Expectations for Griff and the 2012 Offense

I wonder if Jay Schroeder is upset with RGIII wearing #10....:rolleyes::duel::screama:

Wow. I just remembered that I had Jay's jersey as a kid! It was from one of those Hutch uniforms with the helmet.

I also had his Starting Lineup figure.

Our #10s:

I originally typed 11-5 before remembering we have Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cincy this year.

Does anyone else feel like the defense for Baltimore and Pittsburgh is starting to fall off a little bit? I'd worry more about that offensive line for the Steelers more than anything.

Baltimore maybe. They're missing Suggs, Reed...who knows with his contract fight if he'll play and how motivated he'll be, he's seriously angry at the team. The secondary isn't as good anymore.

Pittsburgh should be just as strong. Cincy could be a top 5 NFL defense and Cleveland isn't terrible and have made some nice additions. Watch out for their rookie James Michael-Johnson at LB.

You never know with Cincy. They have a track record of following good years with bad years, for whatever reason.

Player arrests.

Not at all. First off, both have top 5 FO in the league. Both always seem to find guys to replace their fading talent. Check what Pittsburg did in the draft...drafted a couple studs for the Oline. They will be fine.

These teams depend on the draft to grow their teams and dont go out and spend stupid money. Seems to work.

Ed Reed has been working out at the Ravens den since some time last week.
And although that defense lost Suggs there won't be as huge of a drop off in production as people think.
Between Kruger, McPhee and Upshaw the Raven's pass rush won't fall off that much.
There secondary with Ed Reed, Pollard and CB trio of Kerry Williams, Jimmy Smith and Webb is solid.

In conjunction with Griffin throwing the football, look for the running game to be even stronger. What's the chances in the Redskins having two of three running backs each rushing for a 1,000 yards?

I'm not optimistic about this season. 5-11.

Griffin plays well, but a few bonehead throws make us think Rex Grossman is a bad influence on him. He still puts up almost Cam-Newton-like numbers, till he's hurt halfway through the season.

Shanny and Allen continues to build the team, though not having our own first round pick the next two seasons hurts. Griffin will become the best QB in the NFCE soon, especially as the other guys get old, and we really start to win in 2013 and onwards.

That's what I'm expecting. I hope to be pleasantly surprised this season.

Other than all those picks we gave up recently, I think Mike Shanahan's been building this team the right way. And if anybody could be trusted nowadays to make such a gamble on a guy like Griffin, it's Shanny.
