2. The Reality Is, Tress Way is the best player on the Redskins.

As validated by this last week’s Pro Bowl selections, in which he wasn’t the top vote-getter in the NFC, but was named the Pro Bowl starter, Tress Way is the best punter in the NFC, according to his peers and NFL coaches. We all knew that, but it’s nice to have it validated. Every week for the last two seasons, the most impressive thing going on in the Redskins organization has been Tress Way doing his job at a premier level. Take time to appreciate his greatness this week.

My Prediction: He’ll have his worst week of the year because whenever the Redskins have even an inkling of good happenings, there’s a Snyderitis flare-up and it all gets soured.
