ESPN.com: NFL - Redskins: Second time around

The analysis by ESPN comes across as skeptical. It's still early in the season but I would change the grades thusly:

QB : C+ to B- (Ramsey will make mistakes but he's much better than an average QB.)

RB : C to B- (ESPN evidently didn't see the power Betts runs with but it's understandable that they underrate the position.)

WR : B to B

OL : B to B (They're a strong group but they didn't look as stellar against the likes of John Abraham.)

DL : D to C (So far so good with the no-name DTs.)

LB : B+ to A- (Arrington and Trotter looked great but this grade could go back down if they both start freelancing too much and get victimized.)

DB : B to B (Bailey is impeccable. Smoot is good but still makes mistakes. Bowen brings a strong physical presence. Ohalete still needs to be battle-tested.)

ST : C to B- (Hall looked great. Barker looks average and Morton is capable with the occasional home-run threat.)

Coaching : Not graded by ESPN. I give it a B so far. Edwards made the right defensive calls and gave his guys some freedom. Spurrier didn't let his ego get in the way to pound the ball in the second half. The concern, though, is that he wasn't able to counter the Jets' defensive adjustments with effective mix-it-up playcalling after the half.
