Is the Redskins' Window starting to Open?

- I think Cousins is the man, but I need to see it one more season. His second half was awesome last year but I need to see it again against the tougher competition we'll face over our 16 this season.

- I need to see our run game get much better, get good enough to take the pressure off the passing game when needed.

- Probably most importantly, I need to see a consistent and disruptive pass rush. I LOVE Junior Galette but I need to see it before I believe it. The offenses you face in the playoffs, in particular the QBs, the only way you beat guys like Aaron Rodgers is to be all over them.

Anytime you make the playoffs, the next year you can say the window is cracked. But that's as far as I'll go for now. If we make the playoffs again this year with Cousins proving himself to be worthy of a big contract, then next year I'll ask Tony K to fire up the Bandwagon.

Truth. Many a one year wonder qb has traveled this league, his credibility (and our team) will take a major step forward if he can do it back to back. I also have questions about our pass rush and defensive line that can't be answered until the season starts, but I believe the single biggest factor is Captain Kirk.
