Well, we've certainly invested more in our line this year than any other team in the division, and it's not all that close.

Does that mean we'll get better results than teams who invested less in their lines this year? Actually...maybe.

(This is from August 2009)

(T)he trends that we identify in the book are still there. The strongest trend in identifying "surprise" teams is still drafting an offensive lineman in the first dozen picks, like last year's Dolphins and the 2007 Browns. This is still a team that is likely to be much healthier and nowhere near as bad in the red zone [as last year].

...

We know that every year some team that has been losing for a couple seasons will come out of nowhere to have a winning season. Everyone wants to figure out how to predict that team, and we're no different. We looked closely to try to figure out what trends pointed to a team about to break out.

That quote was not written about the 2010 Redskins, however, I didn't have to add any words to make it sound like it was. Only had to pull out team- and division-specific references.
