We have a pro-bowl receiver, pro-bowl tight-end, pro-bowl running back, pro-bowl full-back and pro-bowl RT. Would it be nice to have a Larry Fitzgerald-like WR as well? Of course, but most teams get by with a lot less. We have plenty of talent to be a 20 point per game team, which would make the Skins a force to be reckoned with, assuming the defense is elite and we can keep injuries to a minimum. It's all on Zorn and Campbell. The Giants had so many good RBs a couple of years ago that they waived a guy named Ryan Grant (their 5th best RB). They'll plug someone in and have just as potent a 3-headed monster that they had last year. Maybe they aren't as good without Plax, but they'll still score enough to be a contender. Plax left the Steelers and they won the Super Bowl the next year, so let's not pretend he's the Messiah. TO wanted every pass thrown to him, which gave the rest of the offense fits. Despite his late season meltdowns, Romo is legit, Whitten is still there and Roy Williams is plenty capable. He put up some monster numbers in Detroit, before falling off the radar. I think every team will be in the hunt again this year, but if Zorn and Campbell are the real deal, the Skins could run away with the NFC East. The defense could be one of the best units the Skins have ever had. | |

| Re: Debunking top 3 myths about the '09 Redskins how does NY not intimidate you, their second string defensive line is better than most starting defensive lines. They were already the best with the d line they had last year and then they got umenyiora back and added chris canty. Plus, their offensive line is arguably the best in the league. Just on the strength of the lines, NY could be the team to beat in the East |

This will very likely be a down year for them (probably 7-9 or 8-8, they will still beat up on the AFC West) | |

Also for those who want to point out our passing stats.....we were mostly a running team. Perhaps due to our difficulty at scoring in the redzone or what ever Zorn tried TD's with our RB's. Maybe I'm mistaken and you guys did look at over all offensive scoring. Hopefully this yr will be different and we have a lot more offensive weapons in the passing catagory. ie; Kelly, Thomas, Davis, Cooley, Moss, ARE, Mitchell.....etc. | |

Point #1 is no biggie since we are looking to contest the division cellar with Dallas again. Point #2 is just mind boggling with those WR stats, one must ask why we sucked so bad recordwise with that type of WR output. Point #3 Haynesworth hasn't played a down yet so this acquisition evaluation can only be done by midseason at the earliest. As for the critics' saying the Danny has reverted to his old ways, you really can't blame them or say that they are flat out wrong either.Giving any one athlete, no matter good, a $100 million + deal is just asking for trouble in my book anyway. A Rod isn't worth half what Steinbrenner is paying him, neither was MJ in his early years with the Bulls for that matter as one guy no matter how special can get you a ring on his own. | |

If he is a total bust, then yes, we will overpay him. But even if he is a bust, one can still defend the gamble on his talent, if not the final outcome of the gamble.
