We would have had DB depth, that's what Wright was for. He wasn't brought in to be starting that's for sure. To be fair injuries have killed the secondary.

Re: this might be the worset team ever

I've seen a lot of teams worse than we are right now, but what I haven't seen is a team with so much promise at the beginning of the season fall so quickly from grace. Just a short time ago we had nothing but spirited acolades for this team and anticipation of an easy trip to post season and maybe beyond. Without a doubt that's why we are all so frustrated, as well as angry with the way this team has performed. What I'm most disturbed at is the fact we have so many problems in so many area's of this team, I wonder where we begin to fix them.

The most stunning part of all of this is that it's happening under Joe Gibbs. This is like Spurrier Part 2 than Gibbs Part 2. The only constant has been the owner. Although he's remained in the background, he's got to be having an impact. The Skins have been a bunch of underachievers throughout Danny Boy's reign as owner.

jeez, there's so many issues. QB is this first priority though. and cleaning up the cap situation for future use. a DT and pass rushing end would be nice too, and better db and lb depth.

injuries happen though, and if we had a SS that could cover (cough) maybe it wouldn't be so bad. you can't assume injury free seasons when both of your starting CBs are injury prone.

Of course injuries happen, but when the injury bug bites hard there's not much any team can do.

that's true. indy without peyton = less winning etc.

honestly, the defense got worse, but not THAT much worse... at least i don't really see where the huge vacuum opened in starting talent.

troy vincent has to be our starting SS for the rest of season though. Unless we're just getting arch experience for next year, but i just don't think he can read, react, and run fast enough for GW's D as a full time, every down player.

if they are not going to have Arch playing full time, then they need to dump his ass. you dont pay someone that kind of money to sit on the bench when the game is on the line. That kind of money signifies your ass should be on the field making a difference. Unfortunately for us, he is making a difference. He is letting the other team score at will

yeah, but it's cheaper to keep him then it is to let him go.
