The creaky old bus started off slow, but once its engine warmed up The Washington Redskins were clicking on all cylinders.  Yeah, it was preseason, but make no mistake:  This is not Jim Zorn’s team from the last two seasons.

The Offense looked like it knew the gameplan and played with a purpose rather than kinda milling about and being unsure of what the plays being called into the huddle were.  The Defense took a bit to adjust to game speed in the new 3-4 scheme, but once they got that first series over with (giving up a field goal), they were stout and started to look more and more like they were ‘getting it’.  We now have a Punt Returner.  We now have a Quarterback.  Portis was playing like he cared again.  Trent ‘Silverback’ Williams showed why they took him over Okung.  Again, last night’s 42-17 victory doesn’t mean that Lombardy Trophy #4 is already on its way, but you got the feeling that we’re a lot closer than we’ve been in a long time.

I am PUMPED for the next podcast! Hail!
