Well here comes another season for a franchise that was once a power and has now been reduced to the regular champ of the offseason without translating that success to a better real season. Not that owner Daniel Synder hasn't put the money into the team that was needed but has mostly spent it on other people's best player who never seems to pan out. The Redskins have crippled their team throughout the past decade by trading away draft picks for older or big-name players that never seem to make an impact on this team excluding of course London Fletcher.
THE OFFSEASON
The big headline this offseason was the addition of Albert Haynesworth is there going to be any difference? Maybe this year the investment will pan out after all. Haynesworth is an absolute monster of a player and should help the pass-rush-less Redskins Defense get back on track and with the double and triple teams that he will face all season should free up A. Carter and, most impressively, Brian Orakpo. Of the offseason moves that the team made, none looks to be as sure of a bet as this guy. He has a non-stop motor and speed that should make him into one of the best pass-rushing defensive end/linebacker in the league. Orakpo has the potential to become our DeMarcus Ware (I hate using a Cowboy as a reference but this guy is in his own league) and create havoc for the entire NFC East.
