LEESBURG, Virginia – The positive offseason vibes for Washington Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan goes something like this: His knee feels much better, he likes how Junior Galette looks and how Preston Smith is developing and the addition of corner Josh Norman.
Kerrigan knows it can only help him, or his teammates, hit the passer a lot more than in 2015. While the Redskins’ defense needs to improve vs. the run, it also absolutely must increase their pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
The Redskins ranked 25th in number of times opposing quarterbacks were under duress vs. them (whether they were hit or not hit).
