Washington Redskins 2006 Season Preview
Overview
The Washington Redskins experienced a solid season in 2005, winning some unexpected games and making it to the playoffs. While their defense exceeded expectations, the offense showed inconsistency. How will the 2006 season unfold? Let's take a closer look at the team’s key units.
Quarterbacks
Starting with the quarterbacks, Mark Brunell leads at age 36. His inconsistency and signs of wear were evident last season. Expect good performances in the first half of the year, but potential decline later. If Brunell falters or gets injured, Todd Collins steps in, though his capabilities are mostly limited to being a suitable backup, placing the Redskins at an average standing in this area.
Running Backs
The running game is a bright spot, thanks to Clinton Portis, who is expected to have a strong season. The team has solid talent at fullback, and the running game could be a highlight for the offense. Manuel White, recovering from a broken leg last year, is set to contribute significantly if he remains healthy.
Receivers
The receiving unit seems average at first glance but holds potential. The acquisition of Antwaan Randle El from the Steelers could add depth and help stretch defenses, especially alongside Santana Moss. However, Randle El's performance is yet uncertain; he could either become a valuable asset or a letdown.
Defense and Special Teams
The defense is anticipated to perform well, with an above-average secondary. Shawn Springs, despite being 31, continues to cover effectively, though health remains a concern. Carlos Rogers has shown promise since being the top pick in the 2005 draft. The rest of the defense seems average, needing to outperform expectations to secure crucial victories.
2006 Prediction
Last season's success might have involved some fortunate breaks, with about five games that could have easily gone the other way. The 2005 team could have ended with a less favorable record. This season, with a tougher schedule and few easy matchups, reaching 8-8 would be an achievement. Playoff hopes may need to wait until 2007, as the Redskins might struggle in the NFC East.
