Re: Redskins vs. Dolphins predictions
Redskins 13 Dolphins 10
Offense
I don't think there will be a vast improvement from our pre-season offense. Chris Samuels will struggle against Jason Taylor. There will be constant pressure on Jason Campbell, resulting in at least one fumble or INT. Even with Portis back, our running game will not get back on track against Miami's tough run D. I think we'll probably score on a big pass play to Santana Moss or ARE. Miami's pass D is suspect, but it's going to be hard for JC to step up into the pocket and find someone deep, but I think he will at least once during the game. I think Miami's D will come up with big plays when they need to and push us out of Suisam's range and the red zone, so I figure this to be a low scoring affair.
Defense
Our D is going to be nasty. Miami will have difficulty moving the ball on us. At best, they'll have three good drives. I think we'll get to Green for some sacks, but most likely it will be our DBs: Landry & Springs. I doubt will come up with any INTs, just a number of deflections. Miami will probably score off having good field position.
I hate to say it, but I think we're pretty evenly matched against the fins. This should be a nice defensive battle.
