Dee Ford has 10 sacks in 2016 while Hali was gimpy all season and Houston was on IR.
Houston had to play the highest snaps of his career IIRC in 2017 while Dee Ford was hurt, Tamba was basically done, and Frank Zombo started 9 games at DE. Houston and Ford have basically NEVER been healthy at the same time. I can understand wondering why one of them wasn't kept but keeping both of them was out of the question, regardless of salary. Once you add in the amount of money involved, getting rid of both of them makes a metric ton more sense than trying to count on them. |

Some Sutton-like results. That tells me he still needs talent to work with. Scheme alone will not get you out of the bottom 5. Spags is totally capable of leading a bottom 5 D. He's done it before. And, no one wants to talk about the fact that all these players now have to learn a new scheme. That will come with a hefty share of mistakes on its own. Couple that with limited talent? Eeeesh. It's not a great recipe for success.

The Packers and Redskins literally have different defensive playbooks. They have different playcalls, blitzes, and checks. For all we know, the Packers may run a more complex system than the Redskins did. There are ALOT of nuances in NFL defenses. It’s why I always expect players who we sign late in the offseason to start somewhat slowly. |

Is cover 2, or press different from defense to defense? The only way that excuse works is if they play a different style of coverage more frequently, which is why i keep asking those who drum up that excuse. Man coverage is man coverage, no matter what the front 7 is doing or the color of your jersey. Just like WR's. A slant is a slant. Are you good at it or not?

The big talent on this entire defense is lacking outside of Chris Jones. Scheme alone can't make up for lack of talent I agree. I hope a trade happens for a corner. Breeland is a good signing, even if its at the worst a wash with nelson. I think Breeland tracks the ball better.

But the fact is, his stats (in a new defense recovering from a foot injury) compare favorably to Steven Nelson. I am stoked about this signing. So he’s been either at worst, slightly inferior, or at best, a better player than Nelson |

The defense is definitely due for some high draft pick resources poured into it.

Veach is sending a clear message that we're building through the draft while simultaneously trying to build a passable defense right away while we have a window. Not with Sutton's guys. With as many of Spags' guys as possible. He's going for quantity, not quality. And he's going for short-term contracts, not long-term. I know it's not sexy, but I love the approach. |

At some point though they have to start adding talent. Not replacement level guys, but actual difference making talent. Otherwise you'll be spinning your wheels doing this same dance next year. If they're not going to spend it on talent to yield better results on the field, then who gives a **** how much cap space they have? I sure as **** don't care about Clark's money, do you? I want a winner.
