Great Blog about the D--Jason LaC

Jason LaC posted a preview of an article he's working on for the weekend. It's a VERY depressing piece about the defense.

Wow...I pretty much agree with all of that, however, I was hoping for something a little more confidence inspiring. And it's interesting that he makes the same point that I did about the Archuleta-Clark switch.

I think, however, that Carter could return to form as a defensive end. I think he would be a dominant LE. But I don't know if he's suited to be the type of top flight pass rusher they were hoping for. I think he'd be a 10 sack guy with anyone else on that line. That's not based on anything but one great season, I just think he has it in him.

I agree about carter. I was pretty high on him a couple years ago. The author thinks he suffered from playing LB last year. If we got freeney, carter would probably go wild.

I agree. He's been pretty spot on there, and it's pretty funny to boot.

Oh, I see. I'm new to blogs.

Great blog, thanks for posting it.

I agree with everything he said (unfortunately).

None of this should be a shock to anyone. I ripped the current defense several weeks ago and said that the 2004 unit was head and shoulders above this and the 2005 unit. All I heard was "Lemar is as good as Pierce... We don't need Smoot". Well guess what, the truth hurts and I wouldn't be surprised if we win 4 games this year.

Great read! Now that its ruined my day I am going to go drink some whiskey.

It bothers me that we can pay $10M bonuses for both Archuleta and Carter, but couldn't pony up when Pierce was a free agent. He was the QB and leading tackler on the #3 defense in the league, yet Gibbs let him walk, to a division rival no less. Ryan Clark should have been even easier to keep. I fine mess we have with Archuleta - the highest paid safety in the league, and he can't play a lick.

The worst is that these guys (Pierce, Smoot, Clark) would sign for even less than their FA deals if they were signed during the season. But you don't get to fly existing players in on Redskin 1.

This is a marketing maching, not a football team. I have a feeling that at least one bad thing is going to happen during the offseason (Williams leaves, Taylor holds out or both).

Like everyone else has said, he's right. It's gonna take a lot to fix our defense.
