Will The Washington Redskins Bounce Back?

By James Lineham

The Washington Redskins suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Detroit Lions in week 3. After spending all this money in the off season, nobody would have predicted this outcome.

They lost to the Detroit Lions in week 3. Either the Detroit Lions were finally do for a win and it just happened to be against the Redskins - or the loss against the Lions showed the lack of focus and determination the Redskins have.

Anymore defeats by inadequate teams and the Redskins fans, front office, and head coach Jim Zorn will see their Redskins be in last place in the NFC East.

The Redskins have an interesting team in the sense that it's considered well rounded. On the other hand, they have the weakest quarterback in the division in Jason Campbell (while he's a good quarterback, he doesn't compare to the likes of Donovan McNabb, Eli Manning, or Tony Romo).

The defensive unit for Washington seemed solid on paper, but hasn't been showing up (I don't count the Rams game). The defenses in New York, Philadelphia, and Dallas are all stronger than that in Washington.

Their receivers (Santana Moss, Chris Cooley, etc.) are good, but not great. Maybe with a better QB, they would look great.

In 08', Campbell did compete 62% of his pass attempts which shows he can be accurate enough, but his leadership qualities are questioned. Jim Zorn should do a better job at helping him develop.

Head Coach Jim Zorn is on the hot seat if he can't create some spark with his offense. The Redskins are a proud franchise with a rich history, if Zorn can't produce for the Redskins fans and ownership by motivating his players he won't last the season. The players must come ready to play and not play the blame game either as well. . - 29967
