Hoping Ron Rivera is the difference for you guys. Really do

Counterpoint: Our last HC couldn't hire a defensive coordinator worth a damn his entire tenure in DC.

Let's see what an actual defensive guy can do with the talent before we start wondering if they're busts.

Exactly! I called for Manusky's head two years ago. If sandtrap couldn't see the Redskins' D was poorly coached, then he's simply viewing things with Cowboys' lenses or doesn't know the game.

Rivera and JDR has proven themselves, particularly when working in conjunction. Let's see how they can work with this defensive group before taking this defensive front behind the woodshed.
