ASHBURN, Va. -- Five observations on the Washington Redskins' defense after the 31-30 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers:
The defense has surrendered 587 rushing yards over the last three games combined. It went from Atlanta running a good scheme against them to the Jets snapping off a few long runs to the Bucs just hurting them all over. Too often the edges are not contained -- and too often it occurs when the Redskins are forced into a nickel alignment, putting the linebackers in a three-point stance. It’s hard to always know who’s supposed to fit where because it can change based on motion, alignment, etc.
