I can. They have been in training camp for an entire month, doing 14 hour days and have only had one day off.

Add in the fact that Jerrah split camp between two geographical locations, in different time zones no less just so he could sell a few friggin tee-shirts, jerseys and ball caps.

I did not even watch the game against Houston on Saturday evening, I already knew before kickoff that Dallas would have one thing on thier mind, not the game but the fact that after the game they finally get to go home and sleep in thier own beds.

Thier camp started a week earlier than the rest of the league and just wrapped up on Friday. Then that game on Saturday. All they wanted to do was get out of there injury free and go home that night.

I remember when we played in the HOF game a few years back, we had the same sort of issue. Of course, it didn't get any better, as at the end of the year when we collapsed, one thing everyone talked about was the extra time the HOF game added to our schedule. And then you guys also have a very early bye week. Overall, I think you will struggle more than expected, especially if you have to rely on backups along your line.

I never want to take too much from a preseason game. to add to your point, Houston had a big crowd of rowdy fans for a preseason game. It had the feeling of a regular season game & they responded to their fans.

With or without McNabb I'm very concerned about T. Williams blocking Ware. I see some help coming his way, which creates other one on one pass rushing opps. Dallas should be pretty tough in that area.

If I was a dallas fan I would be a little concerned about the way Romo answered questions during the game on the sideline. He sounded very unsure of himself & he is usually pretty quick witted w/reporters, especially in such a meaningless game. I got the sense that things weren't great w/them, but it might just be a reflection of 1 bad night. The romo & felix jones talks didn't look good either, might be some friction there.

I will really be worried if Rex is our starter. I noticed friday night that it seems he can put the ball on the money in the middle of the field. But rush him or make him go to the sidelines & he puts it in traffic a lot. His accuracy was like night and day when comparing the middle of the field to the sidelines.

Translation - McNabb still can't figure out the offense. I don't want to embarass our prize acquisition on national TV against our hated rivals. When he catches up he'll be back on the field.

There seems to be several issues surrounding McNabb that has captured the attention of many Redskin fans. I wouldn't necessarily characterize them as worry as much as I would concern.

It has been reported he's been slow in picking up the offense, something that should not be a problem for a QB deemed "franchise", looking for an extention and paid accordingly. There are those who have made light of his latest injury, optomism begs us to believe he'll be ready to go on Sept.12th against Dallas. On the other hand, there are those who continue to look at his body of injury, seventeen games missed in the last five years due to some form of injury.

At soon to be 34 yrs. of age, is injury a concern that's going to constantly be on the horizon? If so, should a longer look be given to a 3-4 yr. extention and at what cost? Given the compensation surrendered for his services, what exactly do/should we expect him to accomplish in a Redskin uniform that would enable the end to justify the means? Or, will injury continue to be a source of derailment, diminishing his ability to be effective for any extended period of time? These, and other questions IMO need to be both considered and answered before any final decision is made on securing his services longtime.

Elway was older when Shanny took him to the top and Steve Young was about the same age when he was winning big. The age in and of itself isnt that big a deal. I do think that he does have a history of injuries that could become more problematic as he gets older. I have mixed feelings on an extension because he is older with a history of injuries and they could be extending a player that wont play much. On the other hand I dont see that the Skins have any other viable options at QB and DM is a great leader that has set a new tone at Redskins Park. IMO, its a tough call when it comes to extending DM.
