A new regime could make things better quickly or take time.
Sean McVay’s LA Rams got better immediately after taking over for Jeff Fisher.
Both teams do have certain similarities in that they had some top notch talent that was not being utilized properly, and they were not playing to their strengths.
I think we can say for certain that our defense is going to be better. They’ll be coached better, be in better positions to make plays, have better competition at just about every position, and have better schemes/gameplans.
That alone should make the games more competitive.
The offensive coaches might be better, or they might not. I dont know enough about Scott Turner to know if he’s a good o-coordinator. His father is.
The redskins do have more options on offense, which helps. They also are going to have competition for pretty much every spot, including last year’s positions of relative “strength:” wr and rb.
They have more depth along the oline, and a new training staff that absolutely has to be better than who they had.
What we dont know is if the offense will coalesce in the same way we pretty much know that the defense will.
On the other hand, the redskins were leading the eagles and giants games late in the fourth quarter last year as haskins was behind a injury ravaged line, in a new offensive system, in his first year in the league, with more limited weapons on offense.
I still predict right around 6 wins, but I bet they’re “in” 3 more until the end, and I doubt they get blown out at all this year.
That’s an improvement.
