we will know soon about this wr corp
Having legitimate options to force opponents to defend the run and the pass when the quarterback gets outside would create a nearly impossible conflict for defenders. When you write "We will know soon about this WR corp," it is not inconsistent with what almost everyone has been saying about the need to upgrade from questionable/unknown to a certainty. What happens when as I've been suggesting, people who don't already recognize our current players are miscast suddenly discover they are when the season begins? At that point, it's too late to make the necessary adjustments and instead of making progress, they are saddled with another season filled with "if onlys" or "what if's" retrospectives.

Btw; just to put this out in the open, the WR corp will look better than it had been in the previous year, but not as dynamic as it could be without significant upgrades, and that will be because of the QB and offensive scheme.

free agents after cuts?
training camp trades?

as you know, rookie salaries can make a vet. expendable if he shows out.

All could still happen but my response was to @dad who wrote, "We will know soon about this WR corp." The ONLY sure way to know about them is under legitimate NFL fire, during the season when it counts. Free agent cuts, training camp trades, and rookies who win jobs over vets ALL happen before the season begins.

No disrespect dad, But..."schemes/techniques taught by Quinn/Whitt in Dallas" REALLY?
The entire position group learns the desired techniques and the different schemes. Player instincts can't be taught, you either got um or you don't. This is the separator.

Quinn relates very well with players, he's a great players coach. He will be tremendous compared to the last couple of head coaches in DC.
I think 8 wins would be a great sign of improvement this season. The coaching staff has much to prove for themselves as NFL coaches. That sure won't be a bad thing for the skins fan base. The excitement it should kick start with fans will make it a fun season.

Nothing is guaranteed but Forbes showed good instincts in college. The entire Washington defensive backfield was bad last year. Maybe the kid doesn't have it but maybe he does and he just needed better coaching. I don't see why you shouldn't have posted what you did.

Definitely better coaching, lol.
Not sure why they thought Forbes on AJ would be wise, he's destroys single coverage throughout the league

Any of the Washington CBs on AJ with that coaching staff was not a good idea.
