Well we're still in the planning stage. But, for example, my Redskins Rewind column will continue but on the new site. Sheriff Gonna Getcha will provide previews of the upcoming opponents-with stat breakdowns, offensive and defensive philosophies, and matchups to watch. The new site (name still to be determined, checking availability of certain names) will not depend on The Washington Post or any other mainstream outlet for game recaps. We will have our very own Brud Lee at all home games, and hope to recruit some of you to cover away games.
We all can't say enough good things about TheWarpath.net, but the essential purpose of the new site is to allow you the fan to really speak your mind. More so in essay form, then the current dialogue form. To give as many people as possible their own "projects" for lack of a better word they will call their own.
8588, to answer some of your questions. Op-ed basically means an opinion piece. Usually by guest panelists. For example, we may invite someone from a Jets site to give his view on how Ramsey is doing and what his thoughts were on the Redskins-Jets preseason game. I hope I answered your original content question above. But basically, yes members original thoughts. The status quo is what you see now of this site. The new site will just dig a bit deeper and basically we'll be our own media and newswire.
