Redskins sign DE Stephen Bowen

[Slingin Sammy 33]

Cofield and Bowen are very good signings. Keep in mind, we're only in the 3-4 base maybe 40-45%. We'll be in plenty of even fronts. I think we'll be using Cofield/Bowen/Carriker/(maybe some J. Jenkins) as our DEs in odd fronts. I think we'll see Bryant/Neild/J. Jenkins at NT.

We've gotten much younger and more athletic in our front 3. Very good thing.

If we can pick up a G and T well be in good shape.

It's more like 65%-70% isn't it? Certainly not every play, but the vast majority of first and second downs.

It seems to me you are unhappy that a proven, true-big-strong space eating NT has not been aquired and/or that the D-lineman that have been aquired are more of the attacking/gap shooting type and not the gap control/occupy lineman type.

I see the concern but not sure one of those was really out there except for Franklin - maybe they are just waiting for the market to cool down before going after him?

Majority of first downs. If our run D is solid, greater than 50% of 2nd downs should be passing downs. This doesn't consider 2 min & 4 min offense. My percentages are close to actual.
