Griffin and a bunch of high motor guys... I like that!

Nice to see the DL getting some props.

I'm surprised that Washington was ranked so high, considering that the only thing they're exceptional at is stopping the run. Without Gregg Williams' blitz schemes, the front four would have next to no pass rush. Hopefully a healthy Griffin and the addition of Andre Carter will change that.

What's up with Carolina?

"Can Kris Jenkins ever return to health? The last time he was 100 percent, in 2003, he was one of the best players in football. But he's played five games in the last two years. Team Jenkins with Julius Peppers, and the defensive line could dominate."

If...could dominate? Doesn't sound too convincing. Number 5 is too high for a team that MIGHT do something IF other things happen.

...but their DEs are sick...maybe that's enough.

"Griffin is the only star on the line..."?

Isn't Carter a star too? I think he is (at least by Griffin standards).

I just saw that they have a Griffin replica jersey for sale now on teams website. I might have to get that.

i read the other day that the skins were number 1 in the nfc last year for giving up the fewest amount of runs over 10 yards. #3 overall. why did it seem like they were giving up alot of long gainers? fans demanding too much?

Re: Ranking the Defensive Lines
 

I think when a run on the skins was over 10 yards, it went for like 70, instead of 12.

Nah, we always remember the positives and never dwell on the negatives.

Don't miss the other Redskins shout out when talking about Oakland:

"Warren Sapp gets pushed around on running plays, and his official listed weight of 300 pounds is the funniest thing in the NFL aside from Clinton Portis press conferences."

it MUST be our year :)
