Redskins notes and analysis | Washington Examiner
Tight end Chris Cooley did not participate in the final practice of minicamp (Redskins coach Mike Shanahan called off the Thursday practice) because of a "slight hamstring" Shanahan said. Earlier in OTAs Cooley dealt with a slight groin issue. But Shanahan said the one positive is that Cooley?s knee continues to show no signs of swelling. Nor has he needed to have any fluid drained.

"Then, we?ll have a couple hours of film, but we?re not going to practice tomorrow afternoon. "We?re a little banged up. We?ve done a heck of a job throughout the offseason, all these OTA?s. Tomorrow will be more of a workout, running and lifting, more of a meeting, but we won?t go through what we did today."

POINT - COUNTERPOINT - Redskins Defensive Line | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
The Redskins defensive line looks to be arguably the best unit on the football team next to possibly the linebacking core. I think Shanahan has done a strong job adding both talent and depth to this positional group. Having Barry Cofield and Stephen Bowen back for their 2nd season should make them better. Add the resigning of Adam Carriker and most importantly the addition of Jarvis Jenkins back from the ACL, and I really think this is the backbone of the team right now.

"With RG3 and some other playmakers in tow, Washington thinking big in 2012 At a time when offseason grades are really nothing more than predictions of anticipated potential, it seems sensible enough to suggest any team that has added a possible franchise quarterback has the most to gain. That said, since the Redskins also are among the teams that added some real weapons to an otherwise stagnant offense, I'd say it's equally sensible to expect far more from this team in 2012.
