The disease has hit me again

I have hope for the team and one of the reasons I think they can do great is the conference we are in! If we were in the AFC I would be much more worried, (kind of reminds me of the NBA Eastern Conference compared to the loaded Western Conference). As long as we don't have to go through New England, Indy or any of the other powerful AFC teams in the regular season and playoffs we have hope.

Overall even if we go 9-7 that is still not bad considering it will be the 1st full year with Jason Campbell as the starter. Yeah the Defense had a bad year last year, but maybe the additions of Smoot and Fletcher will really turn things around and get us to the level of the previous 2 years.

I was kind of glad that we did not go out there and become huge players in free agency and that the team showed some restraint. I think this year there were a large number of teams way under the cap and a lot of the teams decided to spend lavishly on players that are not going to live up to their contracts. Is Dockery really going to prove he is worth the massive signing bonus he is getting? How about Nate Clements - would you as a GM want that much of your cap tied to one player? I think depth is something that needs to be addressed as injuries are probably going to occur. Hopefully on D the Skins have got some depth at LB and the secondary and lets hold our breath and hope the D-Line gets by with what they got.

Finally I love that the media has counted the Skins out. We are on noone's radar and we are going to surprise some teams come next year.
