And one segment that didn't quite go according to plan...

 

Also this tidbit from Joe Person...

Quote

 

Bryan Cox Jr. signed with the Panthers an undrafted free agent last year after entertaining similar offers from Tampa Bay and San Diego.

Bryan Cox Sr., an NFL linebacker for 12 seasons and an NFL defensive line coach for 10 years, steered his son toward Washington.

“He’s by far the best defensive line coach in football,” Cox Sr. told the Observer last spring. “He’s not paid the highest like some of these guys are. But when you turn on the tape you see the physicality, you see the hand placement, you see the pad level. You see just no-nonsense football.”

 

Ron Rivera tabs the next man up

He’s got his work cut out for him, defense didn’t play up to expectations last year. Lots of needs to fill, hope he gets things turned around.

Funny--I was going to start a thread about Cox Jr.  Since Horton stepped up, Addison is solid, and Peppers seems poised to return to a situational role,  Cox and Hall could be fighting for a fifth DE spot---I am assuming we bring in a FA or a draft a DE early.

I agree, but the problem--in my expert opinion--was that we were blitzing a lot with zone CBs and our Safeties were not good.  I would like to see less blitzing and more pressure from the front 4, or get some CBs that can man up.

Washington has a tough road ahead.

People are gonna need patience. Make no mistake, those loving this now will turn on him faster than you can blink just like they did with Wilks.
