For all the talk about Washington’s defense didn’t the basically get torched all last year when they faced a real QB/offense? Same thing happened week 1 against Herbert. They could do nothing against the Chargers offensive line that basically rebuilt this offseason

yeah because your DL doesn't mean jack if you can't cover. Since the Seahawks won the SB in 2013, the Chiefs are the only team who won without an elite secondary.

The only time last year they looked good in coverage against a very good QB was against Seattle. And that was when Wilson was in a massive slump.

Curl is a very promising DB, but Collins, Fuller, Jackson and McClain are 3-4 years removed from their best years.

Sure, they are above average in total but that's not good enough against a QB like Herbert. He had zero issues converting 3rd down after 3rd down.

They probably stifle the Giants because Daniel Jones is below the inflection point that is giving them fits but that problem will again show up against top 10 QBs.

The Eagles secondary in 2017 was not elite, not even close. Neither was the Bucs secondary last year. They both definitely stepped up their level in the playoffs, but the front seven for both of those teams were the dominant force.
