Moving Up: Clinton Portis, RB Portis packed on ten pounds of muscle this season. He knows Joe Gibbs is going to run him into the ground. The offense has also changed their running attack this off-season to suit Portis's slashing style. They want to open up the field for him. He didn't have much patience in tight spots last season.

Moving Down: Redskins defense Antonio Pierce is gone and his replacement is Lemar Marshall? Fred Smoot is gone and his replacement is Walt Harris? No. 9 pick Carlos Rogers has a stress fracture in his foot and won't be ready for camp. LaVar Arrington has a bum knee and can't stay out of trouble. The no-name defensive line got no help this season. It will take magic for defensive coordinator Gregg Williams to maintain his powerful defense.

Arrington can't stay out of trouble? Did Sean Taylor and Arrington morph into one person? With the exception of that, at this point I have to agree on paper with the overall assessment. I'm glad at least that someone nationally has acknowledged that Gibbs has revamped the offense to suit Portis and it won't be the same plunge, dive, counter offense that it was last year.
