I copied this from Redskins.com Extreme fans forum. This is encouraging I think:


i made my annual trip to training camp, here are a few observations from the 50 yard line (for those interested...)

coach gibbs: i didnt see him do much coaching, i am not saying that he was not coaching, he was more of an "overseer". after practice he signed plenty of autographs and gave me a religious pamphlet. i told him, "thanks for coming back", and i meant it. greatest coach i'll ever see.

coach saunders: i went into today's practice not impressed with this guy at all, for my own reasons. i left today VERY impressed with him. this guy builds his players up. after every play he was coaching up individual players. i was very esp. curious to see his interaction with jason campbell and he seemed to be very positive and supportive. i like what i saw out of his coaching style, and the team ran some pretty nice plays. thumbs up for coach saunders.

mark brunell: dude looks like he is hurt. he was gimpy. he didnt get as many snaps as campbell, but i am sure that is because he doesnt need as many. i want him to start and i want him to do well, but i have to call it like i see it and it seems that he has a leg problem.

jason campbell: looked good. simple as that. not great, but he looked good. he looked like the teams qb, not a scrub at all. i am not saying that he is ready to be our main guy, but damn, he just looked good out there. good presence...you know the book on him.

david patten: my pleasant surprise. good receiver, runs good, fluid routes. a definite pro receiver. my uncle went into today thinking he wouldnt make the team...we both feel that he will.

moss, lloyd and randle-el: all looked polished and ready to go.

carlos rogers: looking damned good and healthy. i am calling it right now...big year for him.

sean taylor: routine sean taylor...
i did see a blitz package for him...it was nice. i'll be looking for it in the season.

marcus washington: looked great

well, i am not going to name every player so i will summarize by saying that in all honesty...we have a powerful team. we looked sharp in all phases of the game, special teams, lead by sellers, defense looked good and the offense is going to put up points. what i saw today was a very cohesive group of well coached players.

this is a superbowl caliber team.

oh well, just wanted to share a few of my observations. if you have any questions, feel free to ask. i may add a few pics tomorrow if i get the time to shrink them.
