When it comes to the 'Skins, most analysts simply ignore our off-season acquisitions.
As one commentator said, the 'Skins win the off-season every year - so I agree with the common logic in this thread, that this placement sounds about right.
There's only one way to turn around the skepticism and that is to show that we actually can win a few games.

Like someone already said, these rankings are mostly based on last season and rightfully so. Until the teams actually take the field how can you really judge anyone just yet?
Exactly!!

LOL JW Sleep! I agree with you 100%. Let's let em learn the hard way!
And I guess the Cowboys should be ranked ahead of us b/c of their D based on last year. I think we can be just as good, however. I don't see that much of a dropoff purely b/c of losing Champ, and I like the additions we've made at LB and at Corner- plus I think we can win alot of games if our D line can just be good, not great. I guess I'm always overoptimistic, but if Griffin can turn out to be a solid D lineman for us, and Williams schemes can help generate enough pressure, I think our D can be better than Dallas'. We now have a safety as good as theirs, and our corners and backers are better than theirs....
