Around the NFL week 11

I argued with a Ravens fan, all week that the Redskins defense was better than thier 4th place suggests. The offenses that we have faced are far better than the Ravens have faced. I am still hoping for a miracle.

Nah, we're probably nowhere near what that #4 rank suggests.

We HAVE played a bunch of good offenses, but we've also played a lot of inept offenses as well. In fact, we've played nothing but inept offenses since we played Philly over a month ago. Overall, our competition has been pretty close to league average.

Last year, our pass defense was phenominal. This year, not so much. The combination of less cover two/more man coverage, plus Fred Smoot's play being far, far worse, plus Landry not exactly being Sean Taylor back there, it's opened up a bunch of big plays in the passing game for teams that aren't that great at throwing the football.

We have 4 great players in our secondary: Rogers, Springs, Horton, and Landry, but if we're missing even one of them, there are huge gaping holes in our secondary that can be exploited.
