We have been talking a lot lately about the depth this Washington Football Team now has. That depth is very much evident along the defensive line, where our base 4-3 look utilizes two defensive tackles (and 1-off and 3 technique), but has four starting-caliber players in the rotation - Jon Allen, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle.
We had very solid depth last year at defensive end, with starters Montez Sweat and Chase Young, being backed up by Ryan Kerrigan and Ryan Anderson (before injuries slowed him down). This year, the depth at defense end is not quite the same.
