Even 'Skins are hopeful in pre-season...

[AsthmaField]

As a matter of fact every great defense that I can think of had dominating DL... 4-3 defenses and 46 defenses, particularly. Of course the pressure, dominating players on most 3-4 defenses come from the LB's... so you'd have to include them if talking of 3-4 units.

Washington though plays a 4-3 with a smidge of 46 thrown in. Think of the great defenses:

70's Steelers: Steel-curtain, Joe Green, etc.
70's cowboys: Randy White, Too-Tall Jones, Harvey Martin, John Dutton
85 Bears: Dent, William Perry, Randy McMichael, Dan Hampton
80's Eagles: Jerome Brown, Reggie White, Clyde Simmons, Mike Golic, Mike Pitts.
Heck, even the best Commanders D had Mann, Manly, et. al.

All of those dominating defenses had terrific DL's. All of them.

You think the Commanders will be dominant on D with Carter, Salave'a, Golston, and Wynn/Daniels on the DL? Really?

lol winning games by 3 points gives you swagger?????

:laugh1:

only in Washington.


As a comparison the 1991-1995 Cowboys won their PLAYOFF games by an average of 18 points... that's what earns you swagger!

Coach Gibbs has one of the best December records in NFL history. I still get chills when our fearless leader led us to the playoffs in 2005 with "5 in a row or we don't go!" Our battlecry!

The Skins offense is missing its two best players right now, Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels. Samuels is a stud LT and Portis despite the issues from last year is still a top 10 back in this league in terms of talent.

How quickly people forget that Dallas stumbled two years ago when Flozell Adams went down and Flozell isn't even that good. Adding a veteran Pro Bowler back in to the lineup will help a great deal in terms of scheming and play calling. Samuels is one of the most versatile run blockers in the game along with being a solid pass blocker.

I am starting to believe that these are real Commander fans .....

he's not that worse than Samuels, if at all

you still don't have a LG, so he's going to require help, either from Samuels, or Rabach

After reading this thread, I've come to a conclusion. Deadskin fans are ********.




ok.....I already knew they were ********.




Some of the comments by these deadskin fans are downright unbelieveable.

Yeah, because with your incredible depth, you'll have a terrific advantage when the injuries start to pile up for all the teams...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... sometimes I crack me up...

This points up the incredible lack of depth on the Skins, and should tell you that the only chance they have at seeing .500 is if they stay really, really healthy all year long...

One or two injuries to your starters, and things will start to go downhill pretty freakin' quick... the only exception to that rule is at running back, where Betts ensures the Skins won't miss a beat if Portis goes down...

It's funny, you Skins fans think the injuries excuse the poor play by your offense, and that all you need is to get those injured starters back and you're gonna be ready to ROLL, bay-bee... but it doesn't seem to occur to you that injuries happen to most every team, most every year, and for sure you haven't bothered to contemplate what happens if the injury bug bites you...

I live in Commanders country. There biggest problem is their front four and lack of depth. I've give them credit in the back 7, they are far better then average. However, they are onion skin paper thin up front and haven't done much to improve. Lack of draft choices has killed them and they never learn. It all starts up front on D and that will be their downfall.

PS> There O-line isn't a whole lot better when it comes to depth. Both of the Tackles are regressing and there isn't a lot of hope for the future IMO.

Overall record, 7-9 IMO. If both their lines were in better shape, they would be looking at 10-6 at least.
