I share a lot of the concerns that the blog had but simply don't consider all of the concerns as things to be "scared" about any more than other teams. Everyone has issues in the NFL.

What I am most scared of in the feeling I get from this year's team. I don't like the expectations. In fact the expectations feel a lot the same as in 2000 when we had just made the playoffs and then brought in some FAs to shore up the problem spots. I think we brought in Rhodes to be d-coord too. This year feels way too much like that year and we tanked. Of course the biggest difference is that Norv isn't our h-coach now. I think it is ok to say Gibbs is slightly better.

I think the fact that Gibbs is still our coach will make all the difference. Personally, I love all the off-season moves - Saunders included. But the biggest off-season move was, in fact, a non move. Gibbs is back!! And one thing he does well, besides Xs and Os, is that he manages expectations very, very well. He knows how to play down what the media is saying good or bad, but privately he can be intense and knows how to get players to show up. He knows how to set the temparature in the locker room.
Gibbs is a Redskin through and through - down to the last drop!
Redskins beget Redskins. Whether we have Al Saunders (..and I certainly think he'll add a lot) or no, I'd still put my money on Joe this year!
