Thoughts on a disappointing season ~
~
What started as a season of hope, playoffs, redemption for the past decade of sub-mediocrity, ended in a very familiar way . . . watching other teams in the playoffs.
I can't quite figure out where our defense was this year. We added players that were not only supposed to make up for what we lost, but be better than that - - well, they weren't. Frankly, I would have rather stayed with the lesser known names that produced, but hey, that's just me. The high-powered offense that was supposed to light up Fed Ex Field with Saunders, Moss, Randle El, Lloyd, Portis and Cooley looked all too much like the Redskins offense of two years ago, when we couldn't even attempt a pass of more than 10 yards. It did look brilliant at times, just not enough times.
There were some positives, though - - Ladell Betts' rushing performance since taking over for Clinton, Jason Campbell giving us hope at the QB position - - I mean he's no "Romo - sexual" (joke), but he has looked very solid at times. We had a punt and a kickoff returned for a TD in the same season - when was the last time that happened? What about Shaun Suisham?? Do we finally have a solid reliable kicker? Let us not forget . . . with 00:00 on the clock, from 47 yards . . . it's up . . . and . . . IT'S GOOD!!!!! Nick Novak and the Redskins have beaten the Dallas Cowboys in dramatic fashion for the second straight year!!!!! You know, it still makes me smile!!!
There is still hope for next year. I truly feel that with more time to learn the Big Al's playbook, give Campbell time to grow and mature more, give Williams time to figure out and fix what went wrong, we have the talent and the potential to be a contender. Now, we just have to hope Joe can figure a way to do it!
