Are The Redskins the Team to Beat in the NFC?
Okay, everyone knows preseason means nothing. But if you were to discuss overall team depth and precision thus far, the Washington Redskins would have to command your attention.
They’ve got three quarterbacks ready for NFL contribution. Two with playoff experience, and one gunslingin’ rookie who is a favorite of gay Redskin fans. Their defense, which has been statistically in the top half of the league for several years now, got an upgrade with a Jason Taylor and healthy corners. For now.
And of course, they have a so-far competent, likable coach who spends his free time fancying mountain bikes.
This is not to mention the Redskins’ receiving corp, comprised of role players, Pro Bowlers, Super Bowl champions and rappin’ rookies.
From top to bottom, the Washington Redskins look good and don’t show any signs of crumbling in the first half of the season. The logical choices for NFC East dominance are the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, but the Cowboys aren’t as deep as the Skins’ and the Giants aren’t as young as the Skins’.
This team has dark horse written all over it, wouldn’t you say?

The Giants aren’t as young as the skins? You’re nuts…..first of all, you need a mix of youth and veteran leadership….next go look at the giants roster again and read where the column DOB is listed at the top….then go and re-write your article.
Everybody is picking the Skins to finish last in the NFC East, and as a Skins fan, I really don’t mind being slept on all that much.
Eli and the Giants won the Super Bowl and all that…..good for them. But they are far from being out of murky water…..they can just as easily be 6-10 this year, but everyone is giving them a pass because of the ring…..and that’s certainly understandable, but still.
