Aw man, you gotta love Saturday mornin hangovers.

So this is my first posting - I don't know much about caps, but I follow the skins religiously and I think in general it's good that we DC fans have a place where we can rant some (skins) and rave some (caps).

Due to my current state, imma keep this short and sweet. I don't understand how the skins are playing so poorly. Because this is essentially the same team from last year. On offense, we lost Jansen and Kendall - neither are huge losses - and then we picked up Dock again. On d, we lost Springs (who is a shutdown corner) but picked up Haynesworth, who is a monster, and Orakpo, who is going to be good. With one more year in the Zorn system, and these nice new additions, everyone should be doing better, right?

But as it's looking right now, we're probably going to end up with a record worse than what we had last year. On d it sounds like the main problem is discipline - people are not following their assignments and messing up fundamentals like tackling. On offense, same stuff as always - i.e. no offense. Campbell seems to be running better, and I believe in him, but he's got zero talent around him. He doesn't have a real o-line (especially now that Thomas is gone). Portis is injured and it's only week 4. His 2nd year WRs are not getting it done. Basically we lose unless our defense puts points on the board for us (which is not the typical offensive strategy).

To end on a semi-positive note, at least our punter is good and will get plenty of practice :)
