We are not below the radar according to Warren Sapp.

Hey Warren! The Eagles were a super bowl contender BEFORE Vick, so what does that mean now? I'm thinking Patriots-Eagles Super Bowl this year, your thoughts? Thanks man

Warren Sapp, NFL Network
Patriots? Yes. Eagles? Fifth on my list of the NFC teams. I have Minnesota, Washington, Atlanta and Cardinals.

Please take away one of the l from below.

I've found one NFL analyst who thinks we should be good.

Link?

Clearly this is fabricated because the media hates the Redskins.

Or because Warren Sapp and hasn't been exposed to all of the necessary haters yet.

haha yeah sapp must have a screw loose. i think he is right about the eagles though, they arent that much better than before.

I no good with a Computer don't know how to do that link stuff found it on NFL WS unplugged.

Eagles were NOT a SB contender before Vick. Other than Peters who is injured and maybe McCoy at backup RB, they downgraded a ton of positions in offseason losses of Dawkins, Shepherd and others. They've lost their defensive leader and their line is already in shambles.

Vick only adds distractions.

I'm picturing Sapp strapped to a chair with his eyes pried open like in A Clockwork Orange. He's being forced to watch anti-Redskin propaganda while "Hail To The Redskins" is played backwards a full volume.

I'd like to know if he said this before or after our 1st preseason game because it seems like a lot of people are putting more stock into that than they probably should.
Either way, I like where his head is at. On paper, so take that for what its worth, we seem to be built for success now that we should have a GREAT defense and an offense that should be able to run the ball well and limit turnovers.

Sapp was a DT, so maybe he's overvaluing his position & predicting we'll be a contender because we got a beast DT.

I think every commentator is looking for that dark horse team to throw out there in august, then say in Dec.; "remember, I picked them & no one else did." The Skins are a good dark horse pick IMO, but I honestly can't say at this point we should expect to be 1 or 2 in the division. The NFC east is shaping up to be so brutal that the last place team will be better than a couple division winners.

Until our offense shows it can be score some points (and its been many years), its tough to call us a contender, IMO.

Oh ye of little faith. The Super Bowl is ours for the taking.

That's actually exactly what I was thinking. I was like, "I bet he's picking them because he thinks Haynesworth is going to have a monster year and catapult them into the playoffs."

yeah, seems rare that a former player can come right into the booth/studio in the first couple of years & not overstate their position's value. Aikman & Moose are actually a couple of the best at talking about all positions. C. Carter & Keyshawn seem to revert to wr talk in every discussion.

Amen Brother. I can't wait till we lay waste to the Giants! That's going to shock the commentators.

I guess he did not see our game last Thursday night. What a Sapp.

Maybe he did, but accepted it for what it is, a preseason game with NO bearing on the regular season record.
