The Redskins lost 2 former starters at safety this offseason in LaRon Landry and OJ Atogwe and they have brought in several safeties in the offseason to try to fill the two starting spots. They brought in Madieu Williams, Tanard Jackson, and Brandon Meriweather. Meriweather is a two time former Pro Bowler who has struggled mightily over the last 2 seasons with New England and Chicago. Tanard Jackson used to be one of the most promising young safeties in the league before missing an entire season with a substance related suspension. Madieu Williams was a starter in Minnesota as recently as 2010, but playing sparingly as a reserve last season in San Francisco.
According to the Washington Post, Brandon Meriweather is locked in at strong safety, while Madieu Williams is the favorite to start at free safety. Other safeties in the mix for the two spots are Reed Doughty, who struggled last season in a few spot starts, and DeJon Gomes, their top reserve at the position last year. Whatever happens, the Redskins will have one of the weakest safety corps in the NFL. Madieu Williams was absolutely awful the last time he was a starter, ranking 2nd worst on ProFootballFocus at safety that year, while Meriweather hasn’t been much better. He was cut by New England and benched by Chicago last year and was overrated the two times he made the Pro Bowl.

People also predicted that the Redskins Offensive line was too fat and heavy to be effective… in 1982… Um, they called them the Hogs. I seem to remember them doing ok…
Is this secondary the best on paper? No, but the point is that no one knows what will happen until the season comes around. So take your negativity elsewhere kthx.
