Defense = Disappointment

I am not saying AH sucks, I am not saying he's not that good. To the contrary he is a force in the middle.

But I am saying that by week 6, if he is STILL averaging only 4 tackles per game the Redskins could have gotten that production for much less money is all.

As much as I read forum members here complaining about over paying players in the past like Deion Sanders, Brandon Jacobs, Antwan Randle El etc etc I would think that you would understand my meaning.

I don't understand what you are trying to do here, other than stretch an overused criticism of our team. Last year Brandon Jacobs ran all over us, he was a non-factor this year. We did get pressure on Eli, he threw a pick and coughed up the ball.

The key is that the rest of the defense played poorly (secondary), the team made stupid mistakes (personal fouls), the play calling was terrible, and our offense fizzled again.

If AH is not there, the Giants would have blown us out on the ground and in the air.
