Miserable

The Skins have been lousy in their first two preseason games. It has rather startling for fans that were hoping to see the team execute like a well-oiled machine. In fact, the team has executed as if there are a bunch of monkeywrenches in the system. The offense is clearly not in sync with Saunders' system so far. The first-team looked stellar against the Bengals but that was against Anthony Wright at quarterback. Giving up 200 yards on the ground against the "who's at RB" Jets is downright sad.

If there's anyone who can bring the Skins together and instill the proper sense of urgency, it's Gibbs. He and his coaching staff are among the best in the business. Luckily, it's still the preseason and we know that even a system that looks great in preseason can flop big-time during the regular season (Steve Spurrier).

Stephen Davis

I always thought it would be great to bring Stephen Davis back to retire as a Redskin. Now that he's in the market, it would be nice to sign him for the veteran minimum (assuming he'd go for that) with performance clauses. After all, Portis is banged up and Betts can't stay healthy. Undoubtedly, the Skins are quite happy with Rock Cartwright and Jesse Lumsden. Add in Mike Sellers and Nemo Broughton and you've already got quite a crowded backfield. A healthy Davis is probably still better than Cartwright. The advantages Cartwright has are health and special teams versatility. Davis couldn't take Sellers' spot as FB but would be an upgrade over the unproven Lumsden. Davis is also talking to Philly. With Correll Buckhalter back, the Eagles are probably set. On the other hand, if they did sign him, how awful would it be to face LaVar in Giant blue one week and Stephen Davis in an Eagles uniform some weeks later?
