For once, Redskins could live up to hype

all i need is kornheiser say he is ready to load up the bandwagon because once the skins start winning, we will probably see alot of new faces around here

yeah you are probably right about that.
the wagoneers will be jumping if hen go on a winning streak.
should be interesting.

Maybe it is too much to ask, but I wish there could be one season where the Skins roster was settled at the QB position. I know Brunnell is the clear starter, and just maybe we will end the season with the same QB we start with. However my mental well being is thrown into question every time someone hits Brunell. The guy is going to be 36 in September and has been taking a beating behind the line for years. I just wish we had a proven, reliable backup.

hey we ask the same think even thought I prefer Bledsoe over Brunell I would like to know whos going to be there for the next 8 years.... at least you have a project in Campbell.

And I agree with the article there's reason to get hype about your team and your mayor concern it¿s Oline as a group not as a big concern like ours but it the biggest second I gues is LB

bloody marys should replace OJ as the breakfest beverage of choice.

And Rae Carruth should replace OJ as the murdering football player of choice.

And we prefer Brunell over Bledsoe. IMHO Brunell has proven to be more athletic. Here's the Cowboy's depth chart at QB
QB
Drew Bledsoe (javascript:openWinStats('team_bios.cfm','424D8FC8-DFC7-50BB-182AA874F167FAE9'))
Drew Henson (javascript:openWinStats('team_bios.cfm','7E667116-CBCE-1A66-FB9AC7A0756C8305'))
Jeff Mroz (javascript:openWinStats('team_bios.cfm','6C9587A5-F4D7-E21C-4B0B6D86B817316A'))
Tony Romo (javascript:openWinStats('team_bios.cfm','45419232-DFF2-5432-B98E95FA889450F3'))
What's not to like about our depth chart compared to the other teams?

Who in the hell is Mr. Oz? Is he going to be a new character on "Lost"?

Here is a link to the article in The Washington Post by Michael Wilbon.

Here is a sampler,

"But optimism doesn't begin to describe what's happening here, in Washington, where the Redskins appear to be positively loaded. The players sense it. Close observers sense it. Mark Brunell, probably never given to a word of overstatement in his life, said yesterday that anything short of a championship run this season would be a disappointment."

I don't know about all Skins fans, but In think every year is going to be the year.
Unless something "unexpected" happens. Injuries, turmoil, trades etc. Too many elements to count can de-rail our SB plans. I prefer to take it one game at a time, starting with preseason and hope for a relatively injury free season. Last year, losing Patten and R. Thomas hurt us in the playoffs. Sure the WR depth is better but what about the O Line? God forbid we lose Jansen, Samuels, Rabach etc. Who do we have to fill their shoes? Ray Brown is gone. Maybe we can convince him to re-sign. He's only 64 years old.

Lets just hope we can get through the preseason without any devastating injuries. Once that is over, we can sit back and take it week by week. There will be ups and downs, but this team is gonna roll! Dammit, is August over yet?

Does the OL really concern people??

If we want to talk depth, sure, that's always a concern. What team doesn't have depth concerns along the OL, especially if one of their stars goes down.

But if we're talking about our starting five, I have no worries with this group whatsoever.

This year on paper we look very strong and should make a strong push to the SB. We have the players and coaches that we have not had in a very long time but I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm going to sit back and let the season unfold. Yes, I will be jumping up and down yelling and all that stuff.


We have the be very careful. If we are thinking this God only knows that the players are thinking. We need to keep are heads in check and make sure we champion the small things that bothered us last year. Traditionally, Gibbs teams improve each year. This should be no exception, but most of the teams that we should challenge, improved in weak areas as well.
