LEESBURG, Va., -- The promise arrives with every new defensive coordinator, a vow to become more aggressive. They will: Blitz more, attack more, devour opponents under aggressive schemes.
And that’s what the Washington Redskins promise to do under new defensive coordinator Greg Manusky. The Redskins fired Joe Barry after two years, replacing him with Manusky. They wanted more than just a change of coordinators; they wanted a, well, more aggressive scheme.
“He’s more aggressive,” Redskins linebacker Will Compton said. “It seems like it anyway.”
