the secondary has two DB of the yr award winners in Williams and Terrance Newman,Zimmer has made both look like pedstrian players this yr...Greg Ellis is a good player, LaRoi Glover is a good player...Marcellus Wiley had two double digit sack years and was an explosive pass rush guy in Buffalo and San Diego (before last yr)...alot of people though Dat Nguyen should have made the pro bowl last yr...Coakley has played in 3 pro bowls, incl last yr...there are ample enough players here, but the scheme is absolutely ridiculous...how many dominant players ar on the Commanders defense? Greg Williams has done everything for them that Zimmer cant do here

I will give you Williams & Newman. But Williams is playing out of position because of the loss of Woodson. The rest of our secondary has been in flux all year because we have had zero talent at our second safety position, our second CB position and our nickel back. Not average talent but zero talent.
I believe I said 2 decent DL players, Ellis is a average to slightly above average player. Glover is only a good player when he has someone playing next to him because of his size to take the double team. Say what you want about Blade this year, but he played well last year and it helped our whole D. Carson sucks and I can not even believe you would even mention Wiley as a decent player.
Coakley is a warrior but he is 32 and lost it, singleton is terrible and Dat can only make plays if the D line keeps the blockers off of him. Why i mention Blade & Stewart in this regard last year they performed this job last year.
The Skins have 2 very good CB's, Smoot is having a great year and Springs is playing very very well. They are both talented players, the issue with Springs has been injury. Taylor is a star (talent wise) in the making.
Wynn, Griffin and Daniels have been good players in this league.
Marcus Washington is one of top young LB's in the league. Pierce is a good LB.
Skins have more talent.
But again, you seem to make black and white arguements. Is Zimmer a problem? Maybe, but to say our lack of talent on D has not contributed to our demise as a D this year when we were #1 last year is all Zimmers fault is beyond me.
