Entering the 2020-2021 NFL season, the Washington Redskins have completely rebuilt their organization from top to bottom. One of their key additions was bringing in head coach Ron Rivera and defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio to finally fix what’s been a dreadful Redskins defense for the past decade.
A reason why this defense has been putrid for so long is the absence of a difference-maker at arguably the most important position on that side of the ball. I’m talking about the quarterback of the defense, the middle linebacker spot.
While the current roster doesn’t have any solid difference makers at the middle linebacker position, there’s one call the Redskins could and should make to fix that during the 2020 offseason.
