00:00Warren Sharpe went position group by position group
00:03for every NFL team for Sharpe Analytics
00:06in his season preview,
00:08and he ranked how each group stacks up.
00:11For the commanders, notably,
00:13he had the offensive line 27th,
00:15he had the secondary 31st,
00:17and those are two of the groups on Danny and I's lists here
00:19as to what you're most worried about
00:21as it pertains to this roster.
00:22Danny's going O-line,
00:23I'm going with specifically cornerback.
00:25I actually think the safety room is solid
00:28and really raises the tide.
00:30I think ranking the secondary 31st is way unfair.
00:34I think they're better than that.
00:36But let's go to our callers, 800-636-1067.
00:40Joe's out and resting.
00:41Joe, what position group gives you the most nerves
00:45going into the season?
00:47Yeah, I think you guys hit it pretty good.
00:49With O-line was definitely my number one
00:50and then corner number two,
00:51but I think if I had to pick number three,
00:53which kind of goes with,
00:55it's gonna be edge rusher.
00:58I think it's, we really don't have anyone proven
01:01that's gonna go out there and get sacked.
01:02I mean, I know they went and got Doran Armstrong,
01:04but he's never been more than a rotational guy
01:06with Michael Parsons on the other side.
01:09He's not gonna have that here,
01:10and if they're gonna thrust him
01:11into that much of a bigger role,
01:13I just don't see where this production's gonna come from,
01:15and it's only gonna magnify how bad the corner room is,
01:18because if we're not getting pressure,
01:19those guys are gonna be covering way too long,
01:22and I just think we're gonna get diced up.
01:25I appreciate you making it.
01:26To me, there's two ways to do it, creating pressure.
01:28Way number one, the way that the New York Giants
01:31got two and won two Super Bowls,
01:32the way that Ron Rivera's Carolina Panthers team
01:34got to the Super Bowl, ultimately lost it,
01:36but is that you've got four really good,
01:39working together, cohesive pass rushers up front
01:41that can win one-on-one.
01:43That's the easiest thing to do, cover with seven.
01:45If you don't have that, which they don't,
01:47then you do what Washington has done.
01:49You don't just square peg and round hole that thing.
01:50You've got one play where Frankie Luvu is lined up,
01:53standing up over the right tackle.
01:55The next play, Dorrance Armstrong is standing up,
01:58or the next play, somebody totally different
02:00that we haven't even thought of.
02:01Jamin Davis is blitzing downhill.
02:02You mix and match.
02:04You make it so that nobody knows
02:05where the rusher's coming from,
02:06and you force the offense to adjust,
02:07and you dictate in that way.
02:09I think that's what they're gonna do.
02:10You're right that they don't have a star.
02:12They don't have a guy that can do 50.
02:14They don't have T.J. Watt.
02:15There aren't that many guys that do.
02:17There aren't many teams that have that easy button
02:19where a superstar pass rusher from one side
02:21is gonna A, produce, B, take up all the attention.
02:24I think they're gonna have to get creative,
02:25and that's kind of on Joe Witt and Dan Quinn and company.
