Supposedly Golden’s method was to simplify the whole defense, minimize thinking and decision making, which would allow guys to play faster. We should expect growing pains, if that’s what we’re seeing.
If you listened to the pregame last night there was a theme of once Washington realized they finally had a franchise QB, they went out and loaded up on good players. That’s AFTER they made the nfc championship game. They almost couldn’t be more different from the Bengals. We had one of the worst defenses in the NFL and the FO did very very little to improve the personnel. New DC, the easiest and cheapest fix was admittedly implemented.
DC has a new and apparently deep-pocketed owner. We have Mike, very much stuck in his ways and looking to run things on a shoestring.
