Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Greg Manusky earned himself a second season in his position, due in part to Manusky’s aggressive scheme, which flashed dominance on occasion in 2017, and in part to the injuries suffered by the team’s defensive core in the same year.
Manuksy was given an opportunity to cement his status as the team’s defensive coordinator, and for a while, it looked like he would do so in 2018. His unit started out hot, limiting some of the league’s best rushers, and showing a propensity for opportunistic plays in the secondary.
That opportunistic production proved to be unsustainable, however.
