Preseason told us nothing 

Post#1 » by Scabs304 » Fri Aug 29, 2008 3:23 pm

Am I the only one that believes this preseason told us nothing what are team is going to be like? It might be optimism, but I believe nothing was shown of the offense or defense and that it will be a totally different team that we see.
I am Scabs.

I think there are some indicators that are worrisome.

Campbell is iffy.

The O Line struggled badly.

The defense has a new voice, but will they be able to stop anybody?

True, the Xseason is meaningless, but a new HC, DC, could spell trouble under the best of circumstances, especially if Campbell keeps beating the Skins.

Agree...if I can add to your list - INJURIES

This squad is berift with the injury bug, year after year, after friggin' year. Why doesn't the Dany throw his money at a good FA trainer???

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Yeah, the Skins have had more than their share the lately, but is it the Snyder curse?

I told many on the day he bought the team that he'd NEVER win a championship. I'd like to remove the curse.........

We may have to dig up Dave Butz's uniform from RFK stadium to exorcise this curse!
