The Washington Redskins 2000James T KendallBeing a long time Washington Redskin fan I remember George Allan's over the hill gang, the heady Joe Gibb's era, and the periods in between and after which are well worth forgetting.This year will be interesting as new owner Daniel Synder has given Norv Turner a virtual all star team to coach this season. Even if Bruce Smith and Deion only have one have one good season left, they should help tremendously this year. If hey can sign Lavar Arrington he should pay dividends right away as well. Add this much-improved defense to the second rated offense last year and the skins should do better than last year's divisional playoff team. Champ Bailey looked great last year the majority of the time, so you would think that Deion plays the other corner and 40 year old Darrell Green play the nickel- not a bad trio of defenders. Jeff George is onboard to back up Brad Johnson, I hope this doesn't hurt team chemistry (if there even is anyway, this is the team where the starting wide out beat up the starting half back not too long ago!). All and all much improved, but this in and of itself is meaningless.
This is Norv's contract year and I believe that if he doesn't make it to the NFC Championship game he will and should be fired. He's been mediocre at best throughout his stay in Washington and that is not going to be enough for the Fans or Mr. Synder.
