bbuzz1962 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Just wanted some of your opinions. With all the new guys in town, how long do you think it will take before this team really molds together. Please be realistic. It always takes some time for a team to jell. I think it will be week 4. Shame on the league after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpass Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 It might take about 3 weeks for us to start clicking just right. but when we do it will be amazing to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I could see us winning games and still not necessarily gelling. Our D is strong and we can just pound it down opponents throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I could see us winning games and still not necessarily gelling.Our D is strong and we can just pound it down opponents throats. i agree, same as last year. I hope that we can start off with a simliar winning streak to give the team some confidence. I think that was a major reason why guys kept believing after losing 6 out of 8.

Phixius Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 We'll win games and improve at the same time just like last season. Started 3-0 but offense score more points every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Critz1407 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I believe that we should gel around week 4. and if our defense can hold out while we are geling then we should be in real good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsHokieFan Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 6-2 start 7-1 finish You will see this team really fire into gear the last 6 weeks of the season, just like we did this past year Joe Gibbs' teams ALWAYS finish strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Kenzo Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Probably by week 4 or five. If we pick up were we left off before the Tampa game...watch out. But if we come into next season the same team that lost to Seattle, we have to worry, but I don't think that we have to worry about that being that our O-line will be back, we have new threats on offense, we have new toys for G. Williams on defense, and we will be rested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty71 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think we will gel in the preseason and by the third week we will get it going strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shsu1 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 6-2 start7-1 finish You will see this team really fire into gear the last 6 weeks of the season, just like we did this past year Joe Gibbs' teams ALWAYS finish strong My thoughts exactly. Given our current roster and schedule, it is not unrealistic to think that we can go 13-3. I think by Week 4, our team will be meshing together quite nicely.

BigRay Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 That's a pretty good question I think they will be alright but I do think the defense is going to be the key until the offense comes around.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattGeorge85 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The team this year has an interesting paradox between new-found talent and what was proven last year. The Skins have more consistency than some of the other teams with returning key players and coaches. Hopefully the FA additons will make the transition through the pre-season games without needing more time. The addition of Saunders new offense may take some time to get used to but that is not necessarily a negative thing. When all members are lining up correctly and running thier routes, the passing game should have enough weapons to improve on last years blue-collar season. Clinton was durable and hungry and I look forward to see what he can do with more open space. But if all else fails just do gut-and-power like they did towards the end. Everything should fall in place at some point. I think we can all agree that the Bears didn't look like a division winner in week one. I'm glad the Skins are in the NFC East because when they triumph the rest of the league can't help but watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimreaper36 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 All of our offensive "producers" from last year are still here, so I don't see any steps backward. I think Saunders will keep things similar enough that it will be a natural evolution of our existing system with adding additional playmakers and plays on top of what allready was working last year. I think it will minimize the amount of gelling needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I hope the preseason is productive in working out the kinks in the offense, while i do not want us to "show our hand" hopefully running alot of different formations and such will get all the players on the same page. ..keep in mind the whole offense is getting a new playbook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimreaper36 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 ..keep in mind the whole offense is getting a new playbook I don't think they are. I think they are getting a modified/extended version of the one they already know. Keep in mind that Saunders and Gibbs come from the same system.

skinshog Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've always hoped for a season to start of with a bang like the 1991 season did. I rememeber as a kid watching them dominate the Lions 45-0, then going on to beat the Cowboys, not to mention the many other memorable games such as against the Falcons at RFK with all the seat cushions being thrown on the field. The most enjoyable season to watch as a Redskins fan. Who knows if we'll ever see another year like that again. Who knows, ... this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I realize that it was with other coaches than our current staff, but in 2001 (Shottenheimer I believe) Saunders had just started off a new RB in the preseason that he got from Baltimore in either the 1st or 2nd preseason game and Priest Holmes made us look rediculous. I think that this is a similar situation to KC in that we already have the O-Line in place and a lot of the terminology is similar (he didn't have that when he arrived in KC). I look for a very fast start and I don't think you have to worry about him showing too much in preseason because he never puts in the same plays twice over a 4 game span, so whatever he does in the preseason he most certainly would not be doing in the opener or first couple of weeks because he is too paranoid about defenses getting a read on him. We have the most creative coordinators and coaching staffs in the game right now (on both sides of the ball). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor 36 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 It depends on how well all the camps go and pre-season. If all goes well there, I could see us being very effective early. But it could take several weeks to get everyone to gell. It is very tough to try and truly predict with this many variables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross3909 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I think we will win games close with Defense early and then start to pile on points with bigger and bigger margins of victory. Prediction: 12-4 NFC East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
