JC impressed me with his wheels last year, so much so that I couldn't understand why they didn't roll him out on goal-line plays or run some QB sneaks/draws more often. But I digress. Definitely looking for a little more creativity next year. I think we'll see it.

I agree 100% with your observation of the offense. We have ARE who could be used for the wild Kat formation especial on short yardage and goaline situations which would give other teams more to prepare for.

I found the same thing interesting.

If you read the Redskins section, the quarterbacks section, and the receivers section, you see that the FO folks are really, really critical of our receivers. Devin Thomas, please break out this year (despite your FO projection) and shut those guys up!

I am extremely hesitant to make a prediction on wins this year...this is the first time in a LONG time I haven't done it. If Campbell doesn't improve and we have to rely on Portis again, we're looking at a 7 or 8 win season at best. But if Campbell "gets it" then we could easily see 10-12 wins. He showed progression last year, and at a glance it appears he will improve, but I won't know for sure until I see him play.
