Redskins trade for Free Safety Dashon Goldson

If you think about what Goldson's good at, it's reading and reacting to plays in front of him, and laying dudes out with snot-bubbler hits. He's not a center-field angel like we had with Sean Taylor (who was simultaneously the best hitter we've ever had).

So Goldson's success with us will come down to our pass rush. If the QB has time and he's asked to cover deep then we'll get gashed some. But if we're in the QB's face with pressure (like we could be with Kerrigan + Fowler), then Goldson will be there to lay out punishing hits and force fumbles.

Coverage skills not so much, but tackling? Massive upgrade.
