It would be nice next april to not have to draft for need . The way our D looks , I just wish we played the cowpukes opening day !!

Ill say it now where already in the top 10 probably in 4th in Rushing stop and 1st in pass D

The defense looked good, but still not alot of qb pressure. No qb pressure and your chances for intersceptions diminish. Our ability to get turnovers will be huge for us to have a successful season.

taylor need to wrap his arms around the runner instead of trying to blow the man up. Taylor is the least of our problems

Exactly. Taylor is now way one of our problems on defense he just needs to wrap up, and make tackles, instead of going for huge hits all of the time. He had way to many missed tackles last season, and I don't want to see that happen to Taylor again this season.

These guys look good. I'm to worried about pressure and turnovers. It will come when GW dials up the blitzes in the regular season. Landry, Rocky, Blades, Golston, Cooley, Taylor, Campbell man it is good to see our draft picks playing well. Shows where we probably could be if we drafted more and worried not about free agents.

I like our guys though. HAIL!!

Is it just me or has Rogers put on some muscle? He looks ripped compared to last year. Also, Landry is disgusting fast. I don't think there's a faster safety in the league.

This defense has a chance to be scary good like it was in 2004. We still need to see how we fare injury wise on the defensive side of the football, and we still need to face a real good offense to get an actual indication...and albeit its just the first two preseason games so what do we really know? But everything just reminds me of the 2004/2005 defense that we had here. I thought our front four was at least putting pressure on the QB last night, whereas last year, it was like our opponents offensive line was playing on air.

The D is flying around again, seems that they've got their mojo back. This D might not end up being as good as it was in 2005, but I think it's going to be pretty damn close.

Yes, it's just a preseason game, and doesn't mean anything..................EXCEPT, ALL of us need something really good as a sign of life from our sainted Redskins. At the moment, they are providing it!
IMO, they're the real deal

i love watching London coach up Rocky. You can see them discussing things before every play. I get very excited for Rocky who is learning from one of the best.

[MTK]

Despite what Taylor says he's clearly slimmed down. I still don't think it will hurt his hitting ability. He just didn't have a clean shot on the Pitt. RB, it wasn't like he mowed him over.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

I think the defense will finish in the top 12 this season.

Hail to the Redskins and the second g is for genius!

I hope to God that Washington is o.k.

Chill dude. It's just two preseason games. Things are looking good so far but let's wait til the regular season starts.

The guys in the Secondary really looked great on Saturday night. These guys are real punishers in the open field. I really just hope and pray that the injury bug doesn't come and bite us again. 2 more preseason games to get through.

HB Blades is a real draft pick for us as well. It seems that LB is one of the strongest points of our team, as well as safety, and CB. What is concerning me though is the lack of offensive production. I don't want to see a repeat of 2004 were our Defense was strong but Offensively we were anemic. Hopefully the emergence of Portis and our running game will come in the first week of the season, and really open things up for us in the passing game.
