Redskins: Cutting D.J. Swearinger should be the tip of the iceberg for culture change

After D.J. Swearinger stepped off the field on Saturday, he went on another one of his postgame tirades. Swearinger, tired of losing, elected to criticize the defensive coaching on the final series of the Redskins-Titans game. Per ESPN’s John Keim, here’s some of what Swearinger said.

If I’m the D-coordinator, I’m calling zone every time on third down because you got a backup quarterback. Make him beat us.

We’re playing a backup quarterback. Why would you put us in man to man? We are our best on defense when we look at the quarterback.
