2008 Washington Redskins Preview

Overall, I'd say it's a pretty good review. My only bone to pick is that Zorn's offense is very similar to the one Campbell thrived in in his senior year so I don't know why that doesn't get mentioned more.

EDIT: Also, when Daniels moves inside, Marcus Washington and Demetric Evans split time at defensive end. It isn't just Evans.

Thanks, glad you liked the preview.

I think the Redskins are one of the most overrated teams right now. I forsee a 5-6 win season, 7 at the most.

[PuppyPuncher]

I agree with Matt, I have them as a lock for a top 10 draft pick next year. I can't believe you projected an 8-8 record Walter.

[phenomenal_waffles]

Oh good, I though I was the only one. I have them going 5-11, with the 9th pick. I was afraid to mention that because I thought I might get shot

[MMONTERO]

I think 8-8 is reasonable. There is a lot of young talent on the offense and both lines are solid. The defense may be old and have some questions but overall, it's still a good defense.

[Matt McGuire]

Let's not underestimate the head coach of all those that are new with the least amount of credintials, and the loss of Gregg Williams.

Any one else hear about the lawsuit about the Redskins' team name being offensive? I just saw a thing about it on NFLN...

[Matt McGuire]

Yeah it is ridiculous. Before you know it we will have to change the names of all teams named after animals thanks to PETA

[phenomenal_waffles]

Yeah I saw that on NFLN too. Crazy.

[Eagles4Life]

I mean, if they were the Washington Whities/Crackers/Honkies I wouldn't care. I'd probably be a fan...

Washington aren't neccessarily a bad team they're biggest problem is the division they play in.

Naw, I see them as an actually bad team. I like Jason Campbell's arm, but I don't think he is a very good quarterback. Like Matt mentioned, you lose Joe Gibbs and Gregg Williams and replace him with Jim Zorn. Don't have the wide receivers needed for their offensive system, don't really have any good pass-rushers, some questions at cornerback, and they made a terrible hiring at offensive co-ordinator.

No offense Mmontero, I just don't see a good team. I'll call them a likely candidate for the playoffs next offseason though.

Campbell was one of my breakout players. He thrives and Tampa wins the Super Bowl I will be so revered. I will so want my Kudos.

Zorn comes from a very successful line of position coaches who made head coaches though. I think he'll be alright. Everyone thinks losing Gregg Williams will be so bad but Greg Blache led the great Bears defenses of earlier this decade.
