A change of subject, is in order, in Redskin-land, as well as a departure from excess drama, especially considering the importance of this subject.
What are the opinions thus far, of Barry's defense ?
I have mixed feelings.
In each of the 3 first preseason games, the opponent has put up points rather quickly, and the defense has at times looked messy and reminiscent of the same old Skins - horrible tackling attempts, and DB's/Safeties letting receivers bust home-free beyond the whole secondary. But after the first few series, usually when the backups start to come in, the defense has seemed to solidify. So if it was a scheme or D-Coordinator issue, then the performance probably would not improved as the game went along, and the backups entering the game.
So, is the slow start of the defense in each game, more an indication of the talent level of the starters ? Or is it just that the team needs more time to acclimate to Barry's "system" ? Or something else ?
