Redskins Lions postgame

It was a top 10 defense when we ran a 4-3. I've never been a fan of the 3-4. Orakpo covering the TE on the 2nd TD would never be the case if we still ran a 4-3.

This comment was made in the game thread. You do realize that Orakpo was a OLB in the 4-3 when he first was drafted. There is a good chance he would have been in coverage on a 4-3 defense just as he would be in a 3-4.

He MIGHT have been, but wouldn't be now. I think he would be a much more successful DE.

Brian Orakpo was a 4-3 DE when he was at Texas. His hand was in the dirt pretty much every play in college.

I think people need to slow down some on the doom and gloom some. It sucks, but we actually played better today than either of the first two games. Some stupid turnovers by RG3 and a dropped TD was the difference today. We should have won but the mistakes on offense kept it from happening.
