Analysis: What an overhaul! That is the only way to describe the Redskins offseason. After a disappointing season that included losses to the Bucs and the Lions, the front office knew it needed to change everything. That they did. The biggest is probably the signing of Donovan McNabb from the rival Eagles. I said with when talking about the Eagles that it was a good move. That’s not to say that McNabb is declining, but the Eagles and him had tough times and it was time for both to move on. Lucky for the Redskins, they got McNabb. With a receiving squad that includes Santana Moss and Malcolm Kelly joined by Austin, Galloway, Furrrey and Wade, McNabb will have targets to throw to. Clinton Portis is still an elite back, but he gets injured time to time. Again, the Redskins stepped up and picked up fellow injury prone backs Johnson and Parker. Parker can run the ball, if he stays healthy. The three should provide a good running attack. With a first round pick of Williams and the signings of Brown and Hicks, the line gets better too. Albert Haynesworth along with another free agent singing in Holliday should keep the line good with Kedric Golston. London Fletcher and Brian Orakpo provide good players at the linebacker position. Buchanon joins Reed Doughty, LaRon Landry and DeAngelo Hall. This team got a lot better. If they can put it all together, the NFC East could easily send three teams to the playoffs.
2010 Season Predictions: 10-6, NFC Wildcard
