Two seasons ago the washington Redskins had one of the best young quarterbacks in the league and a division title.  Its crazy how one injury can turn a team coming off a 10 win season and a world of upside, back into the laughing stalk of the NFL.  After a couple years of heading in the right direction with limited drama “The days of our lives saga” came back to town with all the he say she say between coaches and players last season.  

One of the biggest issues last year was the team's defense that couldn’t seem to stop anyone.  With so many broken tackles, big plays, and easy touchdowns for the opponent there was no way the Redskins would be successful.  The offense weren’t the greatest either and struggled to move the ball at times.  The first couple questions come from when looking at this Redskins offense.  

The first one that comes to mind is which Robert Griffin III will show up to play this season?  Will it be the healthy Griffin that one the Rookie of the year and lead his team to the top of the NFC East.  Or the Griffin that many deemed RG2.5, the player that limped his way through the last three games of his rookie season and his sophomore year.  Many are saying he’s looking good in camp, but then again how many times do you hear people say the franchise quarterback is struggling in practice.  

Question two surrounding this offense is will they be able to come together and keep everyone happy?  The offense isn’t built around three players anymore, with the additions of DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts with Jordan Reed stepping into the starting role.  The concern is that there won’t be enough balls to go around to all these targets.  It’s already looking as though Roberts is unhappy after the team promised him the number two position, and then turned around and signed Jackson to come in as the number two.  With Roberts already expressing that he isn’t happy about the situation, one must think how far behind him is Jackson, and even Pierre Garcon.  Can all of these pass catchers get their touches with Morris carrying the ball 15 to 20 times a game?  It’s not looking too good as of now.  

Question numero tres, some would argue that the biggest concern on this team is the defense and the secondary, I will respectfully disagree.  With the front office bringing in a couple veterans like Ryan Clark and Tracy Porter the team now has a wealth of leadership to match their young talent in the secondary.  Guys like Phillip Thomas, David Amerson, Bashaud Breeland, and Richard Crawford.  They aren’t the Seattle Seahawks but they aren’t too shabby this year in the secondary.  The biggest concern on defense will be the tackling ability of the front seven.  Last season the team gave up a lot of big plays and struggled to tackle ball carriers.  Football is a complicated game and I’m not a master but I’m almost positive, that if you don’t tackle the ball carrier then he will eventually score and score often.

Finally the most important question for these Washington Redskins will be the horrendous special teams from a year ago.  Can the special teams unit help the offense and defense and win some field position battles?  Last year the punt and kick units couldn’t tackle to save a life.  I am totally convinced that every opponents return man woke up sunday morning and ran to the stadium, like a five year old running downstairs on christmas morning.  The special teams was so bad last season that it was a large part of them being one of the worst teams in the league.  Even though the NFL has become so flashy with all the fast paced offenses, it still remains a game of inches, a field position driven game.  If you're giving up 20+ yards in returns and doing nothing with your return chances you will lose the field position battle and most likely the game.
