Is the Redskins D...

[Lilsmitty09]

really as good as their fans think so?

all i have been hearing is how we will be lucky to get a field goal or 2 against there "unstoppable D"...i personally think there D sucks. is it just me? or what do you all think? yeah, they have Albert Haynesworth...but i think hes Overatted. hes just a big body to me. and D hall....give me a break. :beatdeadhorse5: smith will beat him

Hard to say. Their last three games have been against the Rams, Bucs, and Lions. Not exactly three offensive juggernauts. On the other hand, they held the Giants to their lowest point total this year (still lost the game though).

I don't expect much scoring today. Two field goals might win it for us.

Of course, now that I said that, both teams will probably put 30 plus on the board.

No, it's not. They've got a good interior run defense, but their DEs are old and can be run on. Outside Haynesworth, all of their starting linemen are in their 30s and they don't have great depth. They'll look good in the first quarter but wear down as the game progresses.

At linebacker, Orakpo is big and fast, but he's still learning his position. McIntosh's knees are held together with baling wire and duck tape. Fletcher is still bringing it, but he's about the only legit member of that unit and has more than twice as many tackles as the next closest guy.

The Skins have an awesome free safety in Landry, but Chris Horton is nothing special. Their corners are Hall and Carlos Rogers, and they're a good and solid duo.

To sum up, the Redskins are hurting up front, but the deeper you go in their defense the better the talent is. If the Panthers try and beat the Skins through the air they'll pay for it big and Jake will end up on the bench. But if they are patient and run the ball steadily, by midway through the second half we'll start seeing Williams and Stewart pick up those 6 to 8 yard runs with regularity.

So a lot depends on how the game is called. In other words, don't get your hopes up.
