What Is RIGHT with the Redskins?

When you look at two football teams lined up pre-snap, 11 on 11, what should be right with a team should start at the core- the front lines on both sides- and be built around that. Unfortunately we don't have that, at least as far as offense is concerned.

However, as SportsCurmudgeon points out, we have some very solid complimentary pieces. I don't think we're too far off from taking this pretty average team to pretty good. We need to build up the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, particularly offense.

But we've got pass catchers, all of whom are under 30 (thrash aside), a pair of very good backs, a solid young QB, a monster FB, and a damn good good defense.

Fix the o-line up and get more comfortable in WCO, and we could contend.

Absolutely! We're not as bad as we sometimes look. Sometimes small, correctable things can make you look terrible when not executed properly. A couple of linemen, some more time in the WCO....we're closer than alot of people think. To hear some of our fellow posters you would think we'd be 0-13 since our personel and coaching supposedly "suck" so bad. It's a shame our rookies did'nt come in and tear up the league as some apparently thought they should, but given a little more time I think our rookies are going to turn out pretty good and our team as well. With growing, there are growing pains. No matter if we make the playoffs or not, I'm looking forward to next year because the WCO takes time and I believe we will get better.
