The Washington Redskins made moves in free agency and the draft in order to try to improve their performance on defense. The Redskins ranked 20th in total defense and 29th in scoring defense in 2014, so there’s no where to go but up.
Here we look at what the Redskins have done this offseason to upgrade their defense over last season but specifically at the nose tackle position.
Nose Tackle
2014 NT: Barry Cofield vs. 2015 NT: Terrance Knighton
Chris Baker started most of the season at nose tackle for the Redskins but Barry Cofield started out the season there.
