In your opinion does this season look interestingly similar to seasons past for the Washington Redskins?

In watching a few of the preseason games it seems to me that the Redskins actually look like they could be decent. The main issues I see are in the expected areas. The biggest problem is potentially the weapons at receiver. We all know that Mike is going to force the run game down every opponents throat and he will do it by committee so there is no real issue there despite it being one of the most talked about issues so far. Frankly, I have never been a fan of Santana Moss, he is simply one of those players who has the potential to break free but never seems to catch the ball at the right time. And I don't think McNabb is going to change his abilities all that much. Then there is Joey Galloway. Joey has been solid for many years and a good addition but he isn't a game changing receiver, not by a long shot. After these two guys who is there?

Behind Santana there is Anthony Armstrong and Joey is backed up/supported by Bobby Wade. Well if you were thinking who are these guys then we are getting on the same page here. After breaking things down it becomes more and more obvious that Chris Cooley is potentially the Skins primary receiver, a scary thought indeed. Now don't get me wrong Chris is a very reliable and solid option but he too isn't a game changing receiver.

The bottom-line is that if McNabb might find himself in a very similar situation to when he was playing in Philadelphia. That being said, also keep in mind that just because a receiver has a recognizable name it doesn't make him a high quality player.

Thanks for reading.
