With the addition of Fletch and possibly Landry starting on opening day, a lot is left to the imagination. The D could come out with a huge chip on its shoulder, or could very easily fall flat on its face.
The Dolphins O is definately going to be shaky if Trent is going to be their opening day starter. He ha a lot to learn about this new offense and little time to do it in. Veteran or not, this is going to be a difficult task for him. He will have to rely on Ronnie Brown, and possibly Ricky "I Stay High" Williams.
I think in the end, the D is going to harass TG, and in the back of Trent's mind is going to be the hit he took last season. I think The Skin's D shuts them down.

Skin's O vs. Dolphin's D

These are much stronger portions of each offense. The Skins O began to gel coming down to the end of the season, with a rook QB and without CP. With JC vastly improving, CP and Ladell being healthy, and a better rapport with each of the receivers, this is going to be a dangerous unit.
However, don't doubt the Dolphin's D. The unit may be aging, but they are still quite good. Look for them to try and rattle JC early with exotic blitzes.
You can't predict which unit is going to outshine the other, so I'm going to call this one a stalemate.

Special Teams.

To be honest, the only person I remember off the Dolphin's ST, was Wes Welker, and he's gone, so I'm going to assume that the play of the Dolphin's ST has declined. I don't think the Skin's ST has. That is clearly one of Gibbs' pride and joy, and we've only added players to what was a highlight unit last season. I may be biased, but I believe that the Skins win this matchup.

My logic and beliefs may very well be flawed, but I think the Redskins should come out victorious. My score Skins: 34
Dolphins: 20

Not a bad anaylsis. However, there RB tandem will be Brown & Chatman. There is a slim to none chance of dope head Ricky Williams ever wearing a Fins uniform again, I think slim just left town.

Here is a recent interview with Cam on the status of suspended Ricky W.

That's right, and as for special teams, they did bring in Ted Ginn who will replace Wes Walker.

Their running backs are Brown and 3rd round pick Lorenzo Booker.

There real RB's are Jesse Chatman & Ronnie Brown. Lorenzo Booker has never played a down in the NFL...?

He's probably still better than Jesse Chatman. Booker will be good.
