Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

[QUOTE=CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR;331520]not trying to be negative just realistic. Sorry i dont believe the hype anymore. Prove it on the field. Then i will be postive.[/QUOTE]

I agree with that...but you can still think positive. I feel like when I think positive I help the team to think positive. (as corny as that sounds) If we, teh fans, don't think positive for our team, who will?
So what happens if we are 5-1 after 6...or even 4-2? What will you be saying?

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

i would be thrilled. I would love nothing better than have a winning record after 6 games. To have a chance to go to the playoffs we have to be at least 4-2.

[QUOTE=CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR;331500]i hope so too but we still have not dline and alot of players in there 30 or getting there. Epecailly on the lines.[/QUOTE]

Why do people think they're smarter than coaches?? We as fans dont know what is going on at practice. For all we know Phillip Daniels could be looking like he's in the best shape of his life right now. I trust the coaches they say we dont need major additions to the Dline I believe them. They're the ones watching all the game footage, they're the ones that actually knew who was out of place. All we have to rely on is the pathetic camera angles of Fox5 and maybe a instant replay. The skins defense never relied on a dominant DE or DT. If u check the stats our great players were at LB or CB or S and guess what now we have the right personnel to play skinsD. (I guess we could always bring back Charles Mann and Dexter Manley)

[QUOTE=hooskins;331371]I agree with PK because rankings arent suppose to change much from the season before. But why are you always so pessimistic? It is almost as if you waiting for it to happen so you can tell people you told em so...[/QUOTE]

I am saying the skins will win 2 or 3 more this year than last and then predicting double didgit wins next year and I'm being pessimistic? If you say so.

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

oh yeah I have the skins going 4-2 in the NFC East split with Dallas and Phl. 2-2 in the AFC East. 3-1 in the NFC North and ending the season 11-5. That's not just based on talent but also Home vs Away games, bye weeks and surrounding games.

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

[QUOTE=Beemnseven;331523]I seem to remember everybody being pretty confident we would beat Minnesota at home in the Monday Night season opener last year.

I see the same type of confidence with Miami too.

After the outright pathetic embarassment of 2006, no opponent should be taken lightly this year. Unless the Redskins start out hot, the burden of proof is on them to tell the skeptics and naysayers how wrong they are.

Come on, does anyone really deny that 2006 was the absolute worst season for the Redskins in living memory? I know '93 and '94 were worse in total wins, but in terms of expectations, let's not forget how awful it truly was. I think everyone here was completely sucker-punched as far as how bad our team was.[/QUOTE]

I think the confidence going into last year's game against Minny was well-founded. We were a playoff winning team the prior season and had, on paper, improved. It turns out our we were wrong, but that doesn't mean our confidence was crazy.

Going into this year, we have two big question marks (e.g., will the defense recover and will JC shine). We do, however, have good reason to have some confidence in our team. JC played well at the end of the season and, by all accounts, has looked very good this offseason. The defense was god-awful last year, but I have faith in GW and think the added depth at DB will do wonders for his scheme. Finally, Miami has a boatload of question marks (e.g., a new coach, a "new" but aging QB, etc.). So, I understand your point that we shouldn't take anything for granted, but Miami does not have me trembling in my boots.

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

either mann and manley would be better than daniels. who had 4 sack against some guy they pulled off the street against dallas. about 6 in the other games since them.

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

my other biggest fear is how really good are we. take away those 6 games we won in a row in 2005. are record with gibbs is to be nice below average. counting playoffs the record taking away those 6 games is 16-28.

I'm not too high on Daniels either. But like I said, hopefully with a good LB system in place, we can over come it.

Re: Pre-training camp power rankings from Peter King
 

Marcus Washington being a situational pass rusher will help.

Well, if everyone here thinks positive, we can do it. That's right...we need to be the best fans in the world if our team is going to be the best team in the world.

I love the guy, but I am unsure as to what he has left in him.
We have a couple of old LB's with Washington and Fletcher. Hopefully Rocky can be a shot in the geriatric arm!

Marcus still has plenty left in his tank. He just turned 30. That number makes me sick in the NFL. this isnt Madden people you dont have to get rid of players the second they hit 30.

Shoot, in Madden I already have a replacement waiting in the wings when they are 27-28. 30 is old. I know he still has some, but he just came off surgery.

Damn, if Carter hits 10 we need to have a freakin parade for him.
When was the last time we had a DE hit 10 or more sacks?

Damn...good call. Here are the stats:
[url=http://www.databasefootball.com/teams/teamyear.htm?tm=WAS&yr=2000&lg=nfl]Washington Redskins 2000 Stats, History, Awards and More[/url]
Coleman had 12, and Smith had 10. It was the only time Smith hit double digits for us.

I would freakin be ecstatic if we could get that kind of production out of our DE's.
