The Redskins pay their players just like...
the Cowboys.
Down here in Big D, all the talk radio shows were speaking about how this would be an easy win for the Cowboys. Just because Schramm cointed the term "America's Team", nothing is given to them and they are not entitled to winning every game.
I like the Cowboys like many but they are not my favorite team. That distinction will always go to the Tavarius-less Vikings (thank God!).
But many in the media has been over looking Jason Campbell like he's nothing. Campbell reminds me of Randall Cunningham in that he's had 4 different coaches while in the NFL and has yet to settle in on a long-term head coach. That impedes a player's progress.
I've always loved Jason Campbell and thought that Washington got a steal when they got him late in the 1st Round. I watched Campbell for 4 years at Auburn where he started off as a "horrible" freshman QB and then blossom into a national championship winning QB. The talent is there and it is special. Washington just needs to be patient and let him sling it around. Truthfully, he may be the best QB in the NFC East. With a little seasoning, he's hinged on greatness. I love his demeanor. If they can just get C. Portis to run the ball and shut his trap, they should make the playoffs.
I think the odd man out this year in the NFC East is the G-Men. I am not a fan of anyone named "Manning" other than Archie. I think Eli got a reprieve last year but that NFC East will be a monster and I just think, with Philly and McNabb and the Redskins playing well, the G-Men will fall from grace.
But those Redskins played tough and looked good doing it.
