Redskins may sign Daniels and Wynn?

Giving credit where it is due though, the Horton INT in that game was Blache's best call of the season.

Anyway, Marcus only really fits in our defense on the Strong Side. If he's man covering anybody, it should be the fullback. Flat zone coverage, or let him get after the QB all the way.

I don't break down film to know why our SLB gets stuck in coverage, but it does seem to happen more at this position than both MLB and WLB. Basically my reasoning for switching Marcus, whether we kept him another year or not, was to avoid those situations. Also like I said elsewhere Rocky, from what little i've noticed, seems to do well in coverage (however he struggles in brute strength run stopping where Marcus is still effective). Anyway that's the idea behind swapping our guys... btw if Marcus is only suited for SLB i don't think he should be brought back cuz he's not effective there any longer. I still think he could be a force at ILB in a 3-4 system...
