Phillip Daniels
 

P.D. had a very impressive performance today. 4 sacks, tying a Redskins record. But i have a question. Does his performance redeem himself in the eyes of the coaches and fans? I know a lot of fans that say we need to upgrade our pass rush in the offseason. With his latest performance, does that buy him another ticket for a spot on the roster next year? I respect P.D., and the leadership, and responsibility he brings to the team, but he hasn't been consistent all year. After a couple losses this season i know a lot of people, including myself, were blaming the pass rush.

Well I still want PD on the roster next season. Always have. He's a solid player. Jack of all trades, master of none basically. We still need a dominant pass rusher though.

Phillip Daniels is good, not great, but good. He was a force when he played with the Bears and he definitely has the potential to put up some numbers. I definitely think that he a good starting lineman in this league and that he will be playing here next year, but we need a legitimate, every down threat if we want a fearsome d-line.

4 SACKS, I loved how I saw him gain confidence on the field after he got a few.

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

he seems to bat a lot of passes

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

against any other team, no. against dallas, hell yeah!!!

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

I think the coaches like Daniels, but he really benefitted from weak o-line play. Still, it was great to see and about time! Just shows what a pass-rushing end can do for this D. We'll see if Daniels is back--depends on the price, as always...

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

would be good in some sort of rotation but was going against a rookie sunday

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

actually i think all four sacks were against torrin tucker. the rookie is on the other side of their line. either way, i bet you torrin tucker won't be on dallas' roster in the offseason.

let him start until someone better comes along

PD is a quality depth guy but we still need a top-level pass rusher. One thing they talked about on the post game show was how we had faced an inordinate amount of max-protect schemes this year compared to most other teams. Max-protect is really going to cut down on your d-line pressure. Plus we have had so many injuries on defense that it has been hard to apply pressure from other places since the scheme has needed modification to protect some of the backups that were playing a little more.

Daniels didn't turn into a pass rushing demon in one game, he greatly benefited from going up against a horrible OL and a statue in Bledsoe who holds the ball way too long even when he feels the pressure.

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

While that is true Matty, I think/hope it will spill over into the next game.

We'll see.

And of course, having Griffin back makes things so much easier for everyone. We haven't had a DT like this since Butz.

Re: Phillip Daniels
 

Wooooooo, Dave Butz!

I still remember that helmet!!
