend alot more plays which equals more yardage against them. I don't know that they can hold up when our offense scores 6 pts against the league's worst defense.

Haynesworth has had a very good year so far. Orakpo is very good. Carter has come on as well. Rogers/Hall play to far off of the opponents WR's and not even coaches can explain why. I guess we'll never know. They are ok, but not great. LF is a manbeast. Is Laron Landry still on our team? I forget since i never hear his name.

Very good defensive effort. Yes, too bad, since we have a bad offense, again.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Carlos Rogers was just getting chumped all day by Cassel and Bowe. Poor poor game by LOS.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Haynesworth was an f-ing animal today. The next coach is going to salivate when they see the tape on him.

They should probably bench Phat Albert the rest of the year and just work on conditioning for next season.

Did I mention that I hate Snyder?

The D gets tested every time the O goes three and out, gets handed scoring opportunities and field position and fails to capitalize, when we muff punts or get them blocked when they are constantly defending a short field etc...

So Trip you make your observations through whatever shade your glasses are, while a growing number of people OBSERVE your biases week in and week out.

Rogers was dog shit today. I almost wondered if he let Bowe go on purpose on that 3rd down.

Way to play for a contract, Ronnie Garvin...

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

A team is a team you win and lose together if the defense or offense plays great and the other side stumbles you'll probably lose 9 out of 10. This is not basketball it is rare that one guy can take over a game if everyone on the other side of the ball is doing their job. Bottom line we are not playing well enough but in response to the thread I think the defense could get a little love this week.

The O doesn't stumble, it drops a deuce for the D to clean up.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Got to give props to the Defense. They know that our offense cant bust a grape and they still give it their all out on the field. Since the Lions game the Defense has stepped up their game. Carlos Rogers is palying weak thus far so you need to step your game up LOS or your ass is gone next season. Albert,Carter, Orakpo, Daniels, and Jarmon put it down. Right now watching the Redskins appears that the defense is out on the field the entire game. This can not be a good sign. Defense keep bringing it on game day.

Yeah that's the best sentiment. I hope this d has a good 1-4 years of great football left in it because I feel like minus a few things (LOLB, MLB when Fletcher eventually retires, Daniels when he retires; hopefully Jarmon is ready to be a full time DE by then) we could have the pieces in place for a while. The biggest thing is fielding an offense that can score without having to rely on the d to win the game.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

[quote=53Fan;611288]I'm in no mood for love. :madani:[/quote]

ditto. A real step up performance would have been shutting them out. (ok 2 points) and scoring a defensive TD. I believe it's now 23 games or so without one. Yes they can keep a 1-5 team out of the endzone, but NE kept Tennessee scoreless. Scoreless. Even our offense could win then.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Hopefully our D is still good by the time we get an O that can score. We're not exactly looking hopeful in some positions over the next few years.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

when it counts our defense sits 10 yds off the ball and gives up first downs.

[quote=tryfuhl;611548]Hopefully our D is still good by the time we get an O that can score. We're not exactly looking hopeful in some positions over the next few years.[/quote]Well, we're a lot younger than we were last year. Problem is, our young players aren't necessarily talented.

The 2008 draft is the posterchild for this, but you can look at the quality of the undrafted talent as well.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

This defense is the only reason all potential HC candidates won't avoid us like the plague. Instead they'll look at us like a really hot girl with swine flu.

I will say though that Haynesworth is definitely proving his worth. Very little chance Carter gets back to back 2 sack games without the big man in the middle. The only thing that worries we though is finding out how hard he's willing to play for a loosing team. He's already proved that he was a huge reason the Titans went 13-3 last year.

What this team really needs right now is the ability to play smash mouth football to compliment the defense. It's the piece that every team that wins with defense has.

Anyone who doesn't know what Haynesworth has shouldn't be here.

Exactly, our youth is Tryon, Barnes, a couple of LBs, WRs, etc

We can look forward to Orakpo, Jarmon, Horton, etc.. but which of the CBs, LBs, WRs, OL, etc do we know will even be on our squad in the near future.. or anybody else's?

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

the defense is great, it could be even more better if they were more motivated to stop the opposing offenses, since they are so used to getting back on the field after our offense goes 3 and out, the more our offense does that the less motivated our defense becomes. Our team could be pretty scary if we scored more than 17 points a game!

and from such an analytical mind...I put about as much confidence in that statement as I put in all of your other analysis. Only you didn't come up with that did you. I think one of your boyfriends said it first.

Re: Can we get some love for the Defense?
 

Trip if your going to spout off all the time at least say something original. Or is that not statistically possible.
