ASHBURN, Va. -- Five observations on the Washington Redskins' defense following Sunday's 34-23 win over the Dallas Cowboys:
It’s not that the Redskins can’t withstand the loss of safety Kyshoen Jarrett. They’ve overcome numerous injuries this season. But losing him will hurt. Jeron Johnson can help as a third safety -- heck, he was brought to Washington to challenge for a starting job and essentially has been beaten out by a number of players. Jarrett provided versatility and toughness (Johnson gives them the latter, too).
