As always, cautiously optimistic with a sprinkle of pessimism. I'm excited to see how the defense is going to be this year. I think in terms of player personnel, it has been upgraded, but it will remain to be seen in terms of DC.

I still feel we needed to have kept either Jackson or Garcon. That's the pessimism sprinkle. I'm suspect over the health of Doctson, and I'm not quite convenienced Pryor is going to have reliable hands, but we'll see. Also keep thinking Kelly is either going to regress and get pushed out by Perine by mid-season, or he's going to be "beast mode 2.0". I was more impressed by him in game 3 of the preseason.

I kind of feel this is all or nothing for the 'skins. I just don't believe 8-8 or 9-7 should be sought after. I think a playoff berth and a playoff win should be expected. This is Gruden's fourth year, it's time to make it happen if it is.
