Predict Your 2013 Redskins Record (pre-training camp edition)

'Skins should win the NFCE and I'll say 9-7 simply because of the first place schedule this season.

Philly will be better and I pick them for second in the NFCE
Dallas, same story, borderline medocrity.
NYG will be a different team and will struggle to string wins together.

And people say you're not objective.

Well after 17 years of suckage, it has to sink in eventually.

Why do you say that?

I think it will be because of defense, but offensively they always find away. Good coaching.

G-Men have hung their hat on a very good defensive front 7 that was able to get pressure up front without the blitz.

But I look at the transactions and players in those positions now and it is just a different group.

Umenyiora - Gone
Canty - Gone
Boley - Gone

They were able to keep Kiwanuka but their best pass rusher, JPP, may or may not be ready for camp and may even start the season on the PUP due to back surgery he had in June. They added Dan Conner, but that is nothing to shout about. It should tell you something that Conner was signed as a FA last season and was released after only one season and could not get into the rotation.

And still no long term answer at the Safety position.

Of the 6 OGs, only 2 players have greater than 2 years experience (Snee & Boothe). Of the remaining 4, only 1 player has 2 years experience.

One of Eli's best targets of 2012 (Bennet) left for Chicago.

So, to me, anyway, they will look different on both sides of the ball.

Bright spot is, of course, the coaching and they are always capable of winning.

Good answer. I hope that you turn out to be correct.
