Half way through, who/what is your REDSKIN,

1. MVP -

2. Biggest Surprise -

3. Biggest Dissapointment -

4. Best Move (can be personel, strategy) -

5. Worst Move (can be personel, strategy) -

I say in order

1. Santana Moss
2. 5-3 record against a tough schedule
3. Giants loss
4. Yanking out Ramsey and starting Brunell
5. Clinton's lack of production (I'm not ignoring his hustle and toughness)

[MTK]

1. MVP - Brunell/Moss

2. Biggest Surprise - Brunell

3. Biggest Dissapointment - defensive line

4. Best Move (can be personel, strategy) - 1) Moss for Coles, 2) making Brunell the starter

5. Worst Move (can be personel, strategy) - 1) Not having an open QB competition in camp, 2) not upgrading the defensive line.

[jamf]

1. Moss

2. Brunell

3. Oline

4. Ramsey benched

5. Lack of; not bringing in a true blocking TE like gibbs used to have in don warren.

[BrudLee]

1. MVP - Santana Moss. The numbers don't lie.

2. Biggest Surprise - Mark Brunell having a pulse, much less an arm.

3. Biggest Dissapointment - The inability to close the pocket on defense.

4. Best Move (can be personnel, strategy) - The open rotation of Portis and Betts. We've never had to look at a tired RB in our backfield. Not many teams can say that.

5. Worst Move (can be personnel, strategy) - Not upgrading the D line.

[firstdown]

1.Moss/Brunell
2.Moss/Brunell I think for the first two I had to pick both because Moss would not have the big plays without Brunells passing and Brunell who would have known that he would be playing lights out football after last year.
3.D Line
4.Switching to Brunell
5.After watching our D the first half I will now have to say letting go of Pierce.

[davy]

1. MVP - Brunell and Moss, can't split them.

2. Biggest Surprise - Winning in Dallas.

3. Biggest Disapointment - Losing in NY.

4. Best Move (can be personel, strategy) - Moss for Coles.

5. Worst Move (can be personel, strategy) - Letting Pierce go.

Santana Moss--he's opened up the offense with his speed and play-making abilities
Mark Brunell (again)--what an amazing comeback; he's shown real toughness and leadership
Antonio Brown--I think everyone thought he's was gonna be a weapon on special teams and in the offense
Mike Sellers in the red zone--he's been a beast as a receiver, runner, and blocker
Not finding a pash rusher for DL in the middle rounds of the draft--Manuel White is out with injury (plus Cooley, Royal, and Sellers are doing fine without him); we still don't have a pass rusher on the line

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I agree with you guys on a lot here...

1. MVP - Brunell/Moss

2. Biggest Surprise - Sellers, I KNEW that Brunell had it one time, but I NEVER thought that Sellers had it.

3. Biggest Dissapointment - Run defense.

4. Best Move (can be personel, strategy) - 1) Moss for Coles, 2) making Brunell the starter

5. Worst Move (can be personel, strategy) - 1) Picking Jason Campbell in the draft when there were other glaring needs.

[SmootSmack]

1. Moss-He could go under biggest surprise as well
2. Patten-A disappointing surprise
3. Jacobs-Yet again
4. Implementing the Shotgun-It's really added a whole new dimension to the offense
5. Still need a pass rusher

[JoeRedskin]

1. MVP - Moss, with a nod to Brunnell. Moss transformed the offense with his deep threat ability and, again with a nod to Brunnell, won the Dallas game. Given our previous QB situation, it's hard to give the MVP to a WR because Brunnell has been so key in the offense's rejuvination but, w/o Moss, Brunnell would not have the numbers he has.

2. Biggest Surprise - Brunnell. He can actually throw the ball deep and accurate. Who woulda thunk it? Not a Ramsey backer like me (BTW - I am a convert).

3. Biggest Dissapointment - The defensive line. I know they have been struck by injuries and not much was expected of them - but they seem to have set their expectations low and then failed to meet them.

4. Best Move (can be personel, strategy) - Santanna Moss. Duh!!!

5. Worst Move (can be personel, strategy) - Tough one. For now, I'll say giving up next year's number 1 pick for Campbell. Campbell may pan out but, for now, I will go with that as, at 5-3 with a win in Dallas and a victory over the Eagles, I am very satisfied with the team as a whole.


We have had a tough schedule in the first half and come out okay. If we can do one game better during the second half we are a lock for the playoffs. The second half schedule is, to me, just as tough as the first half but I think we are a better team (despite the NY debacle).

Crossing my fingers for the future.

[Redskins_P]
