If the reason for last years poor D is because of 2 players then this team needs a new d coordinator. I think last years bad D was due to the personell and scheme not matching up well. Hopefully the coaches can do a better job of putting this D (and the team as a whole) in a better position to win.

So you'd argue that a genius DC could win with both of them?
Would you also argue that had Springs been healthy and Rocky started the whole season we wouldn't have been better? By your argument, teams shouldn't trade specific players, they should just trade whole defenses since it's all about scheme.

I dont think the DC would need to be a genius but I do think that had the schemes been better suited to the talent they might have won a few more games last year.

Springs being out made a big difference last season. I think had those players been healthy the scheme would have fit better.

Its not all about players or all about scheme. Its a mix of both that the organization has to get correct. I would say that a really smart organization would not have signed AA in the first place (especially at that $ level) because they would have recognized he did not fit into the scheme.

Here's my 2 cents:

Skins will go 10-6 as the defense improves greatly and the offense grows along with Jason Campbell, but there are some rough learning games. Brunell will only be inserted if injury occurs as Gibbs puts his trust with JC.

Shawn Springs will get injured again and that will be his last game in a Skins uniform as his cap number will make him expendable. In his place Fred Smoot returns to form and is considered a great pickup for the Skins.

Brandon Llyod will continue his lackluster production and will be a cap cut next offseason. Moss will return to form and put up nice numbers. The Skins will than use one of their first day picks on a reciever hoping he can take pressure off Moss.

The Defensive line will be ok with Carter and Griffin providing solid play. Either Goldston or Montgomery will emerge as a player the Skins can pencil in as a starter for years to come. In the offseason Daniels and Wynn will both be gone due to the cap hits.

Suisam and Frost will provide stability in the kicking game and this will add a win or two to the season.

One of the offensive lineman starters will go down to injury as last season's good health is abnormal in the NFL these days. If one of the tackles go down Wade will take over the Tackle spot with Whittaker surprising many replacing Wade at Guard. If one of the guards go down Whittaker will replace him directly and do a good job.

Portis will return to form and make a lot of people say Ladell who.

Finally, in the offseason Art Monk will finally be admitted to the Hall of Fame.

I like everything, including seeing most of it coming true...except Brandon Lloyd. I really see him breaking out this year. I think We'll see around a 1000 yard season from him. I know that might be a stretch, but this kid is talented, and from everything I have read, his mind is right this year. I also thinks he knows that if he can't make it here, he won't be given a chance anywhere else either. He will step it up. I guarentee it.

I hope you are right. If that is the case than I see the Redskins using a first day pick on a defensive lineman (end over tackle).

Also I forgot to mention in the previous post that Chris Cooley will be resigned to a long term deal and Sean Taylor will want a new contract which the Skins will grant (although I think they may have another cap cut or two along with more restructing but that is almost a given!)

I hope I am too. It would be a waste of talent otherwise.

I can see that as well.
