Zac Snyder: What is your take on the Washington Redskins so far this season?

Ryan Estorninos: Better than expected. They haven’t earned much in regards to style points, but have found ways to win. The offense needs some work, a lot in fact. McNabb could be more accurate. The defense could give up fewer yards, but the intangible for winning is never to be discredited. I’d rather have a 4-3 team winning squeakers than a 1-5 team scoring tons of points.

ZS: Who is your offensive and defensive MVP so far?

RE: Offensive MVP would have to be Santana Moss. He is top receiver this year based on his stats and he continued to be the go-to guy for Donovan McNabb.

The defensive MVP would be Laron Landry. He has significantly improved his game and has been effected in his natural position at strong safety.

ZS: What has it been like for Redskins fans to cheer on Donovan McNabb after so many years in Philadelphia? Any chance he becomes a scapegoat if the Redskins don’t make the playoffs?

RE: McNabb has generally been accepted and has been embraced by the city and the fans. He is the most accomplished quarterback they have had probably since Joe Theismann, and that was a long time ago. He has definitely been great for the team and city.

As for his play so far….considering the Redskins were not expected to be able to compete he should not be a scapegoat. However, with the way the media and some fans are approaching his quality of play – he might be.

I still think he needs time to progress in a new system, but I would be foolish to say I didn’t expect him to play better. I tend to think I am on the majority on this one. (more…)
