No reason to change. Griffin had nowhere to throw to all night. He's too good for zone.

I liked the adjustment. Our corners are best suited in man coverage instead of predominately playing zone. However, we need a safety that can cover man to man on TEs. Jarius Byrd would be a nice pick up right about now.

Totally agree. That defense looks completely different when our corners play man.

That's what you have to do as a coordinator. Put your players in a situation that plays to their strengths. It was refreshing to see RG3 not really have any easy places to throw the ball.

DeSean Jackson, Riley Cooper and Jason Avant are no chumps and will prove a big challenge next week. Tonight was a good start.

While true, if Carr can hold the fort down against Desean... do you really see us getting beat through the air by Cooper and Avant vs. Mo and Scandrick?

These are press man to man corners.... That zone crap doesn't fit with them.

We should be fine... but I could see Scandrick take Jackson. McCoy will be a serious test.

Not really concerned but you still have Shady coming out of the backfield and Brent Celek at TE and you know how we have struggled against those this year.

Very true. Celek seems to play well vs us usually. I was worried about Morris this game, to which I was pleasantly surprised about. DL instills fear in me every week. Watching Moreno torch us was not pleasant but yeah, fingers crossed on containing Shady.
