Quick Facts Washington Redskins season, Head coach ...

After ranking 28th out of 30 NFL teams in defense against the run in 1997, the Redskins had tried to revamp their interior defensive line during the off-season. They had signed Dana Stubblefield from the San Francisco 49ers, and Dan Wilkinson from the Cincinnati Bengals.[1] The acquisitions, in particular Stubblefield's, were eventually considered to have been costly failures though.[2]
