Washington Redskins’ Key Position Battles

With training camp starting tomorrow (or today, since it’s after midnight), it’s time to look at the Redskins’ preseason position battles.

There will be several key battles that will help determine how the season turns out, so you can be sure the coaches will not take them lightly, and neither will the media. The attention given to some of these battles over the course of training camp will be covered constantly.

There was some talk about the Redskins signing Michael Vick, and then having him and Jason Campbell battle it out for the starting job. However, Jim Zorn quelled those rumors very quickly. I don’t know why signing Vick even came up, because constantly second guessing your franchise QB who has performed reasonably well in the tough NFC East is stupid. Also, Campbell is better than Vick, especially after his extended prison stay.

The rosters cut down to 75 players on September 1st and to 53 on September 5th, so these positions will be set by then.
