Sometimes, to get the most complete picture, you need to give your rivals some credit.

We can sit here in a bubble all day and gawk at impressive training camp performances from Washington Redskins players, but if we don’t understand and acknowledge what they’re up against, then we could be in for a rude awakening when the regular season hits.

So today, the bubble pops. The Redskins have a solid roster. If everything goes right, they could wind up being as good as 11-5. But to simply assume everything will go right, especially in the inclement NFC East, is a dangerous game to play.
