If nothing else, 2018 showed that the Washington Redskins are lacking in depth in the trenches, on both sides of the ball. Not only that, but the team lacks a true nose tackle to use in their base 3-4 defensive scheme.
More often than not, the Washington Redskins shift out of their base scheme, using nickel and dime packages that use two defensive tackles and two defensive ends instead. But when they opt to remain in 3-4, they lack a true nose tackle, a true one-gap warrior to anchor the middle of the line.
In the past, the team has had Ziggy Hood and Stacy McGee fill that need, both of whom saw little to no success out of their niche.
