Redskins vs. Bengals Post Game Reaction

[SBXVII]

Our major problem is Defense at this point. But in their defense.... they carried this team for years. Something needs to get fixed though on the defensive back field though.

Not that it matters though but I figured we would have won these 3 games. Suprised the Saints, and beat the Rams and Bengals easily. I guess I was totally wrong.

DeAneglo Hall is making $6 million right now with a $600k release fee. I say we start there this offseason.

I see people are finally realizing what I said from the beginning when they signed him instead of extending Rogers. Thanks Vinny!

I can't even blame the whole defense. The LBs have been playing basically lights out.

I honestly can't figure out what's wrong with the defense this year. They're basically the same defense from last year save a few moves here and there. But somehow we've gone from 13th ranked last year to currently 28th.

I think the thought process was if we can get a really good DL to push the pocket or rush the QB then the back end really won't matter. however they did address the Safety spot but ended up with two players who are injured. Go figure.

If you recall, this defense was around 30th the year before...weve got serious problems with not much hope on defense unless something significant changes, such as scheme, coaching, or talent...and that is hard to change midseason...but in yr 3, we should be holding teams under 20 pts easy...if we did, wed be undefeated. I feel bad for RG3 and all skins fans

If we held opponents under 30 points we'd be undefeated. Not gonna happen. This is by far the worst secondary in the league, and the worst the Redskins defense have looked, maybe ever.

What exactly did they carry us to? They were ranked 30th just 2 years ago.

Last year they were 13th though. Our defense has always been up and down, but this is basically the same defense from last year.

Who cares what the rank was. How many games did we win last year? This team wasn't a good one last year and the defense was part of that.

Rank is important because the defense WASN'T bad last year. Don't be obtuse.

Um, those losses were mostly contributed to the sorry arse who played QB with 2 INT's per game. Otherwise we were within 7 points in each loss, except 2 games which were blow outs.

we were an average defense last year. no more no less. the defense has regressed this year because we simply can't cover anyone. the safties we have should all be full time back ups. hall has never covered anyone in 5 years. haslett should never leave his corners one on one w/ no safety help cause he knows they won't hold up. that first play of the game was on him. where was the safety help and why was a safety covering their best wr one on one?

Secondary is terrible. Defensive coaching is bad. Offense is good with the exception of our offensive line, which is absolutely atrocious. Their defensive ends were consistently able to generate pressure against our tackles. Fortunately we were able to mitigate that threat a bit by getting RG3 out of the pocket, but if grossman had been back there we would have been lucky to score 20 points.

I told my buddy before the game that we'd have to double AJ green the whole game to have any chance. What does Haslett do? Play single man coverage with Hall against Green and stand off him 10 yards. Sure I understand you don't want to get beat deep, but THAT'S WHY YOU DOUBLE HIM! And people are surprised when he gets ~200 yards... WHO ELSE ON THE BENGALS IS A THREAT!?

That'd be Gresham who was abusing Fletch all game long (and no one is saying anything) or Hawkins who burned Crawford (which no one is talking about either).
