That anyone is trying to defend the defend the decision is ridiculous. He's got to be much better in the regular season to make the signing worthwhile. The sad thing is I could easily see another 2017 type season where the defense carries the team and the coaching staff at critical moments feels like it needs to hide the QB like Marrone did against the Patriots in 2017.

LOL

I'm not really seeing anyone defending anything.
I definitely see you irrationally overreacting to the first half of a preseason game, though.

BTW, when I zoom in on Foles, he looks left initially to see how tight the coverage is on O'Shaugnessy. Then that little pump fake was actually him trying to hit Conley on the underneath crosser, but the DL got his hands up so he pulled it down and flicked it poorly to Westbrook when he should have taken off or chucked it OB. He did not stare him down in the slightest.

People tend to overrate the difference between how 3-4s and 4-3s operate. When you have guys like Calais who is equally good at end/3 tech/and 3-4 5 tech , Allen who has rare on ball and off ball skills + Dareus (although not what he used to be athletically) is still more than capable of playing multiple alignments and occupying two blockers, it opens up a world of possibilities. And then Yannick is quite simply one of the best 1v1 pass rushers in the NFL on top of all that.

We ran some really nice Dline stunts last year and 2017 with Wash, now we can run more exotic Blitzs and make offensive line units REALLY have to be on their toes with who's coming from where.

Hopefully we see Wash keep at this all year, im sure we'll get bitten by being over Aggressive on some plays but overall I much prefer too much aggression than too little which I feel Wash can be prone to leaning into a bit

I am with you guys 100% here, and it bodes well for both aspects of our defense (run/pass).
Throwing Capers into this mix should only help the unit's efficiency IMO.

I will make this prediction: if the defense has another year in the top five, looking more like 2017 than last year, and the team makes another deep playoff run, Wash will get head coaching consideration, thanks in part to being able to utilize 3-4 principles in the defense.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!
