I know "Preseason doesn't matter", but if it did...

My preseason prediction, that Jeremy Bridges beats out Randy Thomas for the starting RG spot.
Do you think Thomas gets cut then?

Speaking of Thomas, I want to see how Robert Thomas and Chris Wilson do. Thomas may be a sleeper free agent. And I want to see if Wilson can make a full-time adjustment to playing linebacker. Other than that, I'm not really that interested in the defense. I'm not worried about them this year.

What I want to see is the offense, specifically the starters. I want to see that the off-season was put to some good use.

And, of course...Chase Daniel!!!!!

(on a related note, this morning was one of those "it's great to work here" days as I got to spend a little time chatting with Joe Gibbs about the Redskins and other things. He had nothing earth shattering to say really. Still, it was cool to chat)

Wow. That doesn't suck. Good stuff.

10 things I would like to see, in no particular order:

1) No significant injuries
2) The starting O-line to come together, with Bridges and Mike Williams playing at a high level
3) Orakpo getting to the QB a few times and looking comfortable while playing SLB if we really are going to insist on changing his position (which we shouldn't)
4) Thomas, Kelly, and Fred Davis all to play as much as possible and look crisp and comfortable while doing so. I know Kelly's knee is a concern, but I want to see what he's got. If he can't stay healthy in the preseason, he won't be able to stay healthy during the regular season. Play him.
5) Dominick Dorsey or Anthony Alridge to play well enough to make the roster and give us another dimension in the return game and out of the backfield
6) Jason to look sharp and decisive.
7) Colt to play well enough to unseat Todd Collins as the unquestioned #1 clip board holder
8) Kevin Barnes to beat out Smoot as the #3 corner
9) Robert Henson and/or Cody Glenn to play well enough to make the roster
10) Someone, anyone, to play well enough that we don't eff around too much with the whole Orakpo at SLB thing. I want to see his hand in the dirt, using that motor to terrorize QB's.
