Washington Football Team Defense 2021

[Chief X_Phackter]

The D carried this team as far as they could last year. All I'm saying is the offense has to take a couple steps forward for them to compete this year, given the schedule. Not bashing at all...

I think they will. One that can’t be much worse and we’ve made a lot of decent upgrades. We won’t be boring, that’s for sur.

Yes you are right, also keep in mind that last year was the first for a (defensive minded) coaching staff to really get to know all of its players strengths/weaknesses in THEIR system with THEIR coaching. Expect to see a giant leap and most of our star talent is young, expect MAJOR growth there...also, you can only play who your schedule allows...last year, there were games where our defense carried us single handly with an anemic offense

Also, as Ron Is building a power house defense, he’s also building a really good online, so we can play ball control football...using our speed pre-snap to run motions to help out running game too...as it makes the defense freeze for a second to make sure the WR doesn’t get the handoff as they run by

I don't know, do you draft and acquire so many small burners to play ball control? I mean you have to run well, playoffs especially, difficult to see our WR moves and not think we aspire to more old school go deep a lot kind of O. Gibbs mashed you with the run, and then when everyone cheated up to stop run, burnt you deep. Nightmare for a D. It is interesting to ask exactly what kind of O our FO envisions.
