Reports on both Culliver and Johnson from former teammates and coaches is that they are disciplined in their assignments. They should both boost our defense along these lines.

[skinsguy]

I remember when the sentiment was that fans would rather have a strong offense that can score a lot of points, rather than a defense that can keep the other team out of the end zone. Well, we've had that for the past few years now, and it hasn't worked. I think we're seeing that what always makes a team strong is solid offensive and defensive lines, and an overall solid defense. Hopefully Scot finds some offensive linemen in the draft, but I'm really liking what I'm seeing in this offseason.

Can't wait to see what Johnson is made of. Sounds like a very solid addition to special teams, and quite possibly the safety help we have needed for a long time. Love how competitive he sounds.

“That’s my plan—to come in and compete for the starting job,” Johnson told Larry Michael on Redskins Nation. “I don’t want anything handed to me. [I’m going] to come in and compete. I’m just going to be me. I can’t promise you anything but me, Jeron Johnson. I’m a competitor. I want to compete and I want to win.”

I just noticed how badly Evan Royster missed his block on Johnson as he was flying through the hole. that was really on him.

Redskins CB Chris Culliver has charge reduced to misdemeanor
by Dave Peters | CBSSports.com
Newly signed Redskins cornerback Chris Culliver had his charge of felony possession of brass knuckles reduced to a misdemeanor on Tuesday, according to the Mercury News.

Culliver signed a four-year, $32 million deal with the Redskins earlier this month. He still has a charge pending involving one count of midemeanor hit-and-run. These charges were incurred while the cornerback was a member of the 49ers.

The 26-year-old was second on the 49ers' defense with four interceptions in 2014. For his career he has 127 total tackles, 35 passes defensed, seven interceptions and two forced fumbles.

Good news.

Scot McC on his approach to free agency this year:

“We were like, let’s get some good players at the right price,” McCloughan said. “It’s not, go out and sign one or two guys and think, ‘OK, we’re that close to being a playoff contending team.’ We’re not. We’ve got to start building and building. Age was important. Medical history was important, and the contract was important.

...

We want to be able to run the ball, be able to pound the ball and get that D-line to want to quit and understand that when you play the Washington Redskins, we’ll come at you no matter what.””

He also noted that this year's draft is deep in O-Linemen, not so much in safeties.

Good stuff. It all sounds good. Unfortunately, gonna take a few years to actually build the talent and depth to pull it off.

SM is doing what he said he would do. Now we know what to expect. It's great to have a GM who tells you his team-building philosophy, makes a plan, and then sticks to his plan.

We fans are just going to have to be patient as he works his plan. More importantly, Dan Snyder needs to be patient for the plan to work.

I am very much looking forward to seeing more emphasis put on the power running game. I realize that the game has changed a lot since the 1980's and the NFL is now primarily a passing league but the power running game is still the kind of football I enjoy the most.

For me, John Riggins running behind the Hogs was the ultimate in Redskins football. Power running is in the Redskins DNA as represented by RBs like Larry Brown, Stephen Davis, and Clinton Portis and OLs like Russ Grimm, Joe Jacoby, and Mark May.

At this point, I think it's safe to assume that any OL we draft will be a very large man who is known for his run blocking.

Well, Dallas and Seattle, the top two rushing teams in the league, won a lot of games last year thanks to their running game. Our team has historically been a running team, and we need to get back to that.

Good point. Beast Mode!

[skinsguy]

Loved what I read about Scot McCloughan's plan. Sounds like the 'skins are still not done in free agency, and sounds like he's going to try and address the offensive line with the draft. I believe the team will be improved next year, but I think you'll see better strides in year two or three under McCloughan. By that point, we'll know if Gruden is our guy in regards to coaching, and of course if RGIII or Cousins is the quarterback of the future.

Very simply ... Patience Daniel-san.

Awesome , brilliant and simple !! Balance Daniel-son , balance !

I go with a #1 cb slightly over the nt knighton move. All have been great though.

[MTK]

What I really like about the moves so far is we're seeing a commitment to being a tough, physical team that plays with some attitude.
