I think Jackson and Meriweather were upgrades over what we had, but yet still a stop gap until we could find something better.

I'm not saying that Jackson was a wasted signing, but in a way he was. Is he in Washington because Raheem Morris is in Washington or because Bruce Allen drafted him? It's a shame that he's on suspension. Meriweather on the other hand hasn't been healthy all season. He hasn't played 1 game and I don't know if it matters or not if he ever plays this year. I think the Redskins need to DRAFT a couple of safeties next offseason since Jackson can't stop using drugs and Meriweather can't stay healthy.

No arguments there. I think our FO got the "best" FA safeties available during the off-season. It's just a shame that the "best" is still sub par.

I'm not sure if the results would have been drastically different, but I can't imagine a tandem of Jackson and Meriweather being any worse than what we've been putting out there. Who knows, they might have been adequate. We'd be in much better shape with just adequate play from the safety spot. So far it's been pretty atrocious.

Agreed. We dont need all pro's. we need serviceable. Man if we were just a little bit better in the secondary I think we could possibly be 7-0. Thats how close all these games have been. The Cruz throw. The first play against Cincy. Danny Freakin Amenwutever.

Actually Cooley mentioned on the Doc and Bmitch show today he was confident of making it with the team. He was not sure he could cut it with the TE ranks but assured he'd be a lock at Safety.........

Absolutely agree we are closer than we have ever been before. Even with the injury to Rak and Carriker, I think our front seven is solid ... not spectacular, solid. If the safety play were even adequate we would be in so much better shape.

Do you think it is safe to assume we draft for need in the second round or is there someone in free agency we should throw our money at. Also will jackson even be back on the team next year or are his playing days over? I mean we probably need to be looking for both a FS and a SS. A corner too.
Edit: gonna take these thoughts / questions to the free agency thread.

The fact of the matter is the Saints, Rams, Bengals, Falcons, Vikings, and Giants have scorched the Redskins secondary to death. The only time the defense has held a QB under 300 yards passing was against the Bucs and that was hardly impressive because Tampa Bay amassed only 1 yard short of 300 against the Redskins secondary.

Something needs to happen. Whether players are playing out of position or if the coaches are calling ineffective coverages, they need to fix the problem and soon. The Redskins are not in the division lead because of the defensive secondary. The Redskins have a losing record only because of the defensive secondary. The Redskins are in last place in the NFC East only because of the defensive secondary. The Redskins are not 7-0 or 6-1 only because of the defensive secondary.
