The defensive front voting is a little tough because we switched schemes when Shanahan took over.  I'm going to break it up into EDGE, DL, & LBers.  If anyone has a better suggestion for this let me know, or if anyone disagrees with where I've put players let me know that too.  

A few Rules:

- You are to only take into consideration that player's contributions to the Redskins.  For instance, Adrian Peterson has had a HOF career, but hasn't had that kind of impact for the Redskins.  

- The players must have been acquired after the Snyder era began.  So someone like Darrel Green does not qualify.  

- Let's stay away from current rookies as they haven't even finished a single season yet.

I picked other, cause I think Lavar Arrington was probably the best Edge rusher the Skins had but Gregg Williams hated his freelancing. 

Very true. Lavar played well when coached by Marty & Marvin and mostly as a pass rusher and run stuffer.

Ryan Kerrigan has like 4x the career sacks that Arrington did.  

Umm... How can you not understand that @mike23md is saying that Arrington wasn't used in the right way by his coaches except when Marty and Marvin were here.

Gregg tried to make an attacking LB into a read and react LB/coverage LB.

I first fell in love with the idea of the Redskins switching to the 3-4 D when they signed Joe Salavea & Marcus Washington.

A 3-4 front of:

RDE: Phillip Daniels

NT: Joe Salavea

LDE: Cornelius Griffin

ROLB: Arrington

RILB: Pierce

WILB: Lemar Marshall 

LOLB: Marcus Washington 

That front 7 would have been sick!
