I'll belive this when McNabb shows up on t.v. personally saying he is not lobbying for T.O.

Re: Did Mcnabb open the door for TO?
 

Well today while at lunch on ESPN (I think) this was one of the topics. I was with a customer so all I got was the headline "McNabb Making A Push For TO". Then they kept showing highlights of McNabb and TO yelling at each other on the side lines.

Re: Did Mcnabb open the door for TO?
 

TO would be a big mistake. He's not good enough anymore to justify the circus he brings along with him. And I would hope that roster sugestions to Allen & Shanny from McNabb or any other player for that matter go in one ear and out the other. The inmates no longer run the asylum here...

Re: Did Mcnabb open the door for TO?
 

If DM is lobbying for TO it dosen't look good for our WR's IMO. I just remember MS saying he was upset with certain players in mini-camp i'm just wondering was WR's apart of that.

Bristol...I'm not actually at Redskins Park :)

Well if McNabb and T.O can do what they did on the field in philly im all for it. But then again if DM did make this request it makes you think he is NOT very impressed with the skins current wr corps.

I've seen this kind of talk alot but, it's not nessesarally true. Bringing T.O. on the field opens up all kinds of great scenarios for our other receivers. A double team on T.O. = open receivers for starters. How do you think Jason Witten got open so often.

On the field T.O. gives it 110% Our receivers would be lucky to have him here and would learn from the best in the game.

As far as MS not being impressed with our current WR's because of his possible interest in T.O. I don't think one has to do with the other at all.

All the ladies wanted to be with him...all the guys wanted to be him.

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.

Argh, ESPN...embedding gets you exposure...

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.
