"10-win season should be their rock-bottom minimum"
WASHINGTON
We know all eyes seem to be on Texas, with the Cowboys signing you-know-who and finally landing a kicker, Mike Vanderjagt, who can decide a few close games all by himself. But let's not forget it was the Redskins that nobody wanted to play in last season's final month after they won their last five regular-season games and a wild-card game at Tampa Bay. Washington's defense was making plays all over the field down the stretch, and we think it's going to be even better without the LaVar Arrington situation to worry about. New offensive coordinator Al Saunders knows how to best use his weapons, and his play-calling touch could do for the offense what coordinator Gregg Williams has done for the defense. The Redskins won't sneak up on anyone this time around, but another 10-win season should be their rock-bottom minimum.
Preseason's just a tease! Better than no football at all, I suppose, but it's usually nobodies by the second half, and you run the risk of a starter going down for the season. Didn't J. Jansen miss the '04 season because of a preseason injury? Still, it will be nice to see the '06 Redskins take the field for the first team, even if it is only preseason!

I love the preseason. Im content as long as Im getting a steady stream of news. It'd be easier of the forums didn't die off so sharply during the offseason.
I find watching the 2nd half of the preseason games more interesting. Its cool watching people surprise us and the coaches.
