TV crew called that late hit to Morris "textbook", but replay shows clear helmet-to-helmet contact. Maybe shoulder was first? Still doesn't look like the kinda tackling we should teach our kids...
Instead of worrying about this game and the defense, lets look at who the Skins should end up keeping around...
Phillip Thomas (has looked good since we drafted him, in limited viewings...)
Alfred Morris (dude is a beast)
Healthy Jordan Reed
Amerson (despite the gaffes today, he is still one of the top 3 on the team, MeAngelo included, and we need to keep him)
Breeland (didn't watch him today, but he has shown some promise filling in with injuries)
Tackling and coverage look bad, delay of game calls should be inexcusable at the professional level, and our O-line didn't communicate at all.
I think we need to keep RG3 around, if only because we shouldn't let him go for free, but the Skins should be keeping their eyes out for a lot of things in the upcoming draft.

Potential QB replacement.
If Skins end up with a top-5 pick, maybe trade down and pick up some additional picks, acknowledge that we are rebuilding, and get a new DC. Let the QB thing be a secondary issue and focus on shoring up protection for whomever is supposed to throw the ball, and some corners/safeties.
