The running game (namely Clinton Portis). The Redskins are going to lean very heavily on the running game at least early on in the season (Zorn has said as much) so having a strong running game is going to be key if we hope to start strong out of the gate and have a successful season.

I agree, especially given that 3 of our first 5 games are on the road vs divisional opponents. It's going to be very important to control the clock in those games and keep the D as fresh as possible.

I would say the health of the offensive line is a major factor, too. It also directly coincides with a strong rushing attack.

we have seen glimpses of JC's playmaking last year. I think Health of OL will make him better. so its on the OL.

Jason Campbell is the key to the Skins season. Period.

Jason Campbell is a huge piece to the puzzle, but just as many others have said, it all begins with health. No team in the NFL can win when their team is destroyed by injuries.

Videos of our opponents first half signals to help with our second half adjustments and then having the NFL look the other way.

Then Zorn should be punished, then sign an extension that pays him enough in bonuses to compensate for the penalty...
