KC Joyner picks skins...
 

It seems like more and more of these experts are starting to lean towards giving the skins some credit heres a little snip from a chat with KC Joyner on espn...

[B]Matthew (Modesto,CA):[/B] Who is this years sleeper team?

[IMG]http://espn-att.starwave.com/i/sn2.gif[/IMG] [B]KC Joyner: [/B][I](4:09 PM ET )[/I] I really like what the Redskins have been doing. I think they overpaid for Brandon Lloyd, but having Lloyd and Randle El will give the depth at WR they sorely lacked last year. I also like the pickups of Andre Carter and Adam Archuleta. It will be a tough division to win but Gibbs knows how to pace his team for the playoff run.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

another gem:

[B]Ron (DC):[/B] How does your system rank Santana Moss who exploded offensively last season.

[IMG]http://espn-att.starwave.com/i/sn2.gif[/IMG] [B]KC Joyner: [/B][I](4:53 PM ET )[/I] Santana Moss was the #1 receiver in TYPCA last year. He averaged 28 yards per deep pass attempt, which is a ridiculously high number. He wasn't just good last year. He was dominant.

Good stuff. I certainly wouldn't call the Skins a sleeper tho.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

Yea I think are days of sneaking up on teams are over. Some fans around the U.S might still not know about the Redskins yet. But you can be assured the others coaches and players do.

Sorry:embarrass

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

all i know is santana had a bunch of stat lines like:
2 catches for 74 yards...

he doesn't need to touch it that much to be effective.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

yeah i dont really agree with the sleeper comment myself, but otherwise i do like to see some support finally comin our way, but i mean who can blame these guys they only get paid to watch sports all the time, who has time to pay attention to the playoffs?:rolleyes:

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

i would like to see this guys comments on gibbs from last year. yuo can bet he wasnt as impressed with his leadership abilities last year at this time and he was talking shit like everybody else saying gibbs no longer has what it takes. that type of shit gets on my nerves.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

I believe we are ready to win a SB but it all comes down to QB, and IMO that's a big question mark, even if Brunell steps up in the new offense can he stay healthy enough through the entire season? If not we have a problem Campbell I don't believe can win a SB at least not yet, which leaves us with a career backup in Collins who we really don't no how he will respond as a starter?

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

lets keep playing the under the radar thing. there is no way we are a sleeper team with all our ingredients

Wouldn't matter who played. That could keep this team from achieving great things. However there is no more reason for Redskin fans to worry about Brunell's health than any of the other 31 teams have to worry about their QBs health. Even with the recent broken finger, it's a non issue. Sure he might get injured and miss game time, but theres no reason to assume he will.

nice post but i would have to respectfully disagree with your one dimensional remark.

the skins have too many weapons on offense to become one dimensional. between moss, EL, Lloyd, cooley and portis defenses can't just stack the box to prevent the run. i think saunders would call just as many pass plays with campbell under center as he would with brunell, plus campbell would also be a threat to run as brunell was from time to time last year.

just my thoughts on the situation.

Actually, I bet he wasn't one of those guys. Joyner is all stats. He is pretty objective when comes to his analysis. He may not have given us glowing reviews but, if he dissed us, he would have backed it up with stats. Generally, he doesn't trash teams but rather says things like "if they want to improve they need increase their run/pass ratio" and stuff like that.

just my thoughts on the situation.[/quote]You are right to an extent. But the part I bolded, while is not necessarily something I disagree with, would be a problem. Brunell has impressively low INT totals, and Campbell would be a rookie. So if the playcalling didn't change, there would be a lot more game changing is. If the playcalling does change, you lose offensive efficency. It would create a bad situation

Just my two cents.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

i feeel that it is gonna be this yr or next yr guys really
gibbs is a w-i-n-n-e-r it will happen 2006-2007

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

Who among us really thinks that Gibbs and Saunders have not given consideration to the possibility that Brunell may not start every game this year? Does anyone really believe they have NOT carefully planned fior that eventuality? These guys are MANIACS. They have TOTALLY mapped every scenario in which Brunell may be sidelined, and that of his replacement. Brunell goes down=dead in the water..........................Hardly

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

Brunnell deserves more credit than he gets. When was the last time a QB in DC had the numbers he did last season? Watch the highlights. He's really accurate and can throw a 40-50 yd bomb to Moss twice within a few mins...
Go back and watch film from last season. Brunnell is not the problem.

I'd agree, but honestly it doesn't worry me about the QB situation. I'd love to win the SB this year, but I'm not counting on it.

If Brunell stays healthy and keeps up his production I'll be thrilled becuase we'll keep playing like we did last year.

If Brunell goes down and Campbell comes in, I'll still be thrilled. Sure it will probably be rough at first with a rookie at the helm, but overall I'll be excited to see the "QB of the future" step up and start playing.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

The Skins might not be a sleeper to us, but I think to alot of people out there we're still flying low under the radar. The Giants and Cowboys both get more hype, which is fine with me.

I wonder if alot of people realize the Skins were 5-1 in the division last year. Just seems odd that so many are so quick to overlook the Skins.

Re: KC Joyner picks skins...
 

I know it's early, and I know it's easy to feel hyped when nobody's playing - But DAMN, I am psyched for next year.

This is a team that, despite some turnover, is essentially the same group that started out three years ago. Springs, Portis, Washington, Griffin, Brunnell, the ENTIRE O-Line (yes Rabach was new last year, but other than that these guys have been together for a while!). This defense is going to be scary good next year - they will hurt people. Receivers will be hearing footsteps every time they cross the line of scrimmage. With Saunders running the offense, the new WR's aquired, and the support it gets from the defense, this year's offense could be VERY entertaining! I know people question Brunnell, but I think he clearly has something left in the tank AND, if Gibbs follows through on the "I am gonna protect him from injury more", he will (hopefully) be fine at the end of the year. Even if Brunnell goes down, I think the Skins have created a situation for Campbell to succeed - strong running game and O-Line, excellent defense. With Campbell running the show, things might not be AS explosive, but I am betting he will do at least as well as Big Ben or Palmer (after he sat out a year).

BTW - I personally think that, other than the Saunders signing, the continuity on the O-Line is the next biggest factor in our likely success.

Okay, I am over the joy juice now.

95 days and counting to monday night.

Good point! I think of the Skins as the dominate force in the NFC. The media does not agree. Look at the props we get-like NONE. We are still the sleeper to those non-believers.
