Can we get some love for the Defense?

[cc47]

I can't believe we are thrilled about what the defense did against the winless Chiefs.....Ohh I mean the 1-5 Chiefs. This whole thing is nothing short of EMBARISING.

So here's to you Defensive players of the Washington Redskins, all of you! Good mother effing job. Don't worry about that BS about not getting turn overs and scoring points. Y'all didn't get drafted to catch or run the football. I've got much love for you cats! I'll buy you a cold beer any day of the week.

Nice thread , our D Trampled them . Our best Def effort of the year IMO . Next offseason , we add 1-2 OL , draft 1or2 more , we could have a decent team next year ...

yea our defense is doing well...but im still in wait and see mode. Our strength of schedule so far is the biggest joke I've ever seen. Im pretty confident were going to get crapped on for the next 12 weeks (except for oakland)

The D is pretty good. It's hard to have a good D in this league w/ a crap offense. They are on the field the whole game. They've got to defend alot more plays which equals more yardage against them. I don't know that they can hold up when our offense scores 6 pts against the league's worst defense.

Haynesworth has had a very good year so far. Orakpo is very good. Carter has come on as well. Rogers/Hall play to far off of the opponents WR's and not even coaches can explain why. I guess we'll never know. They are ok, but not great. LF is a manbeast. Is Laron Landry still on our team? I forget since i never hear his name.

Very good defensive effort. Yes, too bad, since we have a bad offense, again.

Carlos Rogers was just getting chumped all day by Cassel and Bowe. Poor poor game by LOS.

Haynesworth was an f-ing animal today. The next coach is going to salivate when they see the tape on him.

They should probably bench Phat Albert the rest of the year and just work on conditioning for next season.

Did I mention that I hate Snyder?

No one was being negative in this thread before you jumped in. I simply pointed out that they've been very good, but they'll get tested in coming weeks.

The D gets tested every time the O goes three and out, gets handed scoring opportunities and field position and fails to capitalize, when we muff punts or get them blocked when they are constantly defending a short field etc...

So Trip you make your observations through whatever shade your glasses are, while a growing number of people OBSERVE your biases week in and week out.

Rogers was dog shit today. I almost wondered if he let Bowe go on purpose on that 3rd down.

Way to play for a contract, Ronnie Garvin...

A team is a team you win and lose together if the defense or offense plays great and the other side stumbles you'll probably lose 9 out of 10. This is not basketball it is rare that one guy can take over a game if everyone on the other side of the ball is doing their job. Bottom line we are not playing well enough but in response to the thread I think the defense could get a little love this week.

The O doesn't stumble, it drops a deuce for the D to clean up.

Got to give props to the Defense. They know that our offense cant bust a grape and they still give it their all out on the field. Since the Lions game the Defense has stepped up their game. Carlos Rogers is palying weak thus far so you need to step your game up LOS or your ass is gone next season. Albert,Carter, Orakpo, Daniels, and Jarmon put it down. Right now watching the Redskins appears that the defense is out on the field the entire game. This can not be a good sign. Defense keep bringing it on game day.

Yeah that's the best sentiment. I hope this d has a good 1-4 years of great football left in it because I feel like minus a few things (LOLB, MLB when Fletcher eventually retires, Daniels when he retires; hopefully Jarmon is ready to be a full time DE by then) we could have the pieces in place for a while. The biggest thing is fielding an offense that can score without having to rely on the d to win the game.

ditto. A real step up performance would have been shutting them out. (ok 2 points) and scoring a defensive TD. I believe it's now 23 games or so without one. Yes they can keep a 1-5 team out of the endzone, but NE kept Tennessee scoreless. Scoreless. Even our offense could win then.
