Washington Redskins training camp thus far….

Well how do my (our) skins look.  Are you at training camp with them?  I didn’t realize you were a celebrity thanks for responding to my emails.

A. You so funny. I’m not a celebrity. They just call me RH2.

We do not have press passes; thus, we are not journalists. We are smart about football, though. I am a 50-year fan who has seen it all and recognizes stuff when it rolls around again. It always rolls around again. Waiting for exhibition games before I assess the team. No club reveals anything but drills while sports writers are around. 

Concerns about the 2012 Redskins are well documented.

• Offensive line depth, and a specific concern about right tackle Jammal Brown
• Defensive secondary, especially at safety. It is given that no one on the roster is as good as Sean Taylor, or a healthy LaRon Landry were. But, are they as good as Reed Doughty? Prepare for shootouts.
• Do we have real improvement at wide receiver?
• New concern – will the running back corps be healthy by game one? Or will Shanahan have to find another Ryan Torain, or Keliand Williams to serve for a year? 

However, there is a lot to like about the Shannyskins, even if they finish around .500 this year. Griffin 3^rd is Washington’s best quarterback draftee since Slingin’ Sam. The defensive front seven is fierce. The team has a young nucleus of contributors that will hold together for years. The Redskins have a bright future.
