Good for McNabb and his agent, Fletcher Smith, for firing back after the Shanahans handled things in such a poor manner down in DC. From a statement Smith released today: There have been many reports leaked of Donovan not being in shape and not being able to grasp Kyle?s offense. The fact is Donovan came into camp in the best shape of his career having dropped 10 pounds in the offseason. Donovan spent most of his offseason in Washington working out with the Redskins and never missed a practice. Unfortunately, it appears as though the Redskins coaching staff decided that their 12-year veteran quarterback, who flawlessly executed one of the NFL's most complex offensive systems (in Philadelphia), is unable to grasp Kyle?s offense. I believe there is tension between Donovan and Kyle that's rooted in the fact that Donovan has suggested modifications to Kyle's offense based on intricacies Donovan has learned in his NFL career. For example, Donovan has asked all year that the team run more screen passes to help manage the pass rush more effectively.�Ironically, Kyle decided to employ Donovan's suggestions after he unceremoniously benched him on Sunday. The whole thing is worth a read. Things are even crazier down in DC than we could have imagined. Five reportedly took scout team reps today. Scout team.
Burglar alarm
