Guest J_Cart Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 My personal review of the 2009 team - My Top 5 Things To Watch For... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74nIep7WCpg 2009 Washington Redskins training camp is one of most exciting in a long time. Whether it's for the anticipation of seeing the re-vamped Defensive line featuring newcomers Albert Haynesworth and Brian Orakpo, the drama and hype and expectations revolving around Jason Campbell, or the unofficial feud between Clinton Portis and Jim Zorn. I'll be down in Ashburn VA for training camp this week. It should be great. J Cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
