I'd say the one guy that they MUST replace is Williams. He's just too slow to play in the NFL. Hopefully we can get a pass rusher too. No pass rush = no pass defense.

We have a pass rusher, he's on IR.

As I've mentioned repeatedly, safety is our number one need this offseason. Although not ideal, we could live with our current CBs with good safeties. While I expect a new starter (or two) at CB next season, it won't mean squad if we don't get a starter-caliber FS.

Rak is fine but we another horse on the front 7 that can cave in the pocket. I think we're fine at corner. Perhaps we'll get lucky with one or two of the guys that are hurt/suspended, get one more in the draft/FA and then get a better rush. I firmly believe that if you can rush the passer then you can win. The Giants have proved that.

We know our offense can score at any time and win the game for us. Wait.....wow. How unbelievable is that? I'm so proud to be a Redskin fan. We have young depth on the oline...we'll be getting our injured guys on defense back next year...we just beat the Eagles-Cowgirls-Giants-Ravens on a 4 game winning streak...and we're in the playoff hunt. Morris is a beast..Young is a beast..Garcon..Morgan..it goes on and on and on.
I admire Joe Gibbs so much and I always will...but I gave him hell alot of times when he was here the first go round and he gave us 3 SB trophies. I never was a big fan of Shanahan and had huge doubts about him when he got here. Our defense is lacking big time and it needs to be addressed. But we're building something here. My God the last 4 weeks have been surreal compared to what I've been accustomed to. This year is the first year since I don't know when that we've made such a big step towards being the kind of team we've all been hoping for. It's not perfect..it never will be so I'll still bitch from time to time, especially until this defense gets better, but I have to say the Shanahans..Bruce Allen..even Snyder and many more have gotten us to a place I had begun to doubt we'd ever see again. Just wanted to get that off my chest.

What a difference 4 weeks makes.

I am glad to hear that. I do think that Griffin is a lot more flexible due to being an olympic hurdler. They were showing his pregame routine, and his knees were going up down and every direction, it hurt this couch potato just watching it.

That plus the fact that he has rehabilitated successfully from an ACL gives me a lot of hope that his body will hold up while he learns the ins and outs of NFL body protection.

We need a new defense... Linebackers, corners, 3-4 de, depth at nose tackle, and of course safety we could also use a playmaker on the offense and Tyler the right tackle was trash yesterday

I think we are set at DE, although we need a NT badly. We'll need a replacement for Fletcher soon at LB, but unless something different happens I think we're set at OLB. It'll be good to see what some of the young CBs can bring and possibly replace Hall as a starting CB. But free safety is the position where I think the team should consider spending money/resources to get.
