5.) Red zone struggles continue – Despite their ability to move the ball with relative ease, Washington’s touchdown deficiency continues. This preseason, they have 32 points to show for despite moving into scoring position 10 times. The Redskins should have scored more than two touchdowns (a Grossman pass last week and a Hightower run this week). Shanahan said part of the problem is the team hasn’t game-planned for opponents and doing so in the regular season will reveal to him and his coaches ways they can exploit the opponent. Another problem: This team still is in need of playmakers. A healthy Chris Cooley would help. And playing Santana Moss all game will help as well. But Washington needs rookie Leonard Hankerson or another big target, fellow rookie Niles Paul, to step up to help the quarterbacks in the red zone.
