Alex (Princeton, NJ): It may be too early to tell, but do you see the Beast being as strong this coming season as it was last season, relative to other divisions?
SportsNation Matt Mosley: It's hard to say because things change so much. We thought the Beast was stacked last season and then everyone sort of hit a lull at some point. The Eagles obviously made a nice run -- and I think the Giants have reloaded on defense. So with Haynesworth in Washington and the Cowboys perhaps focusing more on the ground game, sure, I think the Beast could be better. And as of today, I certainly have it as the best division in the NFC.
Justin (Denton,Tx): how much would Dan Snyder love an uncapped 2010?
Kevin (Austin TX): Matt, am I the only one who thinks Jason Campbell is a very good QB? I dont even like the Skins but he seems to have it all, but just cant get his organization to keep things consistant. With this being the first time in his career running the same offense twice in a row, do you think he will shut his critics up for a while?
SportsNation Matt Mosley: Kevin, there's no bigger Campbell apologist than me, but the guy has to have a productive season. Does he have to throw for 4,500 yards? No, but he needs to continue to limit his mistakes and not take as many sacks. Campbell fell victim to the offensive line wearing down in the second half of the season. Ther running game dried up and that made Campbell less effective. And it's not like he's throwing to big targets. Other than Cooley, he really doesn't have someone he can count on for a string of good performances at receiver. Santana Moss is a gamebreaker, but the club desperately needs either Thomas or Kelly to show up this season. But I'm certainly rooting for Campbell to find it this season.
Tim (california): If you had to pick the best NFC division, which would it be? NFC South, NFC Least? Not the West for sure.
SportsNation Matt Mosley: I still think the Beast is the best division top to bottom. And despite the fact the Cards made it to the Super Bowl, I still think the NFC West is the worst division -- until someone proves otherwise. Seahawks, Niners and Rams were all bad last season. Why wouldn't that be the worst division?
Justin (Denton,Tx): chances mike shanahan ends up in the beast in 2010?
SportsNation Matt Mosley: Cows and Redskins both possibilities
M (DC): If Crabtree falls to No. 13, should Redskins pull the trigger? Also, how does the Cutler trade affect their draft plans and who would be available at 13?
SportsNation Matt Mosley: If he's the best player on your board, sure.
Matt (DC): What kind of deal do you think the Redskins could get if they wanted to trade down and Mark Sanchez was still available?
SportsNation Matt Mosley: Redskins just don't have enough ammunition in this draft to do much. They could give up a No. 1 in '2010 I suppose -- if they're in love with Sanchez. But I think something like that would be contingent on getting a second-rounder for Jason Campbell. I don't think the 'Skins found any takers.
