Moss in Oakland
Are you kidding me? Mike Tice, who appeared to be a pretty good fit to keep Moss under control, couldn't do it. The only coach in the league who can probably do it is Parcells but thank goodness for the Redskins Moss didn't go to the Cowboys. Instead, Randy Moss is now Norv Turner's problem.
This is the same Norv Turner that couldn't handle Michael Westbrook. Westbrook was immature, had discipline problems, and beat up Stephen Davis. But in comparison to Moss' behavior, Westbrook doesn't compare. Norv the non-disciplinarian is going to get walked all over by a guy like Moss. Norv's only saving grace is winning football games. If they win, everyone will be happy and overlook the antics. Norv's problem is that his lack of a disciplined team means they won't try hard enough and they will lose games. I feel for Raiders fans... it will be an up and down season. Kerry Collins, Porter, and Moss can make for a great combination but they may have an equally trying season with frustrating losses.

Brian Mitchell
It's about time BMitch returned to the Skins. It was terrible that he left on bad terms with the team and it's a relief to know that he considers himself a Redskin through and through. He's as much Mr. Redskin as Darrell Green was. It's perfect that Gibbs welcomes him for his short-lived return. As much as people talk about his career stats being second-only to Rice in all-purpose yards, I highly doubt that Brian Mitchell will ever be considered for the Hall of Fame.
Jeremiah Trotter
Speaking of returns, Trotter's successful return to Philly pisses me off horribly. The Redskins made him rich by rewarding his Pro Bowl years at their division rival. Then he arrives in DC and does nothing. In fact, he did nothing but prove himself utterly replaceable. I guess it must be Jim Johnson's system that suits Trotter so well. But the high-profile signings for huge $ and underpeformance is a sad trend. Wilkinson, Stubblefield, Sanders, Trotter. What makes it worse about Trotter was his mending of ways with Philly and stabilizing the middle for them.
Art Monk
Re: the Hall of Fame, it seems like Monk is destined to always fall short when the final cuts are made. His teammate Gary Clark (my favorite Redskin of all time) ironically becomes his opponent because Monk detractors say that Clark made the clutch catches. I guess those detractors conveniently forget that he set the single-season record for receptions with 106, retired as the #1 receiver in catches, teamed with Clark and Ricky Sanders to be only the second trio with 1,000 yards receiving), and was a part of three Super Bowl teams.
