Did Mcnabb open the door for TO?

Seriously though, good guy. Really polite and outgoing. I didn't get to meet him myself but heard he was great....and all the ladies wanted to be with him.

Ha ha, I saw him randomly on First Take today and I remember the first thought that popped into my mind was something along the lines of "well theres a guy that doesn't have any problems with the opposite sex."

Anyways, I can't agree with some of what was said in that video. Our WR position is not "dire" and "desperate". Moss and Thomas are solid and should be used very well in Shanahan's offense. Kelly and Mitchell have upside and are serviceable #3 and #4 WRs in an offense that also has two of the better receiving TEs in the league and a running game that McNabb didn't have in Philly. If we were talking about this WR corp with McNabb on the Eagles, sure it would need upgrading because they had no running game and TE was usually a revolving door. McNabb has plenty to work with right now.

Concerning bringing in Porter, Hagans, Williams...we always invite a ton of WRs and sign them...every year, just to get competition in camp. We had well over 100 players last year if I remember correctly. Also, it's probably not different than what other teams do, bring in a ton of players to work out that won't likely make the team. Signing some scrub WRs right now says nothing about our "desperation" or anything about our current WR corps...it's just how things are done.

Yes Owens could be an asset to the team but if we needed him so desperately, we would have already signed him. We'll be fine without him. In fact, Kelly and Mitchell would probably be better off without another WR in front of them on the depth chart. We need to develop them and see what they can do, especially Kelly. If he's traded and Owens is added, so be it. We'll be fine at WR either way I believe. Our big problem in the passing game will be involving both Cooley and Davis to utilize their talents enough.

Nice post Buster, it's fair and makes good sense. I agree at all points. Except: "but if we needed him so desperately, we would have already signed him".

uugghh

T.O. can wear his #81 too, as the Snyder circus shits all over the soul of our beloved Washington Redskins! I can take shitty, disappointing season after shitty, disappointing season...it's part of being a fan. If we sign T.O., on the other hand, I don't know if I can be a part of this joke any longer.

if thats how you feel about it, thanks for coming out. dont let the door hit you in the ass.

For what it's worth Shanny said on ESPN2 we arent looking in that direction even if he understands why Donovan or TO might want to be reunited.

Thanks for offering to show me the way out of here, johno! I'm only jumping ship if T.O. signs though. Okay?

We could have had TO at the recent minicamp, when we hosted 3 other WR's. We didn't. I think Shanny is telling the truth on this one.

Looks like McNabb closed the door. Smart idea.

I'm not buying that. The only plausible argument that our receivers aren't as bad as people think is the quarterback dilemma. Maybe now we have a QB that can find the open guys or hit them in tight spaces.

Otherwise, the wide receivers we've seen in Redskin uniforms have been just about like the rest of the team -- mediocre. I would hardly call Devin Thomas "solid". We just don't know that yet. We've seen flashes. Brief, rare, inconsistent flashes. That's it. Even less so with Malcolm Kelly and Marko Mitchell. Only in the most wildly optimistic scenario can they be defined as "serviceable."

Santana Moss? He was really good five years ago. But fans seem to think he's exactly the same today as he was in 2005. Uh-huh. I haven't seen it.

I'd put the receiver situation second only to the offensive line in terms of what needs to be seriously scrutinized.
