Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I'm going with Ramsey for several reasons.

First, I'm a big fan of Ramsey - hence my screen name.

Second, I have faith in Gibbs and his ability to make a QB look good. Look what he did for Brunell. Seriously though, Gibbs will make Ramsey look good.

Third, I still STRONGLY believe that Ramsey has enormous potential. Give the guy a good coaching staff (which he has), a good offensive line (which he'll have with Rabach and Jansen), a good running back (which he has with Portis), and decent wideouts and any quarterback will look decent. For those reasons, I think Ramsey will shine.

Fourth, I think Ramsey has the respect of his teammates. He's young, tough, a gun-slinger, and is a "team-guy."

[QUOTE=canthetuna]Oh and I think they were talking abouit someone returning from an injury last year guys... Ramsey finished the season.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I can understand all the Ramsey talk but I suppose I should have been clearer in the initial post. I did mean a player that we missed for most of last season due to injury. I guess I could have thrown John Hall in there as well.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I went with Jansen, though I think Barrow getting significant minutes might be the NFL's comeback story of the year.

So much of our offensive woes last year were based on a patchwork offensive line. Jansen is a stellar run blocker, which would have helped Portis. Better runs mean better play action. Better play action means defenses adjust to us, not the other way around.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

Arrington,Jansen and Barrow will all have great years! Barrow will take away the sting away from the loss of Pierce and give us time get a draft pick ready when he is done! Arrington also will help that as well just being on the field. As for Jansen I really think he will be a big part to the O getting back to what it should be!!!!

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I voted Arrington because I think he will add so much to the defense, he's a dynamic player who Williams will take full advantage of.

But I do think Jansen's return will be HUGE to the offensive line.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I went with Jansen. I think the oline was very meidocre and he will add alot. I'm also very excited to see Arrington for obvious reasons. However; I am very excited to see Matt Bowen back in action this year. I know he's not the best cover guy, but they were blitzing him like crazy last year and it worked alot! I cant wait for September.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

jasen, hands down we now know who the captian of the guard is. it's not samuels but jansen. the line never recovered from his loss. main reason why the offense sucked last year.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I'm not going to bash Bowen, but I think we are all being a little premature in saying how his return will bolster the D so much. He only played in what, one game? I DID like the fact that, unlike Smoot, he DID end up actually hitting the QB when he blitzed.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I went with Jansen. He may be the best most consistent player on the team. He is also the unquestioned leader of the offense. The O-line and the entire team missed him badly.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

Jansen without a doubt! He will help us out tremendously with the offensive line this year! Our D appears to be quite flexible (not in the sense of playing but being able to plug in other players), so I feel Arrington's "comeback" will be overshadowed by Jansens.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

I would like to think it would be overshadowed, but we all know how publicity goes with the offensive line. Jansen will come back and Portis will rush for 1500+ yards and it will be all "the great running of Portis." Also, being the big star Arrington is, I just have this feeling that Jansen will not get his credit when it is due.

Only the "educated" fans like us will really notice and give him his props.

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

Sean Taylor and Lavar Arrington on the field at the same time for sixteen games. The oppossing offense will need 14 players. :biggthump

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

And MAYBE Rolle...

Yep! Right on!

Re: Comeback Redskin of 2005
 

i think jansen and arrington will both have great comeback seasons. lavar has playmaker ability, which should result in more turnovers for us, and jansen will boost the offensive line and he is the unquestioned leader of the o line, but i think we should cut bowen. he had a couple good games last year, but we did fine without him(don't mention arrington because he is uncomparable to bowen in terms of talent) but if we did keep him i would like to see what he would be like at cornerback. or maybe they could move ryan clark or another safety to cornerback to fill smoot's void.
