Washington Redskins 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: With a new front office and coaching staff, a new quarterback and new schemes on both sides of the ball, the Redskins will not resemble last year’s group at all. The Redskins are clearly the most improved team in the NFC East but have so much ground to make up. The Redskins will be looking to improve on a 4-12 record from a year ago. They went 0-6 within the division so they will have a lot to prove in 2010.

The Washington Redskins' 2011 Super Bowl Betting Odds have the Redskins at +2500 to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

NFL Predictions Offense: Six-time Pro Bowler Donovan McNabb, acquired in a trade with Philadelphia, replaces Jason Campbell. Clinton Portis will be 29 by Week 1, is coming off a season that was cut short by a concussion and has shown marks of decline in his speed and cutting ability. Yet he’s excited to be reunited with Shanahan, for whom he had 29 touchdowns and 3,099 yards over his first two years in the league in Denver. The team acquired former Pro Bowlers Larry Johnson from Cincinnati, and Willie Parker, who lost his job in Pittsburgh to Rashard Mendenhall. The Redskins are counting on their scheme and new quarterback to take better advantage of the receivers than the previous staff was able to do. Santana Moss will be 31 by Week 1 and is still a productive receiver. The two-tight end offense will be a staple of the passing attack, and Washington has a pair of good receiving tight ends. When Chris Cooley suffered a season-ending injury in Week 7, Fred Davis replaced him and finished the year as the team’s third-leading pass-catcher with twice as many touchdowns (six) as anyone else. The Washington Redskins 2010 NFC East Odds to win the division are at +500.

NFL Predictions Defense: The Redskins' defense is expected to rely heavily on a 3-4 scheme, and coaches will experiment with a variety of combinations on the line to find the right fit. The first question is if Albert Haynesworth fits into the equation. Haynesworth has played in a 4-3 his entire career and does not envision himself as a space-eating nosetackle. Some of the biggest offseason work involves the linebackers, who will be learning new assignments in the 3-4. London Fletcher, coming off his first Pro Bowl season, and fifth-year veteran Rocky McIntosh will likely anchor the inside positions. Though the Redskins were among the league’s top-10 teams in pass defense a year ago, they tied for 26th in interceptions (11) and were 28th in turnover differential (minus-11). Their focus will be to improve those numbers drastically. Their top cornerback, DeAngelo Hall, is a gambler who had four interceptions a year ago but also showed spotty tackling ability. On the other side, Carlos Rogers started 15 games in ’09 and failed to notch a single interception. The Washington Redskins Win Total is at 7.5 with the under at -120.

Head Coach\Special Teams: The team’s biggest offseason upgrade came at the head coaching position, where Mike Shanahan replaces Jim Zorn after the latter had two forgettable seasons in Washington. His first hire was his son, Kyle Shanahan, who spent the previous two seasons as Houston’s offensive coordinator. The special teams carry a degree of uncertainty. Kicker Graham Gano has only four NFL games under his belt, and the Redskins could start looking for a veteran if he doesn't win the job during camp. Josh Bidwell will handle punting duties, but he’s five years removed from his lone Pro Bowl appearance. The team also parted ways with its primary kickoff returner (Rock Cartwright) and punt returner (Antwaan Randle El). The Redskins drafted receiver Terrence Austin, who has experience with both punt and kickoff returns, and will likely give cornerback Phillip Buchanon a shot at returning punts.
