Keep bringing in young depth.

I'm not entirely sure if Tanard Jackson returns. He's proven that he can't stop using drugs and getting suspended. Meriweather is a lock at strong safety for sure. Chase Minnifield was the first player to be placed on IR this season for the Redskins. Not sure how his rehab is going, but he's sure to be back next season and win a job. I still feel FS is our most pressing need. Polumbus and Hurt have done a tremendous job at the RT position. A lot of people like criticizing Polumbus, but he has been consistent.

I feel like we've been scheming to help Polumbus more than anything. Either way, I won't pretend to do enough study of our OL to say definitively one way or another. I can respect the opinion on Tanard. I guess it depends on how much cash we have floating around to get players. I don't want to depend on late round rookies to start for this team. If they win a spot, great, but I think its good to have a vet there.

Good pics from last night's game. I especially like the one with Danny wearing the Skins toboggan.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what round a player gets drafted in. Bruce Allen can surely find value in any round. Tanard Jackson himself was a 4th round draft pick and is one of the best free safeties in the NFL when he's not in trouble. Bruce Allen drafted him in Tampa Bay.

Rob Jackson, one of Vinny Cerrato's better picks, was a 7th rounder. You can always find great value at certain positions in any round of the draft.

I completely agree that you can find that talent, however, I don't want to rely on those picks as rookies to make our team go. If they earn that spot, then no one will be happeier than me, just rather not thrust players that aren't ready into the spotlight.

Goddamn winning feels good.

Been a 'Skins fan since I was born in 1975. So many of the last twenty years, bleedin' burgundy and gold, wearing my colors when all the other teams in the NFCE were relevant and we were always dysfunctionally dead last and even that upstart in B-More was consistently making more waves and in contention talks.

I honestly had forgotten what this feels like. SOOOO much pleasure was taken today in wearing my colors to work and not even having to say anything to all the butthurt Cowpokes fans, just knowing they was mad LLS.

On my Facebook feed, I said after the Ravens win that the 'Skins were going to run the table and that whoever won the NFCE was going to the Superbowl, and I got figuratively laughed outta my feed by all the hatters.

I'm the only one laughing now, and I honestly feel like I have been underplaying what we have going on here because of the Hangover of the Decades of Suck.

We are going to run the table in the playoffs, gentlemen. Everything Robert brought to Baylor he has brought to us. He's fearless. He's special. We are lucky to have him as a 'Skin, 'cause he and the team he leads and infects with that specialness are gonna be an absolute terror in the NFL.

Robert's going to get his first Superbowl appearance in his rookie year, and he's going to meet Andrew Luck there and we are going to have the first rookie QB Superbowl meeting in the history of the NFL.

Hail to the Redskins. That is all I have to say.

Wonderful post. My plight with the Redskins is similar to yours. I've too been a Redskins fan since the mid/late 1970s and I've been there for the ups and downs with this franchise for all of my life. This past 2012 season was indeed special. I haven't felt this excited and this confident about the Redskins since 1991, the last time we won the Super Bowl.
