Redskins Insider - Random Observations at Redskins Park

Random Observations at Redskins Park

A few observations and thoughts after today's first session under the clouds in Ashburn:

The workout was in shorts and shells, which the players appreciate even on an overcast day.

After watching Albert Haynesworth work against guard Derrick Dockery the past two days, I think Haynesworth can play a little.

DeAngelo Hall seems to try to make a play on every ball.

Chris Samuels has slimmed down and is moving well again after surgery.

Mike Williams had another tough time in pass protection.


The Redskins really want Devin Thomas to seize an opportunity and earn that starting flanker spot opposite split end Santana Moss.

Fred Davis seems to be running routes a lot better than he did in practice last season.

Maybe it's just me, but is there anyone on this roster with more pure talent than LaRon Landry?

Brian Orakpo's schedule is about to get a lot busier as he works at strong-side linebacker and end.

The crowds at the complex seem smaller to me than last season, but I don't remember things as well as I once did.

Jason Campbell has room for improvement in some areas, but No. 17 sure throws a nice deep ball.

Casey Rabach is a consummate professional.

Ladell Betts could be a bigger part of the offense than he was last season.

After retiring because of a neck injury, good guy James Thrash accepted a job with the organization and is at camp.

Phillip Daniels still could be a force against the run.

Is Tanner Cooley becoming as big a celebrity in these parts as his pass-catching brother?
