Big C! I was talking about the sports journalists, not you! Sorry, should have made that clear. Guess I'm just ready for it to begin for real, and I'm getting tired of all the predictions, etc. And it's not even July!

cowboys and redskins don't have receivers??? man... i'd hate to play a team that does then. We even got good QBs to throw to them, unlike a certain team in an undisclosed dallas location

[memphisskin]

Our offense was simply offensive last year, it was Coles and little else. There's a reason we went 5-11, and our receivers weren't a B last year. Matter of fact, there was no position on our team last year that would rate a B, unless you were strictly speaking about cornerbacks.

And I definitely don't agree. The productivity was down across the board last year and when Ramsey got hurt we were pretty much done. This is a new season, but there hasn't even been a preseason game so I think the Sporting News is a little lazy and is underestimating the new coaching staff.

If I could see the offense run about 50 less wide receiver screens this season, I'll be happy.

truer words have never been spoken. there were what, 4 or 5 of them a game almost? the only ones that worked for anything were the ones to gardner for him to throw down field.

yeah, running 5 receiver sets so often is begging to have your QB killed. Mccants did have 6 TDs and short yardage, so i'd count that too. We also have trash here and taylor is actually going to get some minutes, so i can't really see eye to eye with such a low ranking... maybe someone's lazy, or they just don't like washington.

memphisskin,
Thank you for pointing out the obvious to all the prognosticators and the Rod Gardner haters. Everyone but Coles played bad and made mistakes last year.
It is amazing how some think the new coaching staff is going to magically fix everyone but Rod Gardner.
I don't know why Gardner is the fall guy for last year?
By the way, Rod Gardners trade value is low. For those that think we will get an impact player for him are probably the same people that thought we would get a first round pick for Trotter, Canidate and who ever else we ended up releasing for free.
