Good move by the Jags. I'm surprised they didn't just go ahead and name him DC but I think his stamp on the defense will be felt immediately. With this much talent to work with I expect we'll be even better defensively.

I think they are actually happy with Wash.  Despite perceptions, and breakdowns last year, the defense was ranked top 5 in the league.  There's some cleaning up to do, but this is still one of the best units in the league.  I think last year we saw what happens when the offense is so bad that they're constantly putting the defense in a bad position, or forcing them to be on the field longer than they should.  Even the best defenses are going to have breakdowns in situations like that.  Wash isn't coaching the offense, so I'm cutting him some slack based on where the defense finished the year.  Still, an upgrade can only help, especially when it's someone with the reputation of Capers.
