Redskins vs. Dolphins predictions

[hypocritex]

It's pretty obvious it will be a defensive game. Neither offense has gelled yet. I think it comes down to who has the better Defense. And that is MIAMI. I don't like predicting scores or games really. But I predict that Miami wins 24-10

See I can listen to the argument that Miami has a better defense than us right now...but everyone here says its going to come down to the better defense and I disagree compeltley. The Redskins and Dolphins arent playing the same offense...I think the skins offense, while average at this point is ALOT better than Miami's...litterally every player at every position (maybe save Quarterback due to JC's inexperiance) I think its advantage Washington, and I think our defense against their offense is going to be a asskicking...while our offense against their defense is going to be a really tough contest.... but thats just me. We still really have no way of knowing until Sunday

Thats a fair asessment. But, consider this. Us Dolphin fans really have NO clue where our offense stands. Its obviously new and fresh. It's obviously run by perhaps the best Offensive Mind in the league. There are alot of new players. Alot of new faces and inexperience. But at the same time. It is all new to Joe Gibbs to. Your team will be the guinea pig to our supposed revamped offense. So it isn't fair to say that our offense isnt that good. That is really only a guess. And not even an educated one. The Redskins and Dolphin fans will find out what the Dolphins offense is all about on Sunday. Because to be totally honest.. We really have no idea.. And neither does Joe Gibbs.. And that has to be a little scary.

How do you expect your offense to be good with that terrible O-line you guys have? Chris Liwenski is a scrub that could only start 6 games for the Cardinals terrible line last year, Samson Satele is a rookie, Vernon Carey is decent but he struggles as a pass blocker, L.J. Shelton is best suited as a backup not a starter, and Rex Hadnot is adequate at best and I heard he really struggled during preseason. Your TE's David Martin, and Justin Peele do not scare me one bit. Trent Green is washed up, you guys would probably be better off starting Cleo Lemon at QB. Chris Chambers is your only decent WR, Marty Booker drops a lot of passes and he is extremely inconsistent, and who knows how Ted Ginn will do. The strength of your offense is definitely at RB with Ronnie Brown, Jesse Chatman, and Lorenzo Booker, but it's going to be hard for them to do anything because your o-line is not very good. So there is an educated guess on why your Offense is not going to be very good.

While I agree our O line needs work. Your view of our receivers is off. If anything Booker is more consistent then Chambers. Chambers is very inconsistent..

David Martin will make you reconsider your view of him on Sunday. I gaurantee you he will surprise.

What do you base Trent Green being washed up on? Just because he is old? He has had 1 concussion in his career. He takes time off. He comes back to KC ready to start and the system has been HermIfied. He hasn't yet proved that he is washed up. Before last year with the concussion and change of system.. He was a top 5 QB for quite a few years. Now I don't expect him to put up the numbers he did at KC.. But the only real reason to assume he won't is because the lack of talent in comparison.

Well, ours hasn't gelled for obvious reasons: we haven't lined all of our starters up yet. Your team, however, has question marks across the board.

*How will Green respond after a few good licks, because you know it's coming.

*Cameron has yet to name his staring running back. Although it will probably be Ronnie Brown.

*Outside of Chris Chambers, who's your downfield threat?

*No TE to speak of.

*Your defense is okay, but nothing special. And I don't mean that as an insult, I just don't see them holding us down.

You have the Dolphins scoring 24 in a defensive game? That leads me to think that you don't really know what good defense is.

I'll say it again. The team that protects the ball and doesn't commit penalties will win the game. Cam Cameron is a strong offensive mind, but like his mentor Norv Turner, he is a little indiscriminate in his play calling. Brilliant at times, he has the bad habit of disregarding field position and game management in his zeal to attack some perceived weakness in the opposing defense. Al Saunders has the same tendency which is why Gibbs took back a good portion of the gameplanning duties last year.

I think the Skins will run the ball 35 times, get first downs with Cooley and Sellers take a few deep shots to Moss and Lloyd. Throw in the home field advantage and it adds up to a Redskins victory.

So what.. The Defense can't score TD's? Or special teams?
