Washington Redskins: 3 major concerns heading to training camp
By Craig Stofko
What are the top issues facing the Washington Redskins heading into 2019 training camp? We narrow the list down to three.
The Washington Redskins made some offseason moves that brought the team back from the brink of disaster. There are still three big questions that have to be answered in training camp.
The three main concerns are all related to issues with depth and (thankfully) not the starting lineups. Washington has basically the same team penciled in as starters that they had at the beginning of last season.
Obviously, a new quarterback will be running the offense. Otherwise, the team has the same wide receivers with an infusion of young talent that should push for playing time early, a loaded backfield, and the exact same trio of overpaid yet very skilled tight ends.
Also, with the exception of a new left guard, the offensive line returns four starters that are among some of the best in the league.
Considering where I thought this team might be after losing its starting quarterback and the $20 million plus a year slam to the salary cap I confess to being impressed with how things have come together.
Three areas that seem to have been somewhat neglected are the aforementioned trio of tight ends, the lack of depth at the safety position, and a backup to Trent Williams.
