1) Thinks Dallas is the team in the division that can take the Eagles if anyone can. Thinks their defense will be great and offense will be really strong too. It was a consensus that the 'Skins would be last in the NFC East and the Giants/Cowboys would fight for 2nd place.
2) If Gibbs has a winning record he should be nominated for coach of the year. Said he has to completely reinvent himself and doesnt know if he has the talent to do what he wants to do.
3) Thinks if Portis has 1700 yards that the skins may have a shot at a winning record, especially with the playaction.
4) Says Ramsey is playing for an NFL career and not a Redskins career. Said he wouldn't be suprised if with all the shit they've put him through he says no if they extend his contract. They bring in Brunell and give him the cold shoulder. Brunell fails miserably, then they give up A LOT to get a first round pick to get Campbell. He mentioned that it doesnt exactly ooze confidence of your starting QB. (I must say I agree with this point.)
5) Pretty much said that there were huge downgrades at receiver (also agree) and though faster they're either little, unproven, or both. We dont have that possession Art Monk guy. No one knows if McCants will see the field.

1. What about our defense? Why is it that they get some unproven rookies and change their scheme and yet the Cowboys have the great defense, and not us??? And their offense will be strong? How so? Everyone thinks Bledsoe will rekindle the magic he once had with Parcells, but if Testaverde couldn't then why should we believe Bledsoe will? Julius Jones had a great half-a-season, but that's all it was, half a season. I think he's going to be an elite RB in the league but hello we do have Clinton Portis.
2. In Gibbs I Trust
3. He'll get 1800
4. So what if he's playing for an NFL contract and not a Skins contract? You know who benefits from that in 2005? The Redskins, that's who. Smoot did it last year, Pierce did it, Muhsin Muhammad did it. It happens all around the league. Every player on our team should play as if it's a contract year.
5. It remains to be seen whether Patten can step up to be an elite receiver, I think he can be. And we have yet to unleash the awesome power that is Taylor Jacobs
