I think everything but our second, which we traded for Cooley.

But we gave up a 3rd for Brunell. Didn't we give up a 1st for Portis too?

Everything we gave up was for this last draft. It was a second for portis btw.

Several guys on defense were quoted earlier this year saying that "We don't have a prevent defense". The fact that Testicleverde had enough time to throw one deep cost us the game. Most safeties will get burned in a cover two defense against a 4 WR set. I thought Gibbs coached well down the stretch. Having a top rated defense, you don't want too much pressure on a young QB.

OK, so free angency? Who's staying, who's being shown the door?

Antonio Brown won't even be given a bus ticket home. Smoot may be gone. Only his personality will be missed. It seems to boil down to having a legitimate pass rushing DE. That should free up our more athletic LBs. Nice FG 'attempt' by Chandler.

What do you mean his personality will only be missed. Give me a break. He has one somewhat bad game, and you wanna run him out of town. In my opinion he is the single most importnat peice to that defensive team.

There is no way Smoot goes. He's a core Redskin.

Why is this all Sean Taylor's fault? Many posts on this thread point to him getting burned because he's a rookie.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Shawn Springs the cornerback covering on that play?

Springs was covering the play in the flats, Taylor was supposed to be the saftey help over the top. Its hard to say whos fault it was without knowing the actual play assignments. I think it was Taylor that had that guy.

I agree, Beemnseven. Taylor damn near came back and made the play, while Springs Jammed at the line but then let the receiver go. Taylor was, after all, covering Keyshawn Johnson, and to his credit broke off of that coverage as soon as he recognized the deep pass. He was only a split second too late to either cause an incompletion or make the tackle. Springs was on the wide-out all the way and just got burnt. My argument is that they should have stayed with the blitz, which had been working so well, and not given Testaverde a chance to drop back and throw that perfect pass to begin with.

Well from what I saw and what the commentator pointed out, a lot of times our defense leaves the flats open. Running a two minute offense without any timeouts, DAL was likely to use the sidelines to control the clock, as supposed to throwing a completion in the middle of he field and having to spike the ball. This is the reason DAL was able to march down the field often in the second half. On the DAL TD, apparently G. Williams wanted to give Testicleverde a different look. From what I saw, Springs was playing a 'flat zone' (that's why he, with not much effort, jammed the WR before letting him release). Now if you remember, or if you watch the play again, there was a WR in the slot (Keyshawn?!) on the same side who ran a deep post. That put a lot of pressure on Sean Taylor as it would on any other safety in the league. And again, without a really good pass rush, that allowed the WRs to get deeper into the secondary where there was little help. I'll say it again. It would've been a better play if Springs would have blitzed. I expect G. Williams thought he could get an INT if a DAL WR ran a 'out' and Springs was playing a flat zone.
