2007 in Review/2008 Preview

[GTripp0012]

Best on field moment: Landry's jarring hit on Kevin Curtis to seal the eight point victory over Philadelphia. Either that or Campbell's TD to Cooley to close out the first half.

Worst on field moment: Brian Westbrook's 52 yard screen pass reception to beat us in the last game Sean ever played in.

Offensive MVP: Jason Campbell/Todd Collins. The Quarterback play on the whole this year was exceptional. Collins was better than Campbell, but let us not forget how well Jason played in only his 3rd season.

The Quarterback is usually going to get the offensive MVP because he has the most chances, and when the running game struggles as much as it did this year, it's really a simple choice.

Defensive MVP: Sean Taylor/London Fletcher. Taylor was the MVP for the the first half of the year, Fletcher was the 2nd.

Offensive Player I'm looking forward to watching in '08: Campbell.

Defensive Player I'm looking forward to watching in '08: Carlos Rogers/whoever we draft. Rogers, I though, was really having a great year before his injury. With the age on this defense, I expect our highest defensive draft pick to start from day one.

Offensive Player who surprised you (good & bad)
Good: Stephon Heyer
Bad: Casey Rabach. I know your role changes when you are playing next to Fabini instead of Thomas, but my god, I think 50/50 lives once more, and he's manifested himself in lineman form.

Defensive Player who surprised you (good & bad)
Good: Randall Godfrey. In the face of injury to both OLBs, Godfrey stepped right in and ate up runners every play. Andre Carter gets an honorable mention.
Bad: Cornelius Griffin. He was playing great at mid year, but from that point on, we lacked a competant 2nd force in our pass rush after Carter. Griffin was great early on, but he's not all that valuable if he loses his explosiveness by every November.

Non Redskins player I'd like to see in a Redskins Uni next year: Brian Kelly, CB, Tampa Bay

Redskins player I'd like to see in another uni next year: Brandon Lloyd. Oh god get this guy out of here. The 53 man roster card gently weeps at night.
