3) We know Pierre Garcon will start, but how will the rest of the WR roles shake out? Santana Moss isn’t going anywhere, and I expect him to start opposite Garcon.  But we already know plenty about Tana by now.  The real competition will be between Leonard Hankerson and Josh Morgan.  In 3 WR sets, Moss will likely move inside to the slot, with either Hankerson or Morgan lining up outside, but I suspect we’ll see the Redskins show a wide assortment of looks.

George Allen was a visionary.  After becoming Redskins coach in 1971, he called for a state-of-the-art training complex, something bold and futuristic in nature.  Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on June 2, 1971, and the complex – known as Redskin Park – stood as the most advanced practice facility in the NFL, by the time it opened in Chantilly, VA, before the `71 season.   It featured grass and artificial turf practice fields, and a building with every amenity a football team would want.  Allen thought the innovation would vastly improve the Redskins’ chances of winning.  Sure enough, they reached the post-season for the first time in a quarter-century in 1971 and appeared in their first Super Bowl the next year.

Niles Paul stood out in today’s practice, catching two deep balls while being matched up against  a safety and a linebacker.
