Offense:
The Redskins entire 2008 season is going to be on the shoulders of Jason Campbell. This is the due or die year for him, but I real like this kid and think he is going to come through for the Redskins. Clinton Portis (when healthy) is one of the best running backs in the league, and that should take the pressure off Campbell. The Redskins drafted some nice WRs, but they will probably take a couple years to develop, but they should be able to get some touched behind Santana Moss, and Antwaan Randle El. The most underrated player on this team is Chris Cooley, and even though the Redskins WRs are sub par, having Cooley should let them take advantage of their play action attack.
Defense:
Even with the death of Taylor, the Redskins still have a very good defensive backfield. Springs is slowing down at age 33, but is still one of the best DBs in the league. Smoot is solid, but Landry is an absolute stud. Now that the Redskins have a pass rusher in Jason Taylor I expect the Redskins to force a lot of turnovers, and with London Fletcher at MLB I really think this is a very strong squad.
Overall:
The Redskins play in a tough division, but I think they will have a better season than the Giants and Eagles. Campbell will be very good if these rookie WRs can contribute, and look for Portis to have another great year. The addition of Taylor I think will be the difference with this team. I expect to see this team in the playoffs in 2008.
Predicted Record: 10-6
