The defense gave up an outrageous 27.4 points per outing last season, third-worst in the NFL. That said, the Redskins were a respectable 12th against the run and roll into this year with their retooled line as a potential strength. Jason Hatcher returns at right end with newcomer Stephen Paea expected to start on the left side while Knighton swallows up blockers in the middle. Chris Baker and Ricky Jean Francois bring rotational depth if they don't wind up seeing starts.
