Finding an answer at the crucial 3-4 position is certainly near the top of the Redskins’ to-do list this offseason. They appear to be making progress in that regard. Per the team’s official website, an unheralded player is garnering some attention as a starting option.
At nose tackle, Joey Mbu once again worked with the first-team defensive unit with A.J. Francis anchoring the second-team and Phil Taylor working mostly with the third-team.
These three – and potentially a few others – will be used at the nose tackle position when the Redskins are in their base scheme.
