    That's like being the tallest midget at the circus. Our division was a--- last year. Nobody fears the Skins lol. And I wouldn't put much stock into a draft class until they actually play

    How bout adding galette nd norman to a defense
    then adding 6'2 wideout that can go 40 inches up to a offense that was doin work w/o a run game
    Plus i dont get u running ur mouth seeing as u a fan of a team in the nfc east
    cowboys d-line a joke... secondary not gonna hold up.. if Lee gets hurt that might be top 10 worst defenses in the league
    giants the new skins... eli not gonna survive w/ that o-line
    eagles... lmao
    skins did more than enough to compete in the offseason

    Yea cause all your other free agent signings have worked in the past. Doctson will bust, and you guys won't win the division. Literally nobody in the division cares about the redskins because you guys are good once every 5 years.

    Bro, even Gronk has difficulty when they roll coverages to him, and he's the most dominant TE in the game, and has Tom Brady throwing to him.

    Tight ends are not wide receivers, or slot receivers. If they end up getting matched against cornerbacks or even safeties, they usually have trouble. If their solution to his run blocking is "Put someone else to run block, and then put Reed in the slot" his numbers will tank because defenses will not respect him as a tight end, and they will play him as a slot receiver or wide receiver, and he's not good enough at this level to be either.

    Redskins have the most over confident fan base for winning nothing in the last 2 and a half decades.

    It blows my mind.

    I like how the Redskins have ran their organization the last few years, but the Cowboys would still be my pick to win the NFC East, because they have the most overall talent, and the Eagles and Giants are in transition.

    People can hate on Garrett or Jerry Jones, but for whatever reason, they draft some excellent talent.

    Imma keep this short nd sweet.

    In regards to ur prior comment i was referring to the overall offense's success if team key in on reed(which means his individual stats might suffer so be it). Like u said bout gronk struggling tho w/ rolled coverages usually the offense stalls when this happens cause lets be honest yall best WR been a slot guy for a while now, but brady more than makes up for it.

    Now w/ ur last comment i agree they r loaded on offense.. good/great qb, o-line, u got dez nd now ellliot cool.. but what about defense. theres sean lee nd pretty much nothing else. That d-line nd secondary aint scaring anybody. In theory, we shud be able to get norman on dez nd get away w/ stacking the box w/ man everywhere else. U take ur chance against witten, williams, beasley or whoever. Shud be a good matchup as always but i feel like this is the best personal skins have had in a time with a developmental QB placed in a favorable environment that shud give them a chance week in nd week out

    You say that, but Dallas' defensive ranking was 17th, while the Redskins defensive ranking was 28th.

    Also, Dallas were the 5th best defense against the pass in 2015, while Redskins were 25th.

    Dallas suffered because of the Romo injury, point blank. With him coming back? My money is on Dallas as long as he stays healthy. Dallas was still a top 10 rushing team last year, but was near the bottom of the league in passing, but that was understandable.

    They have the best defense in the division, have made excellent draft picks, and have the best QB in the division returning too. I think it's a no-brainer.

    Cool. My turn
    Skins were middle of the pact in ppg alllowed.. who was a spot behind.. yup the cowboys
    the additions, or lack therof in the case of the boys, shud be the difference
    Here some more stats for u:
    1) Skins nd boys were bottom 5 in picks
    -skins add norman: :ballotcheck: (advantage skins one would presume)
    -boys add scandrick: :ballotcheck:
    2 )Skins middle of the pack in sacks, boys bottom 5
    -Skins add galette: :ballotcheck: (preston smith is a manchild fyi and serves as insurance policy for dude)
    -Boys add Jaylon Smith nd lose Hardy (lol) those first 4 games gonna be interesting also w/ them suspensions :wellsht:

    These additions should also contribute to interception totals, positively and negatively respectively

    The potential projection for each defense can go a couple different ways... recent draft picks and a couple accusations got me feeling cool w/ where we at

    Well actually, Cowboys allowed 23.4 points per game, while Redskins allowed 23.7 per game in 2015, but same thing, basically.

    Interceptions and turnovers, in general, are a tricky statistic to consider, because it's not something that you can project.

    Denver and Seattle (top 2 defenses of last year) weren't even in the top 15 in interceptions, and the Colts, Philly, Bills, Steelers, Giants, etc were all in the top 15 with interceptions.

    Josh Norman isn't an interception machine either, and he's had one great year, and one solid year, and 2 dead years. He has a total of 7 interceptions in 4 years in the NFL.

    I put Dallas as the front runners, simply because nobody in the NFC East has an elite defense, they're all average or lower, and the Dallas Cowboys have the best O-Line, possibly, in the NFL, and the best QB in the division.

    If Romo is healthy, they'll represent the East in the playoffs.

    Very realistic considering i see boys nd skins fighting it out
    they got the lighter schedule but we all know how fickle that can be
    skins have enough young potential talent to "surprise"... THIS is why im optimistic the stock of legit development players accumulated(key being placed in favorable spots as opposed to recent failures- RG3, laundry,campbell. cud keep going too) last couple of years has me thinking they got a bit of boom potential to the tune of 11 wins , nothing too crazy but considerable improvement
    Got the boys right around there too looking tough for the rest of the division

    I haven't been quite on my team, clown. All the regulars know my team already. The Eagles

    Edit: nothing better than a redskin fan running his mouth and getting his hopes up for nothing.

    haha...based on the recent conversation in here.....you can tell everyone is so bored and eagerly wants the season to start. this is the worst stretch of the off-season, too. draft and free agency are over. nothing really to do but twiddle your fingers until pre-season starts
