Redskins Talk...Hall out of practice probable for Sunday

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

Take London out of the starting 11 and you'd soon realise how important he still is to this team.

Hail.

[DarkLink]

If London goes down, Falcons will consider to put their backups in to win. Fletcher is a vital piece to our defense.

[HailToTheRedskins14]

I love London and it pains me to say this, but he is not playing very well at all, especially in the passing game. He's getting picked on every week by tall TEs. Gonzalas is licking his chops right now.

Trent and RG3 yes, but London isn't even our most important LB right now.

I think every ILB in the league is gonna get beat by TE's. TE's are quickly becoming an impact position. No shame in that. He's still the heart and soul of our D. And I know at one point he was leading the team in tackles, not sure if he still is.

[SWFLSkins]

Dont forget that Tanard the retard really screwed us over..... If we still had him on the roster it wouldnt look as hopeless in the secondary.....

He would have easily been the best safety on the team this year.

D Hall might be the most valuable player on our team right now, including RG3. We lose him, our secondary has zero.

Josh Wilson by the numbers is the best player in the secondary this year.

[Koolblue13]

By the numbers never tells an entire story.

[MartinC]

Safety continues to be a bust for this team. We don't take the position seriously enough to take the right measures to solidify it for good

I dont know - we spent 2 top 10 picks on the position. For very different reasons neither player worked out ......

More recently we are building the right way - high picks on QB, LT, OLB and free agent dollars on WR and DL. Only so many high picks and cap space to go around .....I'm sure next year though we will be looking hard at free agent options and draft options in round 2 and 3 in the secondary and at RT.

[HailToTheRedskins14]

Since this thread is slipping into "what do we do next year" territory, I'll just throw out that I hope we add a piece on the DL. Doesn't really matter where. If we can snag a safety or RT in free agency, I wouldn't be mad if we looked at DE or NT in the 2nd round. You can get some players at those positions where we'll be picking. CB, more OL, and S would still be near the top, but a talented DE could slip.

I'm hoping a guy like Janoris Jenkins slips to the 2nd round for us. From what I've read, he's playing up to his potential so far.

[GothSkinsFan]

And the sad irony is that a few short years ago we spent high Number Ones on Sean Taylor and Laron Landry.

When you consider that one of them was murdered and the other was expected to be Robin, not Batman, there's not much irony.

A 5'11 LB having a tough time with Tony Gonzalez? Really? The only reason Gonzalez isn't in the Hall of Fame is because he didn't retire 5 years ago.

Without Fletch, this is an entirely different defense (in a bad way). Fletch has been good all year.

Running downfield with your back to the QB while covering tight ends like Jimmy Graham and Jermaine Gresham is a tough assignment. Some of these QB's have been making good throws and the safeties have been late getting to the ball. Not a whole lot Fletch can do about it, except make that window as small as possible.

Jairus Byrd and Kenny Phillips are free agents next year

[kevinklein]

Depleted secondary versus Jones/White/Gonzalez will be the story tomorrow.

Right. I'm just waiting on them to completely replace the leather rather than keep trying to patch it up with weak string

[Koolblue13]

We did try and fix our secondary this year. We brought in 3 safeties and a formerly starting CB, as well as drafted a few.

London is one of my favorite players on this team and I'm not putting him down.
