NFL Insider: Washington more contender than pretender

I liked the article thanks sand trap... Let’s hope Charley Casserly
is right. This could be a fun year being a Redskins fan.

Good read. I always thought that Casserly didn't have that much knowledge of football, on-the-field.

But this article has changed my mind somewhat on him. His most insightful comments (among others) were about the Defense:

"The defense has also continued to develop. Most of their players have been healthy. Changes they made from last year at MLB (London Fletcher), OLB (Rocky McIntosh) and safety (LaRon Landry) all have greatly benefited the defense.

The other changes made to the defense have been more of scheme or technique in nature and have proved successful. There is more of a reliance on zone defense to help eliminate the big plays that hurt them so much last year, and a change with the defensive linemen to allow them to play a more upfield game, thus resulting in more pressure on the quarterback when they only rush four men, which is essential if you are going to play zone defense."
