I guess what I'm most encouraged about, as weird as this may sound, is that even if we don't have a stellar season, it won't be due to incompetence. I have a feeling that teams will actually have to outplay the Redskins to beat them this year. You have to figure this team is at least 3 games better than last years squad.
We'll have our share of injuries, set backs or what have you, but we'll also go into game more prepared and ready to compete. Last year it was anyone's guess which Redskins would show up from one week to the next. To me that was most frustrating thing about the Zorn era, and to a lesser extent the Gibbs 2.0. We were never Detroit or Oakland bad, but we struggled with those bastards week in and week out. Along those lines, I think Donovan McNabb brings a dimension of game day readiness that we've lacked for years at the quarterback position. There's not too much that's going to surprise this guy in the NFC East this year.
