Giants vs. Redskins Defensive GT Review: Suprisingly effective DL does little good

[GTripp0012]

Here's a really interesting option for the three shade that I totally forgot about:

Phillip Daniels.

I would DEFINITELY like to see that tried out. I like Griff but he's injured quite a bit. A line of Evans, Daniels, Montgomery, and Carter with Golston coming in occasionally and JT in Marcus's spot would be interesting. I would hate to see Marcus leave but with his injuries and salary it may be inevitable. I don't want to come across as the mad scientist here but it would be interesting to see how that would work out.

Just to get your opinion on the matter, if Daniels comes back and is 100% do you see him back in a Redskins uniform next year? I know Blache is a big fan of his.

If he is still every bit as in good shape as he was this season, I think he's safe on this team. Like I said, I don't think Jason Taylor is a Blache guy and I think on this team, he's not a DE on first and second down, at least if Carter is healthy.

I think if it comes down to Daniels and Lorenzo Alexander in training camp next year for the 9th DL position, I think it's Daniels.

How could you forget Daniels! It will be interesting to see how Daniels and Buzbee recover from major injuries. I haven't heard any update lately on either one.

I am more and more impressed with Alexander though, he's solid.

Alexander is definately the absolute prototype for a 4th defensive tackle. He cost the team nothing to draft or sign. He's good enough to start a game if you need him in that role. He's got situational value even if all three guys ahead of him are healthy AND he plays in the goal line packages on offense and on special teams.

I think we'd get killed on the interior if we had to start Alexander the whole year, but as the 4th DT, he's a pretty quality asset and definately worth a roster spot as long as he's one of the four best defensive tackles on the roster.

Buzbee probably got hurt by Daniels' injury more than anyone else because going into the year he had a legitimate chance to be what Demetric Evans has been for us this year. Unfortunately, Daniels injury caused us to go out and get Taylor, and the chances that Buzbee (even with age on his side) outlasts both Taylor and Daniels on the roster has to be pretty small.

Good points about Monty, still not sold on him but not opposed to seeing more him to get a tougher push from the line.

As for Blache, I would agree with your previous points that he may have overblitzed during the first half when we got burned. Eli had great reads and he should've altered his game plan.

hopefully we aren't getting the egomaniac of Williams in Blache...But also aren't many coaches like this anways? They prefer certain players and others are in the doghouse.

I am not fully ready to believe Betts and Davis cannot contribute right away, just Zorn isn't really feeling them right now..

Yeah, I suppose. This never really occurred to me and I'm not sure why.

Blache does have a strange attachment to University of Georgia defensive linemen (Evans, Daniels, Golston). I was joking with one of my buddies that the Skins are going to draft Matthew Stafford, and then play him at defensive end.

I guess he doesn't have much say in the draft process, otherwise we'd probably have Quentin Groves...

Do you guys think it says something about Blache's player evaluation that he can't seem to find the right mix of D-lineman to play together, even though it seems we have the pieces for a damn good line? As good as our secondary can be, it's annoying to think we have a potentially great front and can't find the right player combos....

To me it looked like Eli made some perfect throws. The TD to Toomer was just perfect. Not too much anyone could've done about that. Smoot seemed to be in pretty good position.

He is hella accurate and made some great throws in the conditions.

Still, when the ball's up there that long, I'd like to see somebody make a play on it.

Wow, good post GT. Too big for me to comprehend all of it at once. I'll come back later.
