Putting the Redskins in Perspective

[GMScud]

I totally agree with the first post as far as the trenches are concerned.

I've said it forever. Run the ball and stop the run. That's it. If you can do that, everything else is easy.

I count three guys on the OL that were brought in. That whole line, less CS, of course is not holding up well, and CS has a bad wheel.

I count three guys brought in on the DL with Griff on the IR.

Unless you can't stop the pass. Then you're just the 07 Vikings.

True, but a dominant defensive line can make a secondary look alot better. If the QB has to get rid of the ball quick, then you only have to ask your secondary to cover for a few seconds which most can do. If your defensive line sucks and the QB has time, then even the best cornerback is going to give up passes against the good WRs.

I suppose I should have prefaced my statement with "if you have a decent secondary." But your point is well taken.
