Redskins Insider: Mr. Saunders' Offense

[GMScud]

I like what I'm hearing about this offense in year two. It's important to note that we didn't make any significant personnel changes on the offensive side of the ball. That means the 7,000,000 page playbook has had plenty of time to be absorbed by all the key guys.

So last year we were 5-11. Not good. Consider these points and get excited:
-we lost 4 games by 3 points, not inclulding the OT loss @ St. Louis. Win 3 of those and we would have been .500 and possibly in the playoffs.
-Our star tailback missed half the season, and even when he was playing was never really healthy.
-we had serious inconsistency at the QB position, and threw in a JC with ZERO starts mid-season.
-we were decimated by injuries on defense
-Carlos Rodgers dropped what, like 6 or 7 INTs? (I'll give him somewhat of a pass b/c of the broken thumb). He hangs on to half of those and it could have translated into a win or two.
-Andre Carter and the pass rush really started to pick it up in the last 6 games.

With a year of this offense under our belt, healthy RBs, an unquestioned starter at QB, a healthy and improved (personnel-wise) defense, and on paper an easier schedule, how can we not be much better?

Like GTripp promised, the turnovers WILL COME this year. Look at our first 6 games. I will be happy with no less than 4-2:
Dolphins, @Eagles, Giants, Lions, @Packers, Cardinals. I look for a hot start to build a huge ball of momentum for a great season.
