But first, a song...tap, tap, tap...

I mean...
...look at this:
THAT is a schedule!!!
We've got a murderers row first three games, we play the Baltimore Blackbirds, da Bears, The pack, 9'ers, Steelers, Vikes.
I mean the Lions and Browns are the only 'breathers' and we all know how that works in the upset world of the NFL.
We got sixteen weeks of what will have to be consistently excellent football against pretty much all top teams.
Remember the week after week nail biters under Norv? And we'd pretty much always lose by a play or a filed goal? Remember the Gibbs era? Every week a nail biter and...we'd win by a play or a field goal.
No Cardinals. The Bengals are on the rise.
WOW.

Football season!
I've quit looking at the redskins site and and news articles about the team. Just kept getting goose bumps everytime. Can't wait for the season to start.
As for Taylor, I had the (unfortunate) opportunity to watch him on the other side of the ball from my Hokies. It has been a long time since I've seen someone that athletic in that position. I didn't see anything in his college days that would make me think his mental game isn't at the same level as his physical game. If he can stay healthy, he will be a beast.

You know what...
...that's a damn good question.
He's acting like a kid in a candy store with this contract/agent stuff but he DID sign and he IS in camp. Hell, Lavarr isn't happy with his millions and I have ZERO doubt as to how he will play this coming year.
I haven't read anything negative yet on how the kid is dealing with coaching and getting up to speed, so, that's good.
I was totally annoyed with Patrick when he held out his rookie year but he's a ball player.
Guess we'll wait and see? Kids from Miami tend to really care about winning when all is said and done.
(We could have picked Winslow!)

Nothing to see here
Not even worried bout his on the field play, I agree he's a beast playing that position with his size/speed. Its his off the field stuff that is bugging me, (1)he gets drafted, (2)fires his agent, (3)waits til 10 days ago to get a new agent, (4) signs last week, (5) fires his agent yesterday and thinks his contract is unfair. He seems to exhibit all the trappings of a malcontent and cancer already.

The fact that teams...
...do not stay together very long and you can add a Portis or Coles fairly easily makes me worry less about team chemistry.
Gibbs is noted for that long term Redskin chemistry yes and that's probably why we, as Skin fans, worry about team so much but Gibbs DID build THE Redskins pretty quickly those first two years with a bunch of un-knowns.
So, when Gibbs can, with free agency and the draft, get who he wants, lookout!
On the other hand, Bethard was the draft guy and any number of top Gibbs picks flopped.
####. There goes my mood!

Pay attention!
What we are all frothing about is the reports about WHAT Gibbs and his boys are doing, not simply the fact they are back.
He promised no more 100 hour work weeks. Well, it seems what he meant was they'd work 110 hours. They are all just so IN TO it, just like the days of old. The players are fired up and they KNOW. ATTENTION to DETAIL.
Now, the reasons why expectations are so high, and I'll be honest, I realisticly expect a Super Bowl WIN, are these:
When you go over the average NFL game you can typically break the game down into 5 plays that make the difference between winning and losing.
I did a review of the Skins last year under Spurrier in this forum and boiled it down to something like two plays PER game going our way instead of what happened and the Skins would have made the playoffs.
As bad as the Skins were, record wise, they, like just about all NFL teams, are loaded with great players who CAN win backed by pretty much every teams owner that really wants to do what it takes to win.
It makes for a razer thin margin. One team makes three more plays, one on special teams, one on defense, one on offense, they can win by 21 points in what was otherwise a very close game. The casual fan sees a blow out. The trained eye sees a good team that needs a bit better coaching.
That's what all the hard work Gibbs brings does: Get's you a play here and/or there. That's what he did with very late round draft picks in the old days and he won three Super Bowls with three different, non-super hero quarterbacks. That makes him one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.
Spurrier knew what he was doing. Just not quite well enough. Marvin Lewis turned around the Bengals in ONE year.
I can, and will, go on forever but, Gibbs and his staff KNOW what to do, have done it before and can still do it now. They don't leave at 5 and go home to dinner. They sit in the office after everyone else is gone and tell stories and work on subtle stuff until 1 am. They are having the time of their lives...all over again. They simply LOVE coaching.
As I said before, if you remember the Norv Turner era, we were in just about every game and there was always a play or two that would do us in.
Joe Gibbs and staff will get the team ready to make a handful of extra plays per week. The O line will 'suddenly' be a bunch of Hog-esque monsters. People Like LaVarr and Coles and Portis will have career years. Special teams and D will be the glue that saves our bacon at the right moment.
The 'few plays' is an incredibly hard thing to come up with in the NFL and every team is trying to do the same thing.
Watch.

It's to bad for Carter...
...because Tuna put a huge amount on the kid last year. Guess he couldn't cut it. Shame.
As for us, Vinny will not lose them any games and that makes the playoffs.
Of course, we are gonna KICK THEIR GRAVY SUCKING FACES IN twice this year.
Ideally, three times; Once in the playoffs! THAT is what is best in life.
Hail, to the Redskins! Hail, VIC-TOR-EEEEEEEEE.........
