Re: How will you measure success?

For me, success from these guy will be measured in both tangibles and intangibles.

Jason Campbell
-Tangible: 3500+ yds, 20+ TDs, 10 or less INTs, a rating in the high 80s or better. How about a few hundred rushing yards? We saw late in the season how valuable an asset his legs can be.
-Intangible: As someone mentioned earlier, I'd like to see him step up and become THE leader of the team. I don't need him to be all rah-rah, but maybe a few late game rallies and a total command of the offense would be great. How will he turn the trade speculation into fuel for performance?

Devin Thomas
-Tangible: In the neighborhood of 30 catches, and 3-5 TDs. Also, I'd like to see signs of him becoming a deep threat. He's got the speed for sure. Unless he or Kelly overtake ARE for the #2, it's hard to expect more than 30 catches with two WRs and a TE in front of him as Campbell's go-to guys.
-Intangible: Work ethic and playbook knowledge. He needs to work as hard or harder than anyone on our offense to show he cares and belongs. Maturity, Devin. Let's see it.

Malcolm Kelly
-Tangible: See Devin Thomas. The exception being, rather than him develop as a deep threat, I'd like to see him develop as a red-zone threat. Nothing would make me happier than to see him catch some jump balls or fade routes in the end-zone a la Plaxico and Fitzgerald.
-Intangible: Don't know if this falls in this category, but HEALTH. I hope the knee issues are behind him. Unfortunately I doubt it.

Big Albert
-Tangible: If Greg Blache allows him to freelance like the Titans did, I see no reason why we shouldn't get a monster season out of Haynesworth. I think Blache already said he would let him do his thing, which is a positive.
-Intangible: How will he play now that he got his gigantic payday? He's saying all the right things. Let's see if he backs it up on the field. For the record I think he will.

D.Hall
-Tangible: Hall is paid like a shut-down corner. He needs to perform like one. I want to see him lock down our opponents #1 WRs. His style is a great fit for Blache's scheme. He played well for us last year. Keep it up and he'll be damn good for us. And teach Carlos some ball skills, would ya?
-Intangible: Character. He was a model citizen last year for us while knowing a big day was on the line. Now that he's got his money, will he become a malcontent?

I know it's not part of the original post, but obviously a big measure of the Redskins' 2009 success will be O-line. They need to stay healthy. That's numero uno for them.
