Sporting News Football '08: Redskins (Magazine)

I might be in the minority on this but I'm pretty confident that JC is going to have a big year and will thrive in this offense. Remember last year vs. Detroit we used a quick hitting style of passing game and JC tore it up. I think he's at his best when he drops back and gets the ball out quick with the short to intermediate stuff. Overall I see the offense being much more wide open and aggressive. Of course there's going to be a learning curve, but if Zorn holds true to what he's said he won't overwhelm JC early on and we have a solid ground game to lean on in the meantime.

I'm not overly concerned about a drop off on the defensive side. Blache is an experienced DC in this league and guys will play hard for him. I'm a bit concerned about the DB's, specifically at the corners, but I think we have enough depth to get by until Rogers is closer to 100%.

If our OL stays healthy and our injured key defensive players (Rogers and McIntosh) come back to form quick I could see us in the playoffs and beyond. This team came so close last year and we are vastly improved in most areas, I don't think the change in the coaching philosophy will be as drastic as the experts make it to be. Our offensive line is very experienced and if free of injuries, they could dominate anyone.
