The Redskins wrapped up the public portion of training camp Saturday with the team's intrasquad scrimmage. What happened on the field wasn't nearly as notable as who didn't line up:
Were you excited to see free agent signee Albert Haynesworth in a game situation for the first time? No dice.
Did you want to see offensive weapons Clinton Portis, Santana Moss and Chris Cooley? Wait 'til the preseason--or if Portis has his way, September.
How about last year's second round draft pick wide receivers? Malcolm Kelly and and Devin Thomas were both watching instead of catching...
How about the most famous thigh in Northern Virginia? Sorry, Carlos Rogers remains on the sidelines... and one wonders when he will get back on the field and up to speed.
Meanwhile, the offensive line situation gets a little more precarious--the slimmed down Mike Williams and Stephon Heyer both sat out Saturday's extravaganza...while lineman Jeremy Bridges left the field with an apparent ankle injury--he's currently day-to-day.
Now the team prepares for its first preseason game against Baltimore. It'll be interesting to see how far along both units actually are-- sometimes an offense or a defense shines or has problems during camp because of familiarity with the other unit. Although it won't be first stringers for 60 minutes...at least it'll be something.
