Redskins may sign Daniels and Wynn?

Umm, wasn't this "Over the hill gang" ranked 4th last year w/o a half decent DT to push the middle of the pocket?

Now just take a moment. Digest it a moment. Maybe, just maybe, we can be 1st or 2nd ranked with Haynesworth to push the pocket. Hmmm, what a thought.

Of course the team needs to get younger. but until we actually have younger we can't go in to the season with nothing and hopefully they are like at vet min. especially since no one has probably been calling their agents wanting to sign them.

We have:
Andre Carter DE 8yrs
Cornelius Griffen DT 9yrs
Albert Haynesworth DT 7yrs

The rest are young:
Kedric Golston DT 3rys
Anthony Montgomery DT 3yrs
Chris Wilson DE 2yrs
Alex Buzbee DE 1yr
Rob Jackson DE R

You have 3 vets and 5 young players. If they pick up 1 or 2 from the draft or bring in undrafted players we should be good. Haynesworth will take up alot of space and anyone around him will look good.

To me rankings mean nothing unless you're a coordinator in a contract year. I'd be thrilled if we were ranked 15th in total defense if we led the league in scoring defense, sacks and turnovers. The things that matter are changing field position and preventing points from being put up on you.

and...that's exactly what the Skins are trying to fix. With Haynesworth pockets wil collapse causing the QB to have to run from sideline to sideline. If this happens Carter or whoever is on the other side will get a sack. If the opposing QB's try to step up "Sack, Haynesworth."

With all the facets put together hopefully it creates turn over by forcing the QB to throw the ball too soon or in a rush to avoid a sack. Other wise a sack backs them up and creates good field position for us. After their meager punt first. lol.

Well without sacks and scoring our D still was ranked 4th because we did prevent teams from scoring and thats the main thing that any D must do.
