I’m going to add a post at the end of every day with links to articles on the Washington Redskins available on the internet.

Also, I’m getting these links from a google alert, so if I’m missing something, feel free to leave a comment.

All other things aside, the skins don’t have a pass rush. If they can’t get pressure with the front four, they can’t win consistently in the NFL.
Williams blitz packages compensate, but there is the risk.
If the pnly way to pressure the passer is the blitz, well good teams, playoff caliber teams, are going to beat you. Putting Lavar at DE on passing downs is the only option left for Williams, but if you remember, Marvin Lewis did the same with no real impact.
Lavar ain’t Peter Boulware, Marvin learned.
So, were stuck. It’s a shame, because I really believe the skins are one good pass rushing DE away from legit NFC championship contender THIS year.
